You will learn about the history and development of occupational therapy, along with its theoretical and philosophical underpinnings. You will explore occupational science and its relationship to professional practice, examining various theories and models of practice. The curriculum will cover professional and ethical person-centred practice, as well as occupational analysis and therapeutic occupations. Methods of assessment and evaluation will be emphasised, including the problem-solving process and the use of clinical reasoning and decision-making theories relevant to the occupational therapy process. Additionally, youwill engage in communication and the therapeutic use of self, while fostering cultural humility, considerations, and competency. Reflective practice will be an important focus, along with accessing and utilising research and theoretical evidence. Lastly, youwill examine the contexts and influences on occupational therapy practice and gain insights into clinical conditions such as osteoarthritis, psychosis, learning disabilities, and dementia, along with appropriate assessment and intervention strategies.

Using an active learning approach, a variety of teaching and learning methods will be used including lectures, workshops, practical skills, directed study tasks, problem-based learning, and technology enhanced learning.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lectures will be used to introduce material, to provide guidance for further independent study and to summarise and set in context topics studied. Workshops are designed to facilitate student group discussions (both face to face and via VLE) to explore key concepts and consolidate learning. Problem based learning will enable you students to explore topics, relate to practice, and share experiences and ideas. It also assists with developing evaluative cognitive skills as well as communication skills both in discussion and presentation to the group and the facilitators. Formative feedback will be offered by the teaching team throughout the module; this will include ongoing feedback after workshops and directed study activities as well as the specific formative assessments described below.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The VLE will be used to support the teaching and learning in this module. Lectures (including recorded material), directed study activities, reading list suggestions, web links, and discussion boards will be available in the module pages. The learning materials will remain available to the you throughout your enrolment at CSGUL.&nbsp;

N.B. There is a minimum 80% mandatory attendance for this module. &nbsp;&nbsp;In-person – refers to where you attend classes in a physical learning space. This will be supported by online learning resources that you can access online.&nbsp;&nbsp;Directed online study – refers to where you are taking a fully online programme with specific activities and resources that you are directed to undertake asynchronously by the lecturer to meet the learning outcomes of the module.&nbsp;
