Abstract
This is an introduction of a course in occupational science for occupational therapy students in a bachelor's degree program. The purpose of this course is to understand occupations and occupational being, the tenets of occupational science. The course consisted of: what is occupation; knowing one's own occupations; explore occupations; form, function, and meaning; occupational analysis; and occupational photo. Teaching occupations and occupational being requires not only lectures of the knowledge but also a variety of experiential learning methods which includes reflecting on oneself, discussing in groups, and sharing (finding) with the class. Curriculum design in occupational therapy education should be based on the common core concept of "occupation and occupational being", and consideration should be given to the relationship between the core concept and contents of each course.
