David Mathews, Shelby Davenport and Mona GurayaInstructional Design Report 4University of Alabama at BirminghamGoal Statement At the conclusion of this training the volunteers at Blazer Kitchen will be able to explain to the shoppers at Blazer Kitchen nutritional information regarding the foods that are available within the kitchen as well as how shoppers can put together a nutritious meal.Deliverables that Achieve the GoalLarge Poster 1Why is it important to eat vegetables? Eating vegetables provides health benefits – people who eat more vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases. Vegetables provide nutrients vital for health and maintenance of your body.Nutrient Rich?Most vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories. None have cholesterol. (Sauces or seasonings may add fat, calories, and/or cholesterol.)Vegetables are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, and vitamin C.Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Vegetable sources of potassium include sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomato products (paste, sauce, and juice), beet greens, soybeans, lima beans, spinach, lentils, and kidney beans.Dietary fiber from vegetables, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is important for properbowel function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis. Fiber-containing foods such as vegetables help provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories.Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant should consume adequate folate from foods, and in addition 400 mcg of synthetic folic acid from fortified foods or supplements. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects, spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal development.Vitamin A keeps eyes and skin healthy and helps to protect against infections.Vitamin C helps heal cuts and wounds and keeps teeth and gums healthy. Vitamin C aids in iron absorption.Health BenefitsEating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce risk for heart disease, including heart attack and stroke.Eating a diet rich in some vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may protect against certain types of cancers.Diets rich in foods containing fiber, such as some vegetables and fruits, may reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.Eating vegetables and fruits rich in potassium as part of an overall healthy diet may lower blood pressure and may also reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and help to decrease bone loss.Eating foods such as vegetables that are lower in calories per cup instead of some other higher-calorie food may be useful in helping to lower caloriePoster 2Key nutrients found in whole grains:Fiber: The bran provides most of the fiber in whole grains.Vitamins: Whole grains are particularly high in B vitamins, including niacin, thiamin and folate Minerals: They also contain a good amount of minerals, such as zinc, iron, magnesium and manganese.Protein: Whole grains provide several grams of protein per serving.Antioxidants: Several compounds in whole grains act as antioxidants. These include phytic acid, lignin and sulfur compounds Plant compounds: Whole grains deliver many types of plant compounds that play a role in preventing disease. These include lignans, stanols and sterolsKey nutrients in one ounce (28 grams) of dry oats Fiber: 3 gramsManganese: 69% of the RDIPhosphorous: 15% of the RDIThiamin: 14% of the RDIMagnesium: 12% of the RDICopper: 9% of the RDIZinc and iron: 7% of the RDIPoster 3Nutritional Value of ProteinHow is protein used by the body?Proteins have many different jobs within the body.??As previously mentioned, the body uses proteins for energy.? Protein is also used as an enzyme, which starts reactions within the body, including metabolism, and gene growth & repair.?Proteins are also used by the body to carry signals from one part of the body to another and to form structures, including muscles.How much protein do I need in my diet?Protein should account for 10-35% of your daily caloric intake.? Many nutrition experts also recommend an intake of 1 gram of protein per 1 kilogram of body weight (0.4 g per pound).Consuming too much protein may be harmful to the body.? High amounts of protein in the diet put stress on the kidneys and liver as they try to dismantle and dispose of the extra protein.Sources of protein: Meat products (hamburger, fish, chicken), dairy products (cheese, milk, yogurt, cottage cheese), eggs, tofu, lentils, and soymilk.Eating complete protein (containing all amino acids) will help ensure that you do not become deficient in essential amino acids.??Complete proteins include meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and soy (a non-animal source).??Nuts, grains, fruits, and vegetables are typically incomplete.??For this reason, it is important for vegetarians to pair non-animal products wisely in order to consume all essential amino acids in their daily diet.Nutrients and Health Benefits of DairyConsuming dairy products provides health benefits – especially improved bone health. Foods in the Dairy Group provide nutrients that are vital for health and maintenance of your body. These nutrients include calcium, potassium, vitamin D, and protein.NutrientsCalcium is used for building bones and teeth and in maintaining bone mass. Dairy products are the primary source of calcium in American diets. Diets that provide 3 cups or the equivalent of dairy products per day can improve bone mass.Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Dairy products, especially yogurt, fluid milk, and soymilk (soy beverage), provide potassium.Vitamin D functions in the body to maintain proper levels of calcium and phosphorous, thereby helping to build and maintain bones. Milk and soymilk (soy beverage) that are fortified with vitamin D are good sources of this nutrient. Other sources include vitamin D-fortified yogurt and vitamin D-fortified ready-to-eat breakfast cereals.Milk products that are consumed in their low-fat or fat-free forms provide little or no solid fat.?Health benefitsIntake of dairy products is linked to improved bone health and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.The intake of dairy products is especially important to bone health during childhood and adolescence, when bone mass is being built.Intake of dairy products is also associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and with lower blood pressure in adults.?Why is it important to make fat-free or low-fat choices from the Dairy Group?Choosing foods from the Dairy Group that are high in saturated fats and cholesterol can have health implications. Diets high in saturated fats raise "bad" cholesterol levels in the blood. The "bad" cholesterol is called LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. High LDL cholesterol, in turn, increases the risk for coronary heart disease. Many cheeses, whole milk, and products made from them are high in saturated fat. To help keep blood cholesterol levels healthy, limit the amount of these foods you eat. In addition, a high intake of fats makes it difficult to avoid consuming more calories than are needed.Nutritional benefits of Fats and SugarsFats and carbohydrates should provide the bulk of your diet, calorie-wise, states the University of Illinois McKinley Health Center. Fats should account for at least 20 percent of your daily calories, but no more than 35 percent. Aim for the majority of your fat calories to come from plant sources and avoid trans fats found in processed baked goods and fried foods. Of the 45 to 65 percent of calories that should come from carbohydrates, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encourages you to eat half from whole grains and to consume simple sugars through natural, whole-foods.Posters663702021062950071221602356485007362190247015000758126521907500074688702596515001754505264223500180657525393650023126702667000002038350232473500253428525057100027578052370455002626360193421000295021022542500031673802143760003131820169926000333248016433800034112201590675003625850153733500Posters for Blazer KitchenInstructional DeliverablesLearning ComponentPretest DirectionsPretestDirections: Assess your knowledge!

Match Each Type of Food Group Available to the Corresponding Food Group for objectives 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6This information does have a right and wrong answer, so it is important for you to answer correctly. Unbalanced meals and consumption of only Ramen noodles is not a good option for best performance as a student as it can affect mind and body. Additionally, remember that this learning can be transferred into jobs settings that volunteer learners may work in in the future and this experience will look good on resume. The learners should be informed that adhering to Blazer Kitchen mission to increase food security in the UAB community by providing healthy food, resources, and referrals to UAB employees, students, patients and their families is a rewarding experience. Additionally, remember that some shoppers may take offense when approach the topic of nutrition and health, so it is important to approach the subject in a respectful manner. Facilitator instructions and description of the topics that will be covered?State the food groups. Provide examples of foods within each food group. Explain what makes each food fit within each food group. Note any discrepancies. State common foods available in Blazer Kitchen using job aids.Match the foods available to the corresponding food group.View job aids on food grouping and stress on importance sharing the information on job aids correctly as this knowledge will be used to assist shoppers in making selections based on Blazer Kitchen guidelines. Familiarize yourselves with the skill of sharing job aids with shoppers, asking questions, and encouraging shoppers in making healthy choices. State the health conditions that can be cause by eating unbalanced diet.State the recommended quantities of carbohydrate, fats, proteins, produce, dairy and milk day. Student Feedback:Session 3, How to Identify Food Groups: Fruits and Vegetables, Grains and Cereals, Meats, Milk and Dairy, and Product Labels for Objectives 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, & 3.6 When Asked in Writing to Identify the Food Groups and Identify Sodium, Fats, and Sugars, Learners Identify Correctly.This information does have a right and wrong answer, so it is important to clearly state what causes each item to belong to each food group, as well as discuss the ways to correctly identify sodium, fats, and sugars on a product label. Learning this information can help the shoppers at Blazer Kitchen to have better quality of life and that the shoppers may have never taken into account the nutritional value of foods that they are eating. As always, remember that some shoppers may take offense when approach the topic of nutrition and health, so it is important to approach the subject in a respectful manner. Facilitator instructions and description of the topics that will be coveredState the importance of understanding how to read a product label.State the common nutritional facts on a product label. Stress the importance of not overconsuming calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fats. State the health conditions that can be cause by overeating.State the recommended quantities of fats, sugars, and cholesterol that should be consumed per day. State that it is very easy to overconsume fats, sugars, and cholesterol in one day, give an example of a common food that is over the recommended serving size, but that people usually eat in excess. (Such as chips, candy, etc.)Google a product label for a common food that is over the recommended serving size for one serving, but that people usually eat in excess. (Example, popcorn)Note the fat, sugars, and cholesterol content and compare it to the recommended serving size. Provide examples of alternative snacks that do not exceed the recommended serving size. Student FeedbackSession 4, How to Identify the Nutritional Value of a Product: Practice for Objectives 4.1 & 4.2. Given a Product Label, Determine the Nutritional Value of a ProductThis skill is important for each volunteer to have, so group participation should not be the main objective. Google varied product labels to that the you can see an example of a nutritional product vs. a non-nutritional product. Play video: How the food you eat affects your brain.Facilitator instructions Google a minimum of five product labels, preferably of common foods or snacks. The form should state the recommended caloric, sugar, sodium, and cholesterol intake for one serving. State for each product whether the: calories, sugar, sodium, and cholesterol, are above the recommended serving size for one serving. Student FeedbackSession 5: Explain how much of each food Group is Necessary to Consume in Order to Maintain a Nutritional Diet for Objective 5.This information requires for you to explain what a nutritional diet entails, and the daily requirement needed to maintain a nutritional diet. It should be noted that good nutrition is the key to good performance in school. Helping student shoppers make good nutritional choices by learning what these choices are should help both the learner and target audience. This learning can be transferred into jobs settings that volunteer learners will work in the future and this experience will look good on resume. Adhering to Blazer Kitchen mission to increase food security in the UAB community by providing healthy food, resources, and referrals to UAB employees, students, patients and their families is a rewarding experience. As always, remember that some shoppers may take offense when approach the topic of nutrition and health, so it is important to approach the subject in a respectful manner. Coaching Case StudyVideo: 18 years or older should not consume more than 300 mg of cholesterol in a day.Adult women 18 years or older should not have more than 25 g of sugar in a day. Adult men 18 years or older should not have more than 38 g of sugar in a day. Adults 18 years or older should not consume more than 2,300 mg of sodium in a day. View samples of the nutritional meals using job aids and video on nutrition.Use the items in Blazer Kitchen and categorize the same into nutritious meal and non- nutritious meal.Explain why the meals are nutritious and non-nutritious. Write a reflection to explain the importance of nutritious meal.Recall the effective, inoffensive questioning strategy to help make nutritious choices by using Coaching Case Study on Active Listening and Powerful Questioning as a reference.Create 5 questions that are effective and inoffensive regarding approaching shoppers on the topic of nutrition and healthy eating. Student FeedbackSession 6, Create a Nutritional Meal Plan for Each Meal of the Day that Includes Meals, Snacks, and Beverages: Practice for Objectives 6.1, 6.2. & 6.2 Given Job Aids, Create a Meal Plan for Once DayThis practice assignment will give you the knowledge that they need to provide shoppers with healthy meals, snacks, and beverage ideas for one day. Use all of the knowledge that they have gathered so far in this training. Using job aids that will provide you with information regarding caloric intake, sugar, sodium, fat, and cholesterol intake, you should develop a meal plan that does not exceed the recommended calories for one day (for a person of their gender and age) by 100 calories, and does not exceed the recommended sugar, sodium, fat and cholesterol intake.Facilitator instructions Provide four examples of healthy snacks.Provide two examples of healthy beverages (remember that beverages can oftentimes contain above the recommended sugar serving size).Obtain job aids as well as a blank piece of paper to write your meal plan on. Take 15 minutes to develop a meal plan for one day that includes one meal for each meal of the day, snacks, and beverages.

We have high regards for your position as Blazer Kitchen Coordinator through AmeriCorps, for your exemplary dedication and diligent service to this organization. We appreciate your support as we partnered with Blazer Kitchen to design instruction for volunteers and shoppers so that they could accomplish Blazer Kitchen mission to increase food security in the UAB community by providing healthy food, resources, and referrals to UAB employees, students, patients and their families through effective instruction, learning and training.Our team mission was to focus on the knowledge gap “To update existing volunteer training and/or develop materials to aid consumers in shopping by closing a knowledge gap in choosing foods based on nutritional value”. As we designed and developed instruction systematically, you have kindly assisted us in all phases including analysis phase in which we elucidated the performance goals to close the knowledge gap, who the learners were and where the learning would be taking place. We were also helped in the design and development phase as we created the instruction based on learners needs to close the knowledge gap. We appreciate your strong support through the entire process including your feedback and suggestions.We will appreciate it if you would kindly reflect on the deliverables including job aids, posters, and instructional information for volunteer learners to be embedded on website, and meal plans included in the attachment. Some of the suggestions for reflection are if the instructional design was congruent to volunteers’ needs and?what you as Subject Matter Expert (SME) had hoped for. The questionnaire that I shared with you as a part of our report could be used as a baseline for reflection. Since we would like to learn from this experience, we are hopeful that the reflection will include clarity, feasibility and impact of instructional design as well. As you leave Blazer Kitchen today to start a new chapter, I wish you the very best. I am grateful to have taken a small part in the service project and hope to serve well through my role in the Instructional Design field.?With best regards,MonaClient Reflections of the DeliverableThis mission of Blazer Kitchen is to provide UAB students, employees, and select patient clinics with access to healthy food such as fresh produce, frozen meats, bread, and shelf stable nonperishable fruit, vegetables, soup, protein, pasta, and rice. Blazer Kitchen opened in UAB Medical Towers in March 2017. Today, we provide a client choice food pantry to UAB students in both Medical Towers and the Hill Student Center. UAB employees access the Medical Towers site and select patient groups are served by the food pantry in their clinics. Blazer Kitchen has served 1,163 UAB students and employees providing over 165,000 meals.In 2018, the Blazer Kitchen Advisory Board created an ad hoc committee to develop a shopper education program that would enable our staff and volunteers to provide our clients with cooking and nutritional information. We realized that providing access to healthy food was only one solution to ending food insecurity. In order to make a significant impact with our students and employees, we needed to provide information regarding meal preparation, designing healthy plates, reading food labels, and develop recipes utilizing the food offered in Blazer Kitchen.The committee decided to incorporate an active and passive education format. It was decided that Blazer Kitchen would offer nutritional materials, additional recipes, nutritional nudges, food demonstrations and surveys. The committee also decided to provide cook books, access to cooking classes, and food preparation equipment. Additionally, Blazer Kitchen would offer training sessions to educate shoppers how to read labels, develop meal plans, and to better understand their personal dietary restrictions.The Instructional Design students provided us with training material, job aides and videos, as well as pre and posttest materials, that will enable us to meet the goals and objectives of the shopper education ad hoc committee. The job aids have been posted in Blazer Kitchen. The training material and videos will be uploaded to the Blazer Kitchen website. The Food demonstrations began in fall 2018. Over the next few weeks, the material developed by this class be used by volunteers to offer additional information to shoppers during the food demos. Volunteers will also use this training information to design a healthy meal using products found in Blazer Kitchen. The meals will be displayed each week in the waiting room.The materials provided by this class more than met our expectations. This material will enable us to provide a more well-rounded service to our shoppers beyond just offering access to food. We thank you for partnering with Blazer Kitchen this semester. We look forward to partnering with you in the future.Revisions and Reflections of the DeliverableThroughout this Instructional Design process, we have made many revisions and been able to react to the client’s needs and wants as this project has developed. We are very proud of the efforts that we put forth and the of the deliverables that we ended up with including the pre and posttests, instruction, and job aids. We were able to utilize all of our unique talents throughout the development of these different forms of instruction. The main revision that we had to make was changing the format of our instruction last week. Within the one-on-one evaluation it was revealed that there might not be sufficient time and resources to allow the training to be conducted fully by an instructor, so we made the suggestion to upload the training onto the Blazer Kitchen website as well as the job aids, pre and posttest, and videos. This way, the learners will always have easy access to the training materials. This revision is in the process of completion as we have given all of the materials to the client, but the website is under construction and we are waiting for it to be up and running so that the training can be full available to the learners. We believe that we have incorporated multiple forms of instruction within these deliverables. We have instruction in the form of written directions, quizzes and assessments, videos, and charts. By incorporating many kinds of instruction and by giving the learners job aids that will be within the Kitchen at all times, we believe that the learners will be able to learn most efficiently. At this point the client has been completely satisfied with the deliverables that we have provided and based on her feedback we will not be making any more revisions at this time. Reflections of the Systematic ProcessWhy Use Systematic Approach in instructional Design?It has an interlocking connection between instructional strategy and learning outcome. Instructional strategies were planned with learning outcomes which could relate to the mission, vision and close the knowledge gap at Blazer Kitchen It is a powerful tool to plan successful standard based learning with tight alignment with learning outcomes, student characteristics, instructional activities and assessments. Performance objectives for Blazer kitchen were in tight alignment with learning outcomes based on analysis of learners, learning environment and performance support. It is empirical and replicable. It can be evaluated and revised. For example, blazer kitchen instructional design performance and context analysis had to be revised based on lack of space of space and time available. Components of Systematic ProcessIdentify instructional goals Conduct instructional analysisAnalyze Learners and ContextsWrite performance objectivesDevelop Assessment InstrumentsDevelop Instructional StrategyDevelop and Select Instructional MaterialDesign and Conduct Formative and Summative evaluation of InstructionInstructional Design through a systems approach is an iterative process and yields effective learning products and learning outcomes. It is an effective method to design theoretical, active learning instruction. To design instruction In Blazer Kitchen service-learning setting, careful attention had to be paid to what must be learned and what learners must already know in order to begin instructional design process. The systematic design of instruction had to be focused on skills to be learned and presented under best conditions for learning. In Blazer Kitchen setting the knowledge gap required updating existing volunteer training and developing materials to aid consumers in shopping by closing the knowledge gap. This was to be done by helping shoppers choose food based on nutritional value. This was the instructional goal that needed to be in forefront through instructional design process. To achieve this goal and to understand learners and site, team members visited Blazer Kitchen and attended volunteer training. Analyzing learning domains and instructional goals helped to target intellectual skills and attitudinal skills.The instructional analysis included goal, performance, entry skills, subskill, learners, performance and context analysis. All this information was compiled in Instructional Design Report 1. Due to lack of effective teamwork, clarity of thought and purpose, the results in ID report did not yield good results. After a Zoom meeting and discussions, the subskill, entry skill, and performance and learner’s context analysis with implications for learning was revised. This bought clarity and a cohesive goal to work hard to do better at applying systematic design of instruction to close the blazer kitchen knowledge gap. The revised performance goal was “At the conclusion of this training the volunteers at Blazer Kitchen will be able to explain to the shoppers at Blazer Kitchen nutritional information regarding the foods that are available within the kitchen as well as how shoppers can put together a nutritious meal”. The Design Phase included the devising of main step in instructional goal and performance objectives that reflected skills identified in instructional analysis (B), conditions in which the skills will be learned (CN), and criteria for successful performance (CR) for each step. Performance objectives were also devised for subordinate skill objectives. Sample assessments for each objective were included. The instructional strategy was then designed using instructional sequence that included pre -instructional activities, content presentation and learner guidance, learner participation and assessment. The revision and carefully designed theoretical instructional sequence were a part of report 2. Constructivist and cognitive theory-based instruction were epitomized. Pre-instructional activities and other activities will be uploaded in blazer kitchen website. Effective teamwork yielded a good reward in report 2. The Development Phase included devising theory based Instructional strategy that included pre-instructional activities, presenting content with examples, practice and feedback and follow through activities and relate the newly learned skills to real world applications. Six sessions of instruction were devised all of which should be included as deliverables on Blazer Kitchen website. Practice/examples were also selected as deliverables. Job aids and posters were developed from the designed content. Videos in instructional sessions are also projected to be uploaded on website. This was followed by implementation and evaluation phase. Instructional design was evaluated by coordinator and learners. For the learners to be evaluated fairly, with instruments that measures skills and knowledge described in objectives, pretest and posttest were implemented and evaluated by coordinators and learners. A One-on-One evaluation included a questionnaire that was answered as the coordinator and learners were briefed on report 2. A pretest was also given to learners; the result was used to revise instruction so that it is more effective. Small group testing was conducted, and data was analyzed. This helped to design instruction that matched the needs and skills of learners and resulted in creation of effective instruction as exemplified in deliverables and comments like “fantastic” and “more than she hoped for” by the coordinator. We have received an excellent reflection from the coordinator as a result of effective teamwork and hard work. We have respect for this process and should use it in the future in whatever setting we serve. Service-learning setting was an excellent place to practice learning of systematic design of instruction. We want to thank Dr. Hodges for well thought of instructional strategy and sequence. The ADDIE process of analysis, design, development, implement and evaluation tied in with components of systematic design are entwined, and the deliverables and comments reflect that this process should yield effective learning materials Following this approach in instructional design should result in positive learning outcomes and closing knowledge gap. In the ID field with a myriad of design processes, ADDIE through systematic design of instruction is foolproof and should meet learners’ needs and induce effective learning.Portfolio LinkShelby Smith Portfolio Link: Mona Guraya Portfolio Link: ................
