Teaching / learning strategy arrow_forward A variety of learning and teaching approaches will be used within this module to support the development of knowledge, understanding, and skills relevant to occupational therapy practice. Lectures will be utilised to introduce and explore core topics, providing a foundation of theoretical knowledge. Tutorials sessions will be grounded in active learning approaches that promote student engagement and practical skill development. The module will adopt realistic case studies to develop skills and collaborative learning. Simulated learning will enable development of key occupational therapy skills and behaviours in safe, reflective environments. Students will be encouraged to draw upon prior learning, personal experience, and contextual knowledge to enhance their contributions and reflections. Independent learning will be supported via the University’s virtual learning environment (GCU Learn), where a variety of digital resources will be made available to extend and consolidate learning beyond the classroom. A range of formative learning activities, including peer feedback and scenario-based tasks through simulation will be embedded throughout the module to clarify assessment expectations, encourage self-evaluation, develop practice skills and build confidence in working towards the learning outcomes. Learning activities and delivery methods will be undertaken predominantly in person, with online components, as appropriate, and will be determined by the Module Leader in accordance with university guidelines and module requirements.
