This module will enable you to draw on the introductory occupational therapy knowledge and learning, to explore how people engage in their occupations and identify the influences on their performance.
This module runs 2 sessions per week in the spring term alongside the modules 'Informing Sciences 1', 'Interprofessional Working and Development' and 'Concepts of Therapy' and 1 session per week in the summer term after practice placement 1, alongside the modules, 'Informing Sciences 2' 'Interprofessional Working and Development' and 'Concepts of Therapy'. You will draw upon the learning from previous modules, as well as experiences you have gained from your first exploratory placement in order to develop your understanding of the occupational nature of human beings. You will consider the potential influences upon occupational engagement and performance, in order to further progress your understanding of the theoretical framework that underpins occupational therapy.
Therefore there is greater emphasis on your self-directed learning and engagement, which is supported by tutor-led and small study group activities.
