Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine differences in fundamental knowledge and clinical skill competency as perceived by occupational therapy assistant students at Radford University Carilion (RUC) versus those assessed by fieldwork educators during level II fieldwork. Two theories were used to guide this study: metacognition and The Novice to Expert Model. Retrospective data sets from the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy’s COTA (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant) Entry-Level Self-Assessment Tool and the American Occupational Therapy’s Fieldwork Performance Evaluation were analyzed using a repeated measures analysis of variance. Results of this study will be used to assist the RUC occupational therapy assistant (OTA) program director and faculty in identifying areas of instruction amenable to modification for improved instruction and student performance.
