Brief description:

The network coordinators Jaime Daniel Leite Junior and Jens Schneider will present the “International Network on Sexualities and Genders within Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science (SexGen-OTOS)” in this webinar. The network brings together occupational therapists and occupational scientists from around the world who work, teach, study and/or develop research on sexualities and genders from occupational therapy and occupational science perspectives. Currently, the network has over 100 members from 18 countries. Their work recognizes the power relations that characterize societies and the ways in which these lead to the marginalization of individuals and groups. In light of this, the members are committed to the human, social, political, civil and occupational rights of all people, including the understanding that all different sexualities and genders should be respected and valued.

The network is structured into four working areas, one of which is “OT & OS education”. The aim of this area is to initiate projects together with study and training programmes within occupational therapy and occupational science. The coordinators’ presentation aims to shed light on the area of “OT & OS education”. Initial recommendations will be provided on how sexualities and genders can be taught in study and training programmes within occupational therapy and occupational science. Finally, we will discuss a research project in the field of education that is currently being planned.

“COIL (collaborative online intercultural learning) in OT – COPILOT”

Speaker:

Elisabeth Fattinger

FH JOANNEUM University of Applied Sciences (FHJ)

Austria

Brief description:

New challenges and chances in our global, technology-focused, and fast-changing modern-day society require a new set of competences from young health care professionals, often referred to as “21st century” skills: cultural sensitivity, efficient collaboration in diverse teams, problem-solving, and critical and creative thinking. Collaborative online intercultural learning in OT education can make a huge contribution to the development of these skills and can reach all our students, not just those who go abroad. So– how can we provide it?

The Erasmus+ project COPILOT (Cooperative Online Peer & Intercultural Learning in Occupational Therapy), consisting of six OT degree programs from Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Sweden, Switzerland and the Netherlands, has created and tested a model, nine online modules, a manual with practical tips as well as supporting resources that allow you to implement this kind of learning in your OT program. For more information, please browse Course: COPILOT Webinar (fh-joanneum.at) (please register and then click “enroll as a student”).

The webinar is meant as a hands-on introduction to COPILOT learning: After a brief survey of basics (model, material), we will go through the seven steps of implementation to show you how to use our OT-related online modules for collaborative intercultural learning at your institution. Time will be set aside for your questions!

“Integrating Occupational Science in a Competence-Based Curriculum for Occupational Therapy Program in Finland”

Speaker:

Annikki Arola, PhD

Principal lecturer in Occupational Therapy

Arcada UAS Helsinki, Finland

Brief description:

Higher Education has a responsibility to empower students with an innovative approach and competence to drive social change. These issues can be addressed by a recognition of Occupational Science (OS) as a core base in the Occupational Therapy (OT) education. This broadens the occupational therapists´ competence to work with occupational challenges that starts with individuals, continues to communities and advances to whole populations regardless of cultural context. In this webinar we will present and discuss the results of a long term and systematic work with a competence-based curriculum development in occupational therapy program. Curriculum was developed by choosing concepts from OS and to progressively integrate them in major subject throughout the OT studies.
