Experiences of academic staff in using threshold concepts within a reformed curriculum
Threshold concepts were used to underpin a major curriculum reform endeavour in occupational therapy. After rigorous interrogation of troublesome knowledge and ensuring that the emergent concepts conformed to the five characteristics of previously proposed threshold concepts, we identified five threshold concepts. Two years into the rollout of the new curricula, academics participated in two focus groups. Questions focused on staff members' persp…

Mealtimes and bedtimes: Windows to family routines and rituals
While a number of studies have explored occupation in families of children with disabilities, those of typically developing children have been relatively neglected. In this study, qualitative methodology was employed to understand the mealtime and bedtime routines and rituals of families of typically developing children (less than 6 years). Ten mothers participated in a 90-minute semi-structured interview. The findings contribute to occupational …
Physical Activity and the Occupations of Children: Perspectives of Parents and Children
There is concern that children's health is being compromised by a decline in physical activity occurring as a result of the changing nature of the occupations of childhood. This article reports the findings of in-depth interviews conducted with six children and their parents when the children were between 7 and 8 years and then again when they were between 9 and 10 years. This longitudinal perspective highlighted features associated with children…
I could do with a pair of wings’: Perspectives on physical activity, bodies and health from young Australian children
There is little research that reports children's perspectives on physical activity, bodies and health. This paper, drawn from a larger multi-method study on physical activity in the lives of seven- and eight-year-old Australian children, attempts to ‘give a voice’ to 13 children's views. Interviews focused on children's activity preferences and related decision making and motivations pertaining to these activities, as well as how they thought abo…
Physical activity as a dimension of family life for lower primary school children
While questions of children's engagement in physical activity are being widely debated, little is known about how physical activity is valued and managed within families. This paper reports on qualitative data from a multi-method study on lower primary aged children. The focus of the broader study was to determine the relationships between young children's physical activity patterns, skills, and recreational interests, and their families' locatio…
