Workshop 1
Professional knowledge !
"Structure of knowledge!
"3 parts of knowledge!
"" paradigm (knowledge unique to an OT)!
""related knowledge (not core OT knowledge, may be used by other
professionals)!
""models (OT specific but provide a way of bringing together all this
knowledge in practice)!
"KSA: knowledge, skills, attitude!
"Person, environment, occupation: the environment can affect the person’s ability to
complete the occupation, environment affecting occupation therefore affecting person, a
person’s occupation affects the environment, many relationships between these terms!
Workshop 2
"Profession: “… is a group recognised by society as having expertise in assessing people
to resolve specified practical problems”!
"“Groups” therefore, it can’t be something that you make that only you can do!
"“expertise”, we have knowledge and skills in the profession (eg. for OT, we have an
occupational perspective of people, using our OT knowledge to help people do the things they
want to do [environment, person, occupation])!
"critical thinking and problem solving aren’t expertise because other professions use them
(it’s related knowledge)!
"“specified practical problems” supporting people with particular practical problems that
they face (eg. for OT, inability/difficulty to do an occupation, it isn’t quality of life or independence)!
"Michael Smith: 24 years old, lives with parents, had a car accident, head injury, broken ribs
and left leg!
