Active learning teams in health education: teaching-service-community for the prevention of Covid-19


Against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic, this study presents an active learning teams (ALTs) training model for health education as part of teaching-service-community for the prevention of Covid-19 infection. Supervised by an academic staff member, the teams were made up of health students, high school teachers and students, and community health workers. The model uses videos from the Virtual Man Project about the SARS-CoV2 virus and can be offered in remote, face-to-face or hybrid formats. The training model contributes to the response to the pandemic in the field of health education. In addition, the model’s versatile structure means it can be applied across different topics addressed by the courses and to different members of the ALTs.
