Abstract
Research coursework can be challenging for occupational therapy students, thus potentially compromising their engagement in learning. A student engagement framework was used to design and implement an innovative assignment called Researchers' Theater with a cohort of 38 first-semester occupational therapy students. At the beginning of each class, a small group of students led a creative activity to review topics from the preceding week. Student feedback survey results and instructors' observations suggest this framework contributed to students' affective, behavioral, and cognitive engagement. Findings also highlight the potential value of student-led, game-based learning for reinforcing course content.
