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.
