This study introduces problem-solving classroom activities for first-year physical therapy students. It also examines student attitudes toward these innovative, simulated patient learning experiences.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Therapy Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Problem-Based Learning

Background:

  • Effective clinical reasoning is crucial for physical therapy practice.
  • Traditional curricula may not fully develop problem-solving skills.
  • Innovative teaching methods are needed to enhance student preparedness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe classroom activities designed to foster problem-solving skills in first-year physical therapy students.
  • To evaluate students' initial attitudes towards these problem-solving learning experiences.
  • To identify course design modifications over a three-year implementation period.

Main Methods:

  • Simulated patient scenarios presented via written, video, and role-playing formats.
  • Students engaged in defining problems, prioritizing clinical issues, goal setting, and treatment planning.

  • Completion of a problem-oriented patient-status note (subjective, objective, assessment, plan) was integrated.

    • Main Results:

    • The study details a structured approach to integrating problem-solving into the physical therapy curriculum.
    • Initial student attitudes towards the problem-solving activities were examined.
    • Challenges related to student acceptance and engagement were discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Classroom activities can effectively teach problem-solving skills to physical therapy students.
    • Understanding and addressing student attitudes is key to successful implementation.
    • Iterative course design improvements are essential for optimizing learning experiences.
