Feedback on students' clinical reasoning skills during fieldwork education - 0 views
-
The aim of this study was to determine if occupational therapy level 2 students clinical reasoning skills would be impacted at all based upon the level of feedback given from their fieldwork supervisor. Data was collected via focus groups with students, and looked at the type of feedback students received about their clinical reasoning, and how they experienced their feedback. The study compared type of feedback with final exam grades, end of term grades, and academic performance to draw conclusions. Specifically, feedback can be either confirmation and/or corrective, and corrective feedback could be with or without suggestions on how to improve. Overall, the study found that clinical reasoning skills seem to improve through corrective feedback if accompanied by suggestions on how to improve, and the students who did better on their exams received corrective feedback about their clinical reasoning skills. Thus, confirmative feedback alone may not be the best for improving students' clinical reasoning skills.

Case Simulations to Discover Clinical Reasoning Skills in Occupational Therapy Students - 0 views
-
This study was conducted in order to grasp a better understanding of occupational therapy students' level of clinical reasoning skills at varying stages of learning during the course of their schooling. Based on study results, all of the students in their first year, 70% of students in their second year, and 20% of students in their third year demonstrated pre-reflective thinking. Furthermore, no first or second year students and only 20% of third year students were able to function at a level of reflective thinking. This study provides great insight for clinical instructors, allowing instructors to be more attuned to their students learning needs and better equipping them to develop clinical reasoning skills necessary in order to provide patient-centered care. Clinical instructors who are working with individuals in the pre-reflective thinking stage should encourage their students to voice their own opinions and justify their rationale, as well as consider others opinions, and should be given feedback in order to improve their confidence and encourage further development of clinical reasoning skills.
