week 10 Flashcards

Q

what scenario based learning

A
  • An approach to strengthen student’s understanding and interconnections between teaching, learning and research
  • Educational form at centred around discussion and learning from a clinically based scenario
  • Assists students to integrate theory and practice, and apply previous learnt knowledge
  • Utilises actual scenarios presented in a variety of formats (e.g. clinical cases, video, simulated and real patients)
  • Assists students to understand conceptual foundations of occupational therapy e.g. body functions and structures, the environment and the occupations people participate in.
  • Students are given puzzling situations and are required to define their own gaps in understanding in the context of relevant clinical problems

Q

whats self directed do

A
  • Allows students to have a greater ownership of their learning and how they construct their own knowledge rather than being “told” what to learn
  • From passive learners to more active participants e.g. sharing past placement experiences and knowledge
  • Involves purposeful engagement with specific questions, problems and learning activities

Q

wha are threshold concepts

A
  • First proposed by Meyer & Lund in 2003
  • Threshold concepts are described as “a portal, opening up a new and previous inaccessible way of thinking about something” (Meyer & Lund, 2003, p. 1)
  • In the same way as in the physical world, a threshold must be crossed in order to enter a new understanding of something
  • Proposed that in each discipline, there are concepts that are vital to understand “without which the learner cannot progress”
  • Proposed that threshold concepts could be “potentially powerful transformative points in the student’s learning experience” (Meyer & Lund, 2003, p. 57)
  • Belief is that by applying threshold concepts, it can assist educators by identifying ‘stuck places’ in a curriculum that block students’ understanding
  • Is proposed that threshold concepts can facilitate a dialogue between lecturers, students and educational developers
  • Creates a ‘transactional curriculum inquiry’ in which all key players􏰁academics, students and educationalists􏰁work together

Q

5 traits/ attributes of threshold concepts

A
transformative 
irreversible
integrative 
troublesome
bounded
17
Q

whats transformative

A

: they can transform the learner’s understanding of the discipline; they can have an affective component that transforms the learner through a change in values, feelings or attitudes

18
Q

whats irreversible

A

once acquired, the new understanding will not be forgotten and is unlikely to be unlearned

19
Q

whats integrative

A

threshold concepts expose the “previously hidden interrelatedness of something” (p

20
Q

whats troublesome

A

: threshold concepts are frequently difficult and challenging to acquire and learn

21
Q

whats bounded

A

: threshold concepts has boundaries or ‘terminal frontiers’ that border on other conceptual thresholds

22
Q

occupational therapy threshold concepts

A
  • Occupational therapy academic staff at the University of Queensland undertook a reform activity of their curriculum in 2009-2010
  • Compiled a list of 20 pieces of ‘troublesome knowledge’􏰁aspects of the course that students found hard to grasp
  • Using thematic analysis, this list of 20 pieces of knowledge were reduced to 8 items
  • Then the 8 items were subjected to an in depth review to determine whether they were true threshold It was asked if each of the 8 items was transformative, irreversible, integrative, bounded and troublesome􏰁threshold concepts were identified if they met all of these criteria.
  • Five occupational threshold concepts were identified
23
Q

Roger and turpin 2011

A

in the Division of Occupational Therapy at the University of Queensland identified five occupational therapy specific threshold concepts after completing a ‘transformative curriculum renewal and planning’ process

24
Q

purposeful and meaningful occupation

A
  1. Purposeful and meaningful occupation
    • Clark et al. (1991) defined occupation as “chunks of culturally and personally meaningful activity in which humans engage that can be named in the lexicon of the culture” (p. 301)
25
Q

client centred practice

A
  • Client Centred Model (OT) was formulated by the Canadian Occupational Therapy Association (CAOT) in 1997
  • Resembles Carl Roger’s “person-centred” therapy approach; a client seeks the advice of a professional for life management
  • Law et al. (1995) stated that client-centred practice is: “An approach to providing occupational therapy, which embraces a philosophy of respect for and partnership with people receiving services. It recognises the autonomy of individuals, the need for client choice in making decisions about occupational needs, the strengths clients bring to an occupational encounter and the benefits of client-therapist partnership and the need to ensure that services are accessible and fit the context in which a client lives” (p. 253).
26
Q

assumptions of client centred practice

A
  • Clients know what they want & need from therapy
  • Ultimate relevance of the client’s perspective on problems
  • Professional dominance is counter-therapeutic
  • Therapist cannot be the instrument of change, only the facilitator
27
Q

six principles of client centred practice

A
  1. The client is capable of choice
  2. Flexibility & individualised approach
  3. Therapist’s role as enabler (therapist shares power & empowers client)
  4. Success measured by client’s attainment of goals (client sets own priorities)
  5. Need for contextual congruence – (interventions have meaning in client’s own life settings)
  6. Client’s readiness to use therapist expertise
28
Q

whats Roger and Turpin 5 occupational therapy specific threshold concepts

A
  1. purposeful and meaningful occupation

  4. identify as an occupational therapy
  5. thinking critically, reasoning and reflecting
29
Q

intergral nature of occupational therapy theory and practice

A

• Occupational therapists use a number of theoretical frameworks to frame their practice.

Examples of Practice Theories
• Model of Human Occupation (MOHO)
• Canadian Model of Occupational Performance & Engagement (CMOP-E)

reflecting

A

  • Schön introduced the concepts of “reflection-in-action” (thinking on your feet) and “reflection-on-action” (thinking after the event).
  • Reflective practice is described by MacNaughton (2003) as “an intellectually engaged activity geared to changing practices by transforming knowledge”.
  • Gruska, McLeod and Reynolds (2005) describes reflective practice as a continuous process rather than a one off event involving, “repeated cycles of examining practice, adjusting practice and reflecting on it, before you try it again”.
