Abstract
Background: Teachers are a large population of occupational voice users and report a high incidence of voice problems (Martin, 2020). Preventative voice care programs (PVCP) for teachers have been designed and implemented to reduce vocal symptoms and change unhealthy vocal habits (Duffy & Hazlett, 2004; Ilomäki et al., 2008). Despite the effectiveness of current PVCP programs, accessibility and adherence to program recommendations is an ongoing problem (Bovo et al., 2007; Chan, 1994; Pasa et al., 2007). Current PVCP align closely with pedagogical models of learning (Van Stan et al., 2015) where the dissemination of learning materials is passively received by a learner. Andragogy and heutagogy, two adult learning theories, suggest collaboration, co-design and acknowledgement of learner's past experiences could positively impact the learning experience and increase adherence to PVCP (Knowles, 1977). Similarly, greater use of telepractice in the delivery of PVCP has potential to address accessibility and provide options for those in remote locations (Grillo, 2017; Grillo, 2021; Karatayli Ozgursoy et al., 2022). An understanding of how current programs are designed and implemented is needed to identify the strengths, limitations and areas for improvement. Therefore, the aim of this evidence review is to detail how current programs are designed and implemented with consideration of co-design and the learning theory continuum.
Method: A scoping review was undertaken using the JBI framework. The search was conducted using Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, Emcare, Web of Science, PsycInfo and grey literature. Two reviewers independently screened the articles and a third reviewer helped to resolve conflicts.
Results: 1629 sources were identified for the first stage of screening. 63 reached the full-text screening stage. 43 met the criteria for data extraction. Key areas for extraction included Study demographics, Design, Implementation and Learning Theories. The data will be tabulated and the emergent themes will be collated and reported.
