  This study examined if the implementation of the adult learning method was appropriate in preparing OT students for clinical reasoning prior to the start of their clinical rotations. This theory assumes that adults are self-directed learners and that learning best occurs when experiences are goal-based and relevant. The researchers of this study completed their study in a qualitative and quantitative manner to confirm results. The researchers performed surveys with 74 second year OT students across a two year period. This survey allowed for students to also share subjective comments on their experiences and how the adult learning theory prepared them for such an experience. The results of the study that students in both cohorts exhibited increased comfort with such experiences after the completion of the adult learning course. Overall, I feel that this confirmed my beliefs concerning the adult learning method. As soon-to-be clinicians, we must exhibit many of the tendencies found in the adult learning model when arriving at or forming clinical thoughts. Without such skills, we will most likely not be effective clinicians.
