Abstract

This project aims to produce two video and workbook packages to enhance student learning and skill acquisition within two core areas of the B.Sc. (Hons,) Physiotherapy degree. Assessments for both of these modules is complex and require integration of reasoning and handling skills. The projection of this support material will supplement existing teaching and allow students to enhance their skills working in isolation or in small groups.

It is intended that students will benefit from improved preparation for assessment and will demonstrate greater problem solving and handling skills within the clinical setting.

Outcome measures for the use of such material in teaching programmes are scarce within the literature. Using the highlighted monitoring and evaluation processes it is planned to publish these findings and inform current practice on the use of such materials.
