Assistive technology (AT) is an umbrella term that refers to different devices that facilitate the performance of activity for people. Future occupational therapists (OT) must acquire specific competencies to undertake the correct selection of such devices, specifically for those that facilitate access and use the computer.To create a didactic unit to improve the competencies of OT students about assessment of AT to access computers.The didactic unit was implemented with 95 students in OT Bachelor's degree, involving teachers from 2 Spanish universities. The procedure included: definition of competencies and learning results; determination of evidence; didactic unit design, and implementation.The main result was the didactic unit, which included 4 content blocks, each one with several activities defined. The evaluation of the students was continuous, where 48.6% of them achieved a score of between 1.9 and 2.00 (the maximum).The application of the didactic unit allowed to check that students have improved their competencies and knowledge about assessment and prescription of AT for access to a computer.The selection of competencies and learning results helped in determining and embedding expertise and professional skills concerning AT for computer access.
辅助技术 (AT) 是一个总称,指的是为人们完成活动提供便利的不同设备。未来的职业治疗师 (OT) 必须具备特定的能力,以正确选择此类设备,特别是那些便于访问和使用计算机的设备。为了提高 OT 学生评估辅助技术以访问计算机的能力,创建一个教学单元。该教学单元在 OT 学士学位的 95 名学生中实施,涉及来自 2 所西班牙大学的教师。该程序包括:确定能力和学习成果;确定证据;设计和实施教学单元。主要成果是教学单元,包括 4 个内容模块,每个模块都有几个定义的活动。学生的评估是连续的,其中 48.6%的学生得分在 1.9 到 2.00 之间(满分)。教学单元的应用使我们能够检查学生是否提高了他们在评估和处方辅助技术以访问计算机方面的能力和知识。能力和学习成果的选择有助于确定和嵌入与计算机访问相关的辅助技术的专业知识和专业技能。
