Abstract

Career training has been a widely studied challenge throughout history, in line with social and economic transformations worldwide. In this scenario, the formation of occupational therapists face the challenge to reflect on existing curricula, confronting the duality between technical rationality, scientific knowledge and the complexity of the current challenges that the profession confronts. In this article, I problematize the formation of occupational therapists through the self-study methodology, which seeks to investigate the reflexivity process of the practice itself. To do this, I use the reflective thought perspective, in the context of training of occupational therapists students and their immersion in the practical field. From thetrainer position, I analyze the key constraints that stress reflective thinking, practice and teaching methodologies implemented for the development of reflection in and on practice. Finally, from the model of Schön new epistemology (2010), I propose an integrated approach between what Smith (1991) and Korthagen (2010) proposed as a contribution to the teaching of profession.
