作業療法士を目指す学生の学習動機の変化—複線径路等至性アプローチによる分析

Changes in motivation for learning among occupational therapy students: An analysis using the Trajectory Equifinality Approach

要旨：作業療法士養成校にとって，学生の学習意欲を高め主体的な学習へ導くことは重要な課題である．本研究では，作業療法士を目指す学生が，主体的な学習へと学習意欲を変化させる過程について複線径路等至性アプローチを用い，変化の時期や内容を分析した．その結果，学習意欲の変化の時期は8つの区分に分かれ，早期からの学習意欲の向上には関係志向と自尊志向を利用した学習支援や早期体験型学習などで実用志向，充実志向を促すような学習の重要性が示唆された．

　It is important for occupational therapy training institutions to motivate students to learn and guide them towards independent learning. In this study, we analyzed the timing and content of changes in the process by which students aiming to become occupational therapists change their motivation to learn independently, using a double-tracked path and other optimal approaches. As a result, the period of change in motivation for learning was divided into eight categories, and in order to improve such motivation from an early stage, learning support using relationship-oriented and self-esteem-oriented and early experience-based learning should be promoted to be practical and fulfilling. The importance of learning is suggested.
