We conducted a scoping review of clinical reasoning learning in occupational therapy to organize current research and identify knowledge gaps. As a result, 30 articles were selected: eight experimental/intervention studies and twenty-two descriptive/observational studies. The learning strategies were fieldwork, case-based learning, and service learning. The learning outcomes were both qualitative and quantitative. We identified a knowledge gap in clinical reasoning that requires empirical research in three areas: capturing multifaceted learning outcomes, examining case-based learning, and international comparative studies that focus on instructors and environmental factors.
