Comparison of Peer Role-Playing-Based Simulation With Case-Based Learning in Physical Therapy Education
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Clinical Reasoning, Simulation Based Learning, Student Education
In brief
This study primarily aims to evaluate the impact of a 12-week peer role-play simulation model on the professional development of undergraduate physiotherapy students. Unlike traditional teacher-led case discussions, this study explores the effect of active participation in clinical scenarios, in which students alternate between the roles of 'clinician' and 'patient', on their academic achievement, self-efficacy and perceived clinical readiness. Specifically, the study aims to determine whether this interactive, low-cost pedagogical approach is a superior alternative to conventional lecture-based methods for preparing students for real-world clinical environments, particularly in high-enrolment academic settings.
