Occupational therapy students learn test administration effectively with instructor-designed note cards. This method is more time-efficient than students designing their own cards, yielding similar learning outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational therapy education
  • Educational psychology
  • Assessment administration

Background:

  • Occupational therapy students traditionally design note cards to simplify complex assessment administration.
  • This process requires significant study time, prompting an investigation into alternative methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy and efficiency of learning test administration using instructor-designed versus self-designed note cards for occupational therapy students.
  • To determine if instructor-designed cards impact learning outcomes and study time.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted with occupational therapy students divided into two groups: one using instructor-designed note cards and the other using self-designed cards.
  • Written tests and practical examinations were used to assess learning efficacy.

  • Total study time was recorded to measure efficiency.

    • Main Results:

    • Students using instructor-designed cards achieved comparable written and practical examination scores to those using self-designed cards.
    • The instructor-designed card group spent significantly less study time (p = .003), primarily due to eliminating card design.
    • Learning efficacy and efficiency were consistent across different learning styles (field-dependence/field-independence).

    Conclusions:

    • Instructor-designed note cards provide an equally effective learning experience for occupational therapy students compared to self-designed cards.
    • Utilizing instructor-designed cards significantly enhances learning efficiency by reducing study time.
    • This approach is beneficial regardless of students' individual learning styles.
