Course Description:  This laboratory will explore the meaning and variability of occupation through exposure to self-analysis of occupational patterns, task analysis of crafts and varied activities, and the opportunity to observe the teaching and learning of selection population and to practice the teaching and learning skills.

Additional Course Information:  Additional reading assignments may utilize library resources or be placed onto Canvas.

Course Requirement: Students are responsible for all lecture content, assigned readings, and objectives from course modules.

Students are expected to complete all reading assignments as stated in the class schedule prior to each class and participate in discussions during class, and complete all written, construction, and oral presentation assignments on specified due dates.

Grading Criteria: There will be quizzes, fieldwork analyses, craft projects, activity projects, task analyses, and class presentations. An overall average of 75% must be attained in order to pass this course.

Quizzes                                                      15%

Fieldwork analyses                                     30%           

Presentations/Written assignments

& Task analysis                                          25%           

Final Scrap craft                                         20%           

Participation                                               10%                

Total:                                                           100%          

 

All quizzes will be given during class time. Any missed quizzes will result in a zero unless there is a valid emergency or illness with a medical physician’s note. Quizzes may be scheduled or unscheduled. All unscheduled quizzes will be given at start of class. Any students who are not present at the start of class will receive a “0” on the quiz. There are no make-ups for unscheduled quizzes.

The oral and written assignments are due in to the instructor on the due date. In the event of an absence from class, the paper may be submitted electronically NO LATER than the start of class. Late work will not be accepted and the student will receive a “0”. All written work must be in the student’s own words and, if needed, include a reference in APA format. It is important that each student does his/her own work on any written assignment. Any sentence that is taken directly from any resource must be clearly referenced. It is not acceptable to have >30% of a paper taken directly from any resource, even if it is correctly referenced.

Successful completion of the fieldwork assignment is mandatory. Failure of the fieldwork assignment will result in failure of this course regardless of the grade earned in other areas.

Active participation in the lab sessions is essential in this class. Students are expected to participate, not just observe, in all activities unless there is a valid reason to not do so. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner. This includes notifying the instructor of any known absences or tardiness prior to class, being respectful of class presenters and maintaining a clean, safe classroom environment.   Each student can earn 3 Participation points per class. Participation points will be given as follows: 1 point for arriving to class on time at the start of class and after breaks, 1 point for completed lab assignments, 1 point for active participation (including discussions and clean up). Additional participation points will reflect behaviors observed during the semester and during the final presentations.

It is the responsibility of the student to set up an appointment with the instructor if an examination is below passing (75%).

Grading Scale:     

A = 93-100%

B = 83-92%

C = 75-82%

D = 70-74%

F = below 70%

Course Learning Objectives:

Through interactive laboratory assignments and Level I fieldwork in the community the student will be able to:

1. Identify personal patterns of occupational performance.
2. Describe, from a personal perspective, the influence of personal history and culture on the attachment of meaning to occupation.
3. Produce crafts developmentally appropriate for use in selected occupational therapy settings.
4. Analyze crafts and activities for specific components of occupation within the realm of cognition, emotion, and physical performance.
5. Discuss the teaching/learning process as it applies to occupational therapy.

Student Learning Objectives:

1. Students will use critical thinking to perform a minimum of 4 activity analyses with 75% accuracy.
2. Students will use creative thinking to develop and analyze a therapeutic activity using only scrap materials with 75% accuracy.
3. Students will use verbal communication skills to teach the class a familiar activity with 75% accuracy.
