Feedback from Physiotherapy And Occupational Therapy Undergraduate Students On Teaching – Learning And Evaluation Methodology In Pharmacology
Journal Title: National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: “Students’ Feedback” is an important tool to evaluate the teaching- learning and evaluation methodologies. It can identify strengths and weaknesses which can be used to strengthen methodologies. Objective: 1.To develop a tool to obtain feedback from Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy undergraduate students. 2. To identify strengths and weaknesses in the current teaching-learning and evaluation methodology in pharmacology using feedback from Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy undergraduate students. Materials and methods: Prevalidated Questionnaire consisting of questions pertaining to teaching-learning and evaluation methodology was designed. Students of 2nd and 3rd year Bachelor of Physiotherapy (B. P. Th.) and students of 2nd year Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (B. O. Th.) were requested to fill the questionnaire. The questionnaires were analyzed. Results: Students were satisfied with the current teaching-learning methodologies except they showed preference to introduce case studies and group discussions. According to them, power point presentation with chalk and board was the most effective A-V aid. Students opined that Chemotherapy and ANS should be covered in more detail. All the students felt that the questions with model answers asked in formative evaluations should be discussed with them. Conclusion: Current teaching learning and evaluation methodology could be strengthened by inclusion of case studies and group discussions and discussion of model answers with students post examinations.
