OCCP1104: Analysing and Teaching Occupations

Semester 1, 2023 [Normal day] - Camperdown/Darlington, Sydney

The ability to analyse and teach people how to perform daily occupations is a fundamental occupational therapy competency, applicable to all areas of occupational therapy practice when providing direct or consultative services. This unit of study uses information from theories of learning as well as evidence based principles of systematic instruction to assist students to understand how people learn and change their behaviour. Students learn how to: conduct activity and task analysis of daily occupations and occupational performance of people with and without disability; identify factors which enable and hinder people's participation in daily occupations; and use information from analyses to set occupation-focussed goals. Students develop proficiency using a wide range of teaching/learning strategies which can be used during occupational therapy to facilitate change in performance of day to day activities.

Assessment summary

  • Submitted Learning Tasks: A series of independent learning tasks directly related to class topics. Students will apply the knowledge and skills learnt in class to occupational therapy client and context examples. Work will be submitted in a variety of formats.
  • In Class Assessment: During class, students will apply skills of analysing occupations and performance to client examples. This will include watching a video of a client performing an occupational task and completing an analysis of their performance. Students must pass this in class assessment to pass the Unit of Study.
  • Final Assignment: Students will complete a final assignment based on the practical application of knowledge and skills as required in occupational therapy practice. The assignment will be in relation to real-world client examples and occupational therapy practice situations. Students will develop a teaching and learning instructional plan, applying concepts learnt in class throughout the semester, and will provide rationale and clinical justifications for decisions made regarding the plan. Students must pass this assignment to pass the Unit of Study.
  • Tutorial attendance – Minimum 85% attendance required for tutorial classes. See "Attendance and Class Requirements" section in the Unit of Study Outline

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas.

For more information see guide to grades.

Late submission

In accordance with University policy, these penalties apply when written work is submitted after 11:59pm on the due date:

  • Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
  • After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

Academic integrity

The Current Student website provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

Use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automated writing tools

You may only use generative AI and automated writing tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator. If you do use these tools, you must acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section. The assessment instructions or unit outline will give guidance of the types of tools that are permitted and how the tools should be used.

Your final submitted work must be your own, original work. You must acknowledge any use of generative AI tools that have been used in the assessment, and any material that forms part of your submission must be appropriately referenced. For guidance on how to acknowledge the use of AI, please refer to the AI in Education Canvas site.

The unapproved use of these tools or unacknowledged use will be considered a breach of the Academic Integrity Policy and penalties may apply.

Studiosity is permitted unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission as detailed on the Learning Hub’s Canvas page.

Outside assessment tasks, generative AI tools may be used to support your learning. The AI in Education Canvas site contains a number of productive ways that students are using AI to improve their learning.

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

Attendance and class requirements

Students are expected to attend all lectures and tutorial. If unable to attend class please notify the unit of study coordinator via email.

There is an 85% attendance requirement for tutorial classes. Failure to attend at least 85% of tutorials will automatically result in a Fail grade unless extenuating circumstances are demonstrated. A special consideration application must be submitted and approved with evidence/documentation to support the reason for absence.

Study commitment

Typically, there is a minimum expectation of 1.5-2 hours of student effort per week per credit point for units of study offered over a full semester. For a 6 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 120-150 hours of student effort in total.

This section outlines changes made to this unit following staff and student reviews.

Changes were made to learning activities to offer more opportunities for peer and instructor feedback throughout the semester and to support learning for higher weighted marked assessments. Changes were made to assessments to focus more on assessment for learning and for more authentic assessment that evaluates the application of skills and knowledge to clinical and practical examples.

Study Commitment
Typically, there is a minimum expectation of 1.5 – 2 hours of student effort per week, per credit point for units of study offered over a full semester. For a 6 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 9 – 12 hours of student effort per week or 120 – 150 hours in total over the semester.

Disclaimer

The University reserves the right to amend units of study or no longer offer certain units, including where there are low enrolment numbers.
