Full title: Using Blended Enquiry Based Learning to teach principles of service improvement in undergraduate occupational therapy education

Description:
This session details how an andragogical approach of Online Enquiry Based Leaning was used within final year undergraduate occupational therapy training to teach students the key principles of quality assurance, entrepreneurship, service improvement and business planning to facilitate development of a service improvement project.

OCCU373 Improving Occupational Service (2020/21) required students to reflect upon the unique contribution of occupational therapy to service provision and consider innovative approaches to service improvement; however, undergraduate health student placements normally focus on core competencies required for qualification and professional registration, with evaluation of service delivery and understanding of strategic planning not usually experienced at undergraduate level. Online Enquiry Based Leaning was used to scaffold learning using asynchronous & synchronous learning, task-based workshop, and group work to facilitate knowledge acquisition and skill development to think at a service level. Through three Online Enquiry Based Leaning cycles, students were set groupwork tasks based on a real case study that required them to research, collaborate and present back to their cohort; this allowed for students to develop skills in appraising and critiquing at an organisational level. Students were able to transfer this learning to a real case of their own choice and their study of a proposed improvement being summatively assessed.

Qualitative and quantitative data drawn from 2020/21 module evaluation, as well as achieved student grades, will be included to disseminate learning experiences from this cycle of the module.
