Zusammenfassung:The profession of occupational therapy faces the challenge of introducing research as an occupation to undergraduate students. Occupational therapists value occupation, the influence of the environment and the role of culture within a specific environment. Therefore, these aspects should be considered not only when working with clients but also when educating students. A process for promoting an appreciation for research-related activities (PARRA) is introduced and scrutinised for its ability to promote a research culture. The components of this process suggest engagement in research-related activities that would influence students' occupational identities and enable transformation towards a lifelong engagement in research.
