Suomessa sosiaali-, terveys- ja kuntoutusalan opinnot toteutuvat pääasiassa ammattikorkeakouluissa ja koulutus on laajaa. Ammattikorkeakoulu-uudistuksen yhteydessä kuntoutusalojen osaamisen ja niiden vahvistaminen tulevaisuudessa todettiin tärkeäksi. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli ymmärtää mitä on ammattikorkeakouluissa opiskeltavien kuntoutusalojen yhteinen osaaminen, mikä ilmenee opetussuunnitelmissa ja näiden alojen ammattilaisten kokemuksissa. Tutkimuskysymykset olivat: Mitä on kuntoutuksen yhteinen osaaminen ammattikorkeakoulujen kirjallisissa opetussuunnitelmissa? Millaisia merkityksiä kuntoutuksen yhteisestä osaamisesta on kuntoutuksen alan opiskelijoilla ja ammattilaisilla? Tutkimust…
