This study proposes the Field Oriented Capacity Upgrade Program, an educational model for improving clinical practice of occupational therapy. The effectiveness of the self-directed learning ability and problem solving ability of students was compared by comparing the proposed educational model with the traditional teaching method. The research method was divided into the experimental group who participated in the model education and the control group who participated in the lecture class, and conducted similar experimental studies using the nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. In addition, the study participants conducted a preliminary and follow-up survey of a total of 135 students who participated in the education over three semesters. As a result of training using the proposed learning method, the experimental group improved self-directed learning ability and problem solving ability by 22% and 18%, respectively, compared to the control group. This study developed and proposed a new teaching-learning method to improve clinical practice of occupational therapy, and it is meaningful as a basic data of teaching-learning method to improve the ability required in various jobs.

Objective : This study assessed ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence system based on a large language model, for its ability to pass the National Korean Occupational Therapy Licensure Examination (NKOTLE). Methods : Using NKOTLE questions from 2018 to 2022, provided by the Korea Health and Medical Personnel Examination Institute, this study employed English prompts to determine the accuracy of ChatGPT in providing correct answers. Two researchers independently conducted the entire process, and the average accuracy of both researchers was used to determine whether ChatGPT passed over the 5-year period. The degree of agreement between ChatGPT answers of the two researchers was assessed. Results : ChatGPT passed the 2020 examination but failed to pass the other 4 years' examination. Specifically, its accuracy in questions related to medical regulations ranged from 25% to 57%, whereas its accuracy in other questions exceeded 60%. ChatGPT exhibited a strong agreement between researchers, except for medical regulation questions, and this agreement was significantly correlated with accuracy. Conclusion : There are still limitations to the application of ChatGPT to answer questions influenced by language or culture. Future studies should explore its potential as an educational tool for students majoring in occupational therapy through optimized prompts and continuous learning from the data.
