Promoting Person-Centered Measurement Using Keyform Maps within an Occupational Therapy Curriculum
Cynthia L. Sears; Brad E. Egan
Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v29 2023
Person-centered approaches to measurement are needed to more fully reach the goals of person-centered practice. Keyform maps, derived from Rasch analysis and principles of person-centered measurement, are thought to be an important tool for translating person-centered measurement into clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of keyform map use in a variety of learning activities embedded across multiple courses in an entry-level occupational therapy curriculum. This paper includes a description of 3 keyform map learning activities and corresponding results. The effects of keyform maps as a signature instructional strategy within entry-level occupational therapy education and implications for future studies are also discussed.
