“…These positive perceptions about their learning experiences support future directions to combine training modes, including classroom activities and online resources to complement and optimize students’ learning of practical skills [ 41 ]. At the teacher level, this model contributes an asynchronous innovative alternative to those published in the literature, for example online discussion of clinical cases [ 18 ], use of video podcasting to review practical exams and to encourage the repetitive practice of skills [ 43 ], and evaluation based on videos, video conferencing and virtual case-based instruction [ 29 ].…”

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on face-to-face teaching and learning and the clinical practice of physiotherapy students globally. Accordingly alternative, innovative approaches are needed [ 3 , 17 , 18 ]. Rooted in the active learning theory [ 19 ], the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a remote, asynchronous training program and feedback on development of practical skills (neurodynamic testing procedures) in undergraduate physiotherapy students.…”

Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face teaching and learning of physiotherapy practical skills was limited. Asynchronous, remote training has been effective in development of clinical skills in some health professions. This study aimed to determine the effect of remote, asynchronous training and feedback on development of neurodynamic skills in physiotherapy students. Methods Longitudinal repeated measurements study, across four training sessions. Participants engaged in a remote training program for development of upper limb neurodynamic techniques. In this sequential training, participants viewed the online tutorial, practiced independently, and uploaded a video of their performance for formative assessment and feedback from a trained instructor via a checklist and rubric. Results Intra-subject analyses of 60 third-year physiotherapy students showed that the target standard of performance, with no further significant change in scores, was attained following session 2 for the checklist and session 3 for the rubric. This shows that two sessions are required to learn the procedures, and three sessions yield further improvements in performance quality. Conclusion The remote, asynchronous training and feedback model proved to be an effective strategy for students’ development of neurodynamic testing skills and forms a viable alternative to in-person training. This study contributes to the future of acquiring physiotherapy clinical competencies when distance or hybrid practice is required.

“…Si bien la enseñanza virtual no es algo nuevo dentro de la educación si lo es para estudiantes de salud más aun para el área de terapia física, (González, M., González, D., Rojas, J., & Rodarte, M., 2021) como consecuencia tiene altas repercusiones en varios ejes como el debilitamiento de competencias, habilidades y destrezas profesionales como también involucra cambios sobre el estado físico, psicológico y emocional las cuales se alteran en el estudiante y condicionan su aprendizaje. (Dost, S., Hossain, A., Shehab, M., Abdelwahed, A., & Al-Nusair, L. 2020) El estudiante de terapia física al pertenecer al sistema de educación en salud también vio interrumpidas sus actividades dentro del recinto universitario y clínico a causa de la pandemia, (Samelli, A. et al 2020) lo que derivó en instaurar un modelo en línea en todos sus niveles educativos, lamentablemente Ecuador no ha diseñado un modelo educativo exclusivo para estudiantes de terapia física que permita suplir la metodología presencial mucho menos que cubra las horas de prácticas pre profesionales como si lo ha hecho carreras como medicina, enfermería psicología y laboratorio clínico, (Ponce, A., Figueroa, F., Moreira, J., & Plúa, J. 2020) incluso permitiendo a estudiantes de últimos niveles ser parte de apoyo al sistema de salud.…”

Introducción: La aparición del nuevo virus del SARS-CoV-2 condicionó el uso de plataformas digitales en educación en salud, sin embargo, puede repercutir sobre el aprendizaje más aún si se suplen horas clínicas o de prácticas pre profesionales. El objetivo del presente documento es detallar la percepción que tiene el alumnado de terapia física frente a la enseñanza a través de plataformas digitales. Métodos: Se elaboró un cuestionario corto de 8 items con un modelo de respuesta tipo Likert. Posterior a medir la confiabilidad del instrumento. Resultados: Se encuestaron 187 estudiantes de terapia física de tres universidades de Ecuador, existe heterogeneidad en todos los resultados las mejores puntuaciones (de 4 a 5) fueron para ámbitos como las herramientas utilizadas, ambiente, satisfacción y la capacidad docente. Conclusión: La percepción de satisfacción del estudiante con los nuevos modelos de educación condiciona de gran medida el éxito o fracaso de un programa académico.

“…Internet-based projects; online clinical case studies; and online meetings between lecturers, supervisors, and students on pandemic-related topics have been part of the structured online education. Clinical internship studies were postponed until the epidemic was brought under control and were carried out when the number of COVID-19 cases began to decrease (Samelli et al, 2020).…”

Introduction The aim of this study is to examine the factors affecting the e-learning process in occupational therapy education in the COVID-19 period. Method In the study, a form containing personal information and questions about the e-learning process, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were applied to 253 occupational therapy students via the Google form. Principal component analysis was used to evaluate the data. Results A large number of questionnaires were applied in the study, and principal component analysis, an advanced statistical method that enables the interpretation of this type of big data more effectively, was used. 13 components were determined, and a variance of 88% was explained. The main components were listed as students’ self-perception about the education system, learning methods, home and university environment, information technologies, physical activity level, and academic performance/participation. Conclusion We hope that the results of our study will provide a perspective on what innovations can be made for quality improvement in occupational therapy education. It would be beneficial to increase student feedback by applying similar studies in other education programs.
