Chiropractic lecturer qualities: The student perspective.
The Journal of Chiropractic Education
|January 21, 2022
Summary
Chiropractic students highly value lecturers for course enjoyment and success. Key qualities include strong communication, subject mastery, and clinical activity, alongside curriculum evaluation skills.
Area of Science:
- Chiropractic education
- Higher education pedagogy
Background:
- Chiropractic lecturers bridge academic learning and clinical application.
- High-quality teaching is crucial for student success and a positive learning environment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate chiropractic students' perceptions of lecturer qualities.
- To assess the impact of these qualities on the overall preregistration course experience in the UK.
Main Methods:
- An online mixed-methods questionnaire was administered to UK chiropractic students.
- Quantitative data (Likert scale) and qualitative data (open-ended questions) were analyzed.
- Proportions, means, modes, medians, and thematic analysis were employed.
Main Results:
- 195 students completed the survey, rating lecturer qualities and their impact.
- High-quality information delivery, curriculum evaluation, communication, and subject command were highly valued.
- Lecturers significantly influenced course enjoyment (mean=4.88) and student success (mean=4.54).
- Students preferred clinically active lecturers (84%) over research active ones (25%).
Conclusions:
- UK chiropractic students recognize the vital role of lecturers in their education.
- Effective lecturers possess strong communication, subject expertise, and contribute to curriculum development.
- Clinically active lecturers are perceived as beneficial for student development and overall learning outcomes.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

01:25Elements Crucial for Effective Psychotherapy
146
Research has highlighted several critical factors that influence the effectiveness of psychotherapy, such as the therapeutic alliance, the therapist, and the client.
The Therapeutic Alliance
The therapeutic alliance refers to the relationship between the therapist and the client. The alliance strengthens when the therapist and the client engage in a nurturing, supportive, trusting, empathetic, and respectful relationship, improving therapeutic outcomes. Therapists must monitor this relationship...

01:11Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia
869
Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

01:23Spinal Nerves: Anatomy
4.8K
Spinal nerves are pivotal conduits in the nervous system, bridging the central nervous system (CNS) with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). These nerves enable a complex communication network between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, facilitating sensory input, motor output, and autonomic functions.
There are 31 bilateral pairs of spinal nerves, each emerging from the spinal cord through the intervertebral foramina—openings between adjacent vertebrae. These nerves are...

01:37Social Loafing

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...
