Basic Education Processes

Educate your clients about addiction. If they are finding it difficult to give up or if they justify why they are using it frequently, explain that the problem can become more serious and that they should not be embarrassed to ask for help. This is especially important with over-the-counter remedies because they do not require a prescription and many clients do not know they can be addictive. Integrating basic education and support into the therapeutic relationship can help to address the client s and family s concerns and can facilitate the intervention process and help medications work more effectively. 

Provide basic education in the law and the legal process, which shonld reduce some of the anxiety abont legal action. 

During the last decades new insights in the competences of health care professionals have evolved, centring on the communication with patients. Basic education may be pivotal in pharmacy, however insight and oversight of Healthcare institutions and the way pharmaceutical companies organise their processes are necessary as well. 

For the purpose of minimising the hazards that are results of erroneous human behaviour, a structured educational process is necessary. Although it is known that the human factor is unpredictable in critical situations, the probability of a proper reaction increases if the tunnel users have received better education and training. Throughout the education and training process, tunnel users should familiarise themselves with an otherwise strange environment (i.e. the road tunnel). Apart from basic rules and guidelines, the tunnel user should be able to react in a proper manner even... 

The course instructors or professors have not tried to intentionally deceive their students. Most individuals cannot grasp the full depth and detail of any chemical concept the first time that it is presented to them. It has been found that most people learn complex subjects best when first given a basic description of the concepts and then left to develop a more detailed understanding over time. Despite the best elforts of educators, a few misconceptions are at times possibly introduced in the attempt to simplify complex material for freshmen students. The part of this process that perpetuates any confusion is the fact that texts and instructors alike often do not acknowledge the simplifications being presented. 

Through this chapter we would like to express our appreciation of all these educational concepts. Besides (not in contrast) the conceptions mentioned above, our intention is to initialise a process of reflection and maybe of conceptual change for the learners. Learning about the history of science into more detail can be a desired by-product , but it is not the main focus of the approach described above. Therefore, it is our aim to promote learning about basic processes in chemical enquiry, whereas the other projects mainly focused on learning about single topic or phase in the history of chemistry.
