10 RESEARCH QUESTIONS How do OT-students experience working with the catalogue for reflexion? How do they evaluate its practicability? How do they evaluate their own learning process? INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 10

11 METHODS sample: OT-students in their 2nd/ 3rd year of training practical work during research period specific knowledge about cultural diversity and use of the Catalogue for Reflexion INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 11

12 METHODS Mixed-Methods-Approach qualitative data collection guided interviews (3) exploration key phrase method quantitative data collection online questionnaire (40) examine generalisability statistical methods outcome INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 12

13 OUTCOMES the topic is relevant to them ( see also R a smussen et a l., ; M u r d en et al., ) INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 13

14 RESEARCH QUESTIONS How do OT-students experience working with the catalogue for reflexion? How do they evaluate its practicability? How do they evaluate their own learning process? INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 14

15 OUTCOME: PRACTICABILITY freedom in use: positive limitation: missing previous knowledge: If we would have worked with it in school before, of course using the Catalogue would be easier for us now. request: reduction of time exposure: It really takes time! less questions would increase practicability INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 15

16 RESEARCH QUESTIONS How do OT-students experience working with the catalogue for reflexion? How do they evaluate its practicability? How do they evaluate their own learning process? INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 16

17 OUTCOME: LEARNING PROCESS impulse for reflexion, e.g differences/ similarities of cultural influence own culture own behaviour impulse to become active, e.g. ask clients research INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 17

18 OUTCOME: LEARNING PROCESS awareness about cultural diversity increased I guess I gained a bit of awareness especially when working with clients with immigrant background. I have just become a bit more attentive. INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 18

19 OUTCOME: LEARNING PROCESS subjective initiation of learning process at various levels: affective behavioral cognitive Well, I think that working with the Catalogue inspires. INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 19

20 RESEARCH QUESTIONS How do OT-students experience working with the catalogue for reflexion? How do they evaluate its practicability? How do they evaluate their own learning process? INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 20

21 CONCLUSION need for research: repitition of research with bigger sample (more participants) measure learn process collect data about target group of OT intercultural learning for OT-students: implementation of topic into training: useful use of Catalogue for Reflexion: recommendable INTERCULTURAL LEARNING - Silke Voelz, OT B.Sc., Germany 21
