This module is the second Year 2 module and third module overall within the Society and Wellbeing theme. This theme develops students’ understanding of the wider societal context on occupational participation. This module develops knowledge and skills relevant to the development of occupational therapy interventions which contribute to Public Health outcomes. Students develop their knowledge about a range of environments including social, economic, legislative and ecological and the impact these have on different population groups. The module promotes attitudinal recognition and change. Students learn about health promoting models and behavioural change models and their applicability to the design of occupational therapy interventions. Students will increase their knowledge of occupation as an intervention for engagement and participation to enhance health and wellbeing.
Learning and teaching includes large class lectures, small group interactive peer led seminars and tutor led groups and self-directed learning. Students will have the opportunity to pre-record their poster presentation to build their presentation skills.
This module will be assessed through two summative assessments: a poster (1000 word) and a 15 minutes presentation.
