Asrina is designed to complement the dental exams performed on-site by local dentists and the existing education program deployed by the UC Berkeley team that focuses on introducing participants to best practices in toothbrushing, the formation of cavities, and making healthy food choices. The social/scenario-based videos help connect the instrumental and conceptual knowledge of oral health and nutrition with real-life situations involving complex decision-making and ambiguity.
Learning Objectives
1. Parents are able to connect instrumental health concepts to their own prior experiences and daily life
2. Parents can articulate a plan for how they would navigate competing priorities/principles to make choices in the best interest of their children's health
3. Parents express confidence in their ability to talk about oral health and nutrition with their children and others in their community

“ Scenarios play at least three roles in the construction of the learning environment: discussion of the scenarios serves to encourage
students to activate relevant prior knowledge, stimulates students’ interest and thus their intrinsic motivation to learn, and sets a
context for the learning of knowledge similar to that in which future use of the knowledge will be required ” (Newman 15)

The scenarios found in the Asrina training library address the following seven criteria, derived from a comprehensive survey of the literature on developing effective scenario-based, problem-based or case-based curriculum. The complete criteria review is provided in the PDF for download.
- Ambiguous & Open-Ended - Scenarios should lack a single right answer and embody complexity
- Immediate & Actionable - Scenarios should convey a sense of immediacy that forces participants to formulate a plan of action
- Contextualized & Situated - Scenarios should be set in a situation or context that is relatable and intrinsically interesting to participants
- Connected to Prior Knowledge - Scenarios should allow opportunities for multiple types of knowledge to be incorporated as resources
- Discussion-Oriented - Scenarios should contain openings/cues/triggers that prompt discussion or debate
- Extrapolation-Enabling - Scenarios should lends themselves to extrapolation or generalization to other similar scenarios or classes of scenarios
- Insight-Producing - Scenarios should lead to insights that confirm opinions, alter opinions, reveal inadequacy in current principles, illuminate difficulties in proposed approach, or suggest new information to be pursued
