Description
While this book is based primarily on experiences of occupationaltherapy practice education in South Africa, it aims to haveinternational appeal as key principles of practice and servicelearning are drawn from the differing scenarios covered. Based on qualitative research, some of the book's chaptersdescribe issues faced by students in complex practice situationsand highlight educational strategies for promoting sociallyresponsive professional development. They show how studentsengage with the personal and professional challenges of working ina multicultural society and how situated learning can enhance theirresourcefulness in meeting the needs of individuals, groups andcommunities.
The book is divided into three sections: The first, on thepractice education agenda, establishes the academic rationale forvarious forms of practice learning within an occupational therapycurriculum. The second section examines the learningopportunities offered by different practice contexts and highlightsmechanisms for developing the professional identity ofstudents. The final section, on enhancing potential, reviewsmechanisms that may be used for supporting students in the field,and ends with a look at the future of practice education and how itmight develop in response to social and internationaldrivers.
