The purpose of this study was to investigate the qualitative and quantitative differences in productivity among occupational therapists with various educational backgrounds. Comparative analyses pertained to the respondents' demographic data, to their productivity in the development and dissemination of knowledge, to their positions, and to their contributions to the profession. Four advanced education groups were also described in terms of their educational programs. The results of this study indicated that the most significant relationship between the type of education of occupational therapists and their productivity is found in the doctoral group. Although it was determined that time (years of experience) could account for some of the differences between the groups, no significant differences were found between the baccalaureate and entry level master's groups. Significant differences were identified between the entry level and postprofessional master's groups in course work and perceived benefits of education.
本研究的目的是调查不同教育背景的职业治疗师在生产力方面的质与量的差异。比较分析涉及受访者的人口统计学数据、他们在知识发展与传播方面的生产力、他们的职位以及他们对该专业的贡献。还根据四个高等教育群体的教育项目进行了描述。本研究结果表明，职业治疗师的教育类型与其生产力之间最显著的关系存在于博士群体中。尽管确定时间（工作年限）可以解释部分群体间的差异，但在学士学位群体和入门级硕士群体之间未发现显著差异。在课程作业以及教育带来的感知益处方面，入门级硕士群体和专业后硕士群体之间存在显著差异。
