      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 ...

      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 

      Mørk, Gry; Stigen, Linda; Gramstad, Astrid; Magne, Trine A; Carstensen, Tove; Bonsaksen, Tore (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 

      Mygland, Jenny Solveig; Mørk, Gry; Stigen, Linda; Gramstad, Astrid; Magne, Trine A; Bonsaksen, Tore (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 ...
    • Student characteristics associated with dominant approaches to studying: Comparing a national and an international sample

      <p><i>Background - </i>Productive approaches to studying (deep and strategic learning) are associated with a variety of favourable academic outcomes, and may be of particular importance for students in multifaceted and complex disciplines such as occupational therapy. <p><i>Aim - </i>To explore associations between student characteristics and their dominant approaches to studying in two samples of ...
    • Student perceptions of the learning environment in Norwegian occupational therapy education programs 

      Thordardottir, Björg; Stigen, Linda; Magne, Trine A; Johnson, Susanne Grødem; Gramstad, Astrid; Gran, Adrian Wetlesen; Åsli, Lene Angel; Mørk, Gry; Bonsaksen, Tore (Preprint; Manuskript, 2020-10-12)
      Background - To support students’ motivation towards constructive and persistent study efforts, their learning environment needs attention.<p> <p>Aim - To develop knowledge about occupational therapy students’ perceptions of the learning environment and assess whether identified differences between education programs were stable or changed across the 3 years of study.<p> <p>Methods - Norwegian ...
