Although previous research suggests that the cultural and educational context may influence approaches to studying, few studies have investigated differences in study approaches across education programs. The aim of this study was to examine whether approaches to studying differed among occupational therapy students ... -
Approaches to studying: changes during a three-year undergraduate study program
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-21)Whether higher education students’ approaches to studying are amenable to change, is disputed. In this study, Norwegian occupational therapy students’ (n = 263) approaches to studying were assessed annually across the three-year course, with the aim of exploring changes during the undergraduate study program. Sociodemographic information and the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students ... -
Associations Between Learning Environment and Study Satisfaction Across Time: Two Cross-Sectional Analyses of Occupational Therapy Students
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04)There is increasing attention toward students’ satisfaction and how they perceive the quality of the program they attend. This study examined stability and change across time with regard to the relationships between learning environment factors and occupational therapy students’ satisfaction with the program. In the two consecutive cross-sectional analyses performed in this study, 163 second-year ... -

Associations between occupational therapy students’ academic performance and their study approaches and perceptions of the learning environment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-18)Background - Relationships between students’ academic performance and their employed study approaches have been studied extensively. However, research using study approaches and learning environment factors as concurrent predictors of academic performance is sparse. There is a need to disentangle the potentially interrelated influences of individual and contextual factors on students’ academic ... -
Occupational therapy students’ concepts of learning: cross-sectional and longitudinal associations with deep, strategic, and surface study strategies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-12)This study aimed to gain knowledge about the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between learning concepts and approaches to studying among occupational therapy students. A repeated cross-sectional design was combined with a longitudinal study design. Self-report questionnaires assessed sociodemographic variables, learning concepts, and approaches to studying (deep/strategic/surface). ... -
Occupational therapy students’ preferences for teaching and course design across a three-year undergraduate education program
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-04)Purpose - Understanding students’ preferences for teaching and course design is important for educators in higher education when planning courses and teaching activities. The purpose of this study was to explore changes in occupational therapy students’ preferences for teaching and courses across the three-year study program. <p> <p>Design/methodology/approach - A total of 263 students participated ... -
Perceptions of assessment in Norwegian occupational therapy students
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)In addition to securing minimum standards of learning among students, assessment is increasingly used as a tool to improve students’ learning. Assessment quality is measured as part of the Course Experience Questionnaire; however, the original ‘appropriate assessment’ scale has demonstrated ambiguous psychometric properties. The current study aimed to gain knowledge about occupational therapy students’ ... -
Perceptions of the academic learning environment among occupational therapy students – changes across a three-year undergraduate study program
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-25)Introduction: Although the learning environment influences students’ motivation, learning outcomes, and satisfaction with the study program, less is known about how these factors change as the students’ progress through the study program.<p> <p>Aim: The aim of this study was to examine changes in occupational therapy students’ perceptions of the academic learning environment during their three-year ... -
Predictors of students’ participation in a learning environment survey with annual follow-ups
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-25)Background - Longitudinal research is one effective way to gauge changes in a student cohort over time, however attrition in these studies is typically high, which can result in study bias. This study explored learning environment factors, approaches to studying, and academic performance as predictors of occupational therapy students’ consistent participation in data collection conducted over three ... -
Psychometric Properties and Associations Between Subscales of a Study Approach Measure
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-06-14)The purpose of this study was to (i) confirm the factor structure of the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) in the current sample of undergraduate occupational therapy students and (ii) explore the pattern of associations between the 13 ASSIST subscales. Occupational therapy students (<i>n</i> = 171) across Norway completed the ASSIST. A three‐factor structure was confirmed. ... -
Stable and unstable associations between learning environment factors and study approaches: two consecutive cross-sectional analyses of Norwegian occupational therapy students
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-24)Relationships between learning environment variables and students’ approaches to studying have been investigated from many points of view over the last decades. However, few studies have explored whether such relationships are stable over time. In the two consecutive cross-sectional analyses performed in this study, Norwegian occupational therapy students’ perceptions of their learning environment ... -
Stable or unstable associations between learning environment factors, study approaches and exam grades: cross-sectional analyses across two consecutive program years
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-31)Studies into the relationships between learning environment perceptions, approaches to studying, and academic outcomes have largely followed cross-sectional designs. As a result, knowledge is sparse with regards to whether, or to what degree, the established associations are consistent across years of study. This study aimed to (i) examine associations between occupational therapy students’ academic ... -
