Occupational therapy education in a technological world.
As occupational therapy curricula prepare students to meet the needs of clients living in a technological world, at SHU we have chosen to emphasize professional survival and practice in a technology learning context. The curriculum is guided throughout by the pedagogy of learning through doing (Dewey, 1916), using technology-based learning that increases in complexity and application as the program advances. This education results in the professional preparation of therapists who are equipped to apply their skills in the treatment of clients living in a modern world. Aspects of this approach, which ties technology to occupation, might be considered by other training programs in different settings.
