Qualitative research
is involves words as the data source. Answers questions of social systems such as factors in one’s natural environment. Often uses surveys, focus groups. Not well structured.
4 stages of learning
Acquisition, Maintenance, Fluency, Generalization
Acquisition
Learning to perform the basic requirements of a skill. Ex. teach a client how to use a clinic phone
Maintenance
routine use of the skill in familiar, stable conditions.
Ex. Make a call every day in OT tx session
Fluency
Improving accuracy, quality and speed. Decreased help from OT over time
Generalization
