Module outcomes

This module is an interactive conceptual frameworks course will be developed in such a way as to provide;

  • A foundation for the clinical reasoning process.
  • Opportunities to re-visit material that was taught.
  • Opportunities to build on existing knowledge from previous years.
  • Relevant exercise and material to apply in practice.
  • Improved availability of learning material and interactivity.

These outcomes directly relate to the following course outcome that students will be able to:

  • Name and describe occupational therapy conceptual frameworks.
  • Extract principles from a range of conceptual frameworks and begin applying these to occupational therapy scenarios.
  • Identify and begin to apply different forms of clinical reasoning as guide by theory
  • Be able to identify the role of cues, context, task and skill in determining occupational therapy action.

Procedure

  • The teaching time is divided into an introduction followed by 6 lectures, each of which deals with a separate theory.
  • Students are divided into groups of 5 for the duration of the module
  • Before each lecture, each group is allocated the same pre-reading (theory) and a different paper case (this module includes 5 such paper cases per lecture to be divided among the groups).
  • Also, before each lecture time is set aside to allow the students, in their groups, to interact with the prescribed reading and application thereof to the paper-based case allocated.
  • During the lecture the are expected to present their understanding / application process

Method of assessment

  • Duly Performed attached to each presentation
  • Application of conceptual framework to an allocated client during practice learning
