Title: | Clinical utility of the four-quadrant model of facilitated learning: Perspectives of experienced occupational therapists | Authors: | Rodger, S. Greber, C. Ziviani, J. |
Issue Date: | 2011 | Source: | Jun 58, (3), 2011, p. 187-194 | Pages: | 187-194 | Journal: | Australian Occupational Therapy Journal | Abstract: | Background/aims: This study explored perspectives of experienced occupational therapists regarding teaching-learning approaches used during intervention. The aim was to ascertain the clinical utility of the Four-Quadrant Model of Facilitated Learning (4QM) (Greber, Ziviani, & Rodger, 2007a) by understanding how it might enhance clinical competency when applying teaching-learning modalities. Methods: Mixed methods were used to ascertain the perspectives of two groups of therapists with seven or more years experience in either adult (n = 8) or paediatric (n = 7) practice. A pre-discussion questionnaire was used to prime participants for an initial focus group centred on understanding how participants used teaching-learning within occupational therapy intervention. Following a brief description of the 4QM, a further session explored the perspectives of participants regarding the 4QM as a means of conceptualising and planning teaching-learning interventions. Results: Irrespective of practice area, therapists considered teaching-learning approaches core to their practice, without necessarily identifying a clear process to guide their implementation. Proficiency in teaching-learning was generally seen to be gained through trial and error. Participants identified potential clinical applications for the 4QM as a useful structure to support the application of teaching-learning interventions, speculating that it would be particularly useful for novice clinicians. Conclusions: Participants endorsed the 4QM as a useful integrating framework to support the development of professional competencies related to planning interventions that use a teaching-learning approach.Greber, Craig Ziviani, Jenny Rodger, Sylvia
