This study explored an extended problem-based learning (PBL) project in an interdisciplinary assistive technology course. Results show PBL positively impacted students' clinical reasoning and teamwork skills in addressing complex client needs.

Area of Science:

  • Health Sciences
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Physical Therapy
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • Interdisciplinary education is crucial for healthcare professionals.
  • Assistive technology (AT) requires a collaborative approach to address complex client needs.
  • Problem-based learning (PBL) can enhance clinical reasoning and teamwork in healthcare education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of an extended PBL project in an interdisciplinary assistive technology course.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of this PBL project on students' skills and experiences.
  • To provide insights into using PBL for AT education.

Main Methods:

  • An extended problem-based learning project was integrated into an interdisciplinary assistive technology course.
