    Area of Science:

    • Health Professions Education
    • Physical Therapy Practice
    • Clinical Education

    Background:

    • Teaching is an integral component of physical therapy practice.
    • The need for effective educators in physical therapy is widely acknowledged.
    • Existing curricula may not fully address the educational skill development required for clinicians.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess physical therapists' attitudes toward teaching as a skill.
    • To determine the extent of their involvement in teaching activities.
    • To evaluate the adequacy of preparation for teaching within physical therapy educational programs.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire survey was administered to a random sample of 585 physical therapists and administrators of accredited educational programs.

  • Data were collected on attitudes, involvement, and preparation related to teaching skills.
  • Response rates were 63% for physical therapists and 93% for administrators.

    • Main Results:

    • 99% of physical therapists considered teaching an important practice skill, but only 34% received formal instruction.
    • 98% taught patients, yet only 30% taught students in clinical settings.
    • Administrators reported 65% of programs required educational theory training; however, agreement on essential teaching skills was limited.

    Conclusions:

    • Physical therapists highly value teaching, but educational preparation is inconsistent across programs.
    • There is a gap between the perceived importance of teaching skills and the formal training received by clinicians.
    • Further development and standardization of educational components within physical therapy curricula are warranted.
