1. The Physical Therapist as Educator Chapter 7 November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 1

2. Education is the process of imparting information or skills and instructing by precept, example, and experience so that individuals acquire knowledge, master skills, or develop competence. November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 2 Education

3. In addition to instructing patients/clients as an element of intervention, physical therapists may engage in education activities such as planning and conducting academic education, clinical education, and continuing education programs; planning and conducting educational programs for local, state, and federal agencies; planning and conducting programs for the public to increase awareness of issues in which physical therapists have expertise.

6. The cardinal rule of a good presentation is this—Get up, say what you have to say, and sit down . Determine the single purpose of your presentation. Make sure you know why you are making the presentation: to sell, to teach, to motivate, or to persuade. Always plan what you are going to say. Each visual should support the purpose of the presentation Avoid complex data and excessive information. Less information means less distraction.

7. As a general guideline, use five slides in a 10-minute presentation. Use graphics, to portray concepts. Hand out more material than you say and say more than you show. Keep handouts simple and consistent Make your point without overwhelming the audience. A simple, clear presentation made in a quiet, confident, and friendly manner results in greater retention of the material.

8. Pay attention to the background colors you use in your presentation materials because they can affect the mood of the audience. Blue signifies a conservative, credible approach to information. It has a calming effect and elicits feelings of trust and safety. White or yellow text on a blue background is the easiest to read. Green stimulates audience interaction and is best for training and educational presentations. It suggests immovable, analytical, precise, opinionated. Red is stimulating. It increases the heart rate and audience enthusiasm and therefore is the color of choice to persuade or motivate to act.

9. Black evokes a sense that the audience has no choice; it should be used for information that cannot be changed (e.g., financial reports). Gray suggests a lack of commitment (not clear constant) to the content. Yellow evokes a sense of optimism but is difficult to use with most text colors. Brown leads to audience passivity; it suggests that the content is solid and permanent. Violet implies a magical or mystical quality of the content; it should be used when the material is meant to be entertaining November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 9 TIPS FOR GIVING A GOOD PRESENTATION (cont.)

10. Learning behaviors are classified into three domains: The cognitive domain The psychomotor domain The affective domain November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 10 Learning behaviors

11. Recall and use of information Analysis of information is a much higher learning objective than recall of knowledge. November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 11 The cognitive domain

12. Physical and manipulative skills If Psychomotor goals are sought, laboratory practice is indicated, and a practical examination would be the test of choice. November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 12 The psychomotor domain

13. Interest, attitudes, and values If with affective goals, discussion groups and a report may be indicated November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 13 The affective domain

14. In devising a teaching plan should begin with the purpose or expected outcome (or outcomes) of the learning unit. The outcomes should be classified according to the objectives in specific terminal behaviors . The instructional method and the evaluation tool most appropriate for each domain must be selected November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 14 Teaching Plan

15. Teachers are also responsible for understanding ethical and legal issues. Discrimination, privacy, dismissal policies, and academic freedom are among the issues. The ethical obligations of PTs involved in teaching or continuing education are specifically addressed. PTs providing continuing education courses should be competent in the content and should give accurate information about the course in course materials. Those attending continuing education courses are obligated to evaluate the quality of the information before putting it to use: “A physical therapist shall evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of information and techniques presented in continuing education programs before integrating them into his/her practice” November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 15 ETHICAL AND LEGAL ISSUES IN PHYSICAL THERAPY EDUCATION

16. Maintaining competence requires commitment to a lifelong process of education and skill development to meet the ever-changing needs of health care. Mandatory continuing education has been the tool most commonly used to ensure that licensed PTs maintain competence. It is universally acknowledged that attendance at courses does not necessarily translate into competence. November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 16 Continuing Competence

17. Programs that educate future professionals seemingly would be free of cheating and violations of academic integrity!!!! Technology has created additional challenges to academic integrity by making materials easier to copy. Students have been caught sending messages by cell phone during practical examinations. Because self-regulation is expected of professionals, serious violations of academic integrity may be considered an indication that a student lacks the required moral qualities and decision-making capability. November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 17 Academic Integrity

18. Just as patients are vulnerable to the PT’s knowledge and status, students are vulnerable to the status and power of faculty members. Students may be subjected to unfair grading, sexual harassment, or discrimination. November 13, 2018 A.B([email protected]) 18 Vulnerability of Students

19. Teaching roles for PTs range from one-on-one patient/client management to fulltime teaching with little or no patient care. The PT educator may have an informal preparation or may have completed graduate studies in education. The transition from clinician to full-time educator involves career planning, because academic positions require advanced degrees. PTs who want to pursue professional development by obtaining an academic position should consider the following factors: Self-confidence as an expert in Physical Therapy Level of comfort with public speaking Commitment to research and service as well as teaching Importance of effective teaching and learning strategies The complicated milieu of higher education and the responsibility inherent in the preparation of licensed professionals The complexity of the educator’s role at all these levels is reflected in the legal and ethical challenges that must be met.
