Motivation to Commence University Studies and Satisfaction with Studying Physiotherapy Among Master's Degree Students of Polish University-level Schools of Different Educational Profiles
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2012, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyse factors which motivate students to commence university studies as well as to analyse the level of satisfaction with studying among a group of Master's degree students in their final semester. 1942 second year Master's degree students. Voluntary and anonymous questionnaire studies. The approval of the Ethical Review Board of WUM was not necessary. The questionnaire was developed by the authors and comprised 74 questions. STATISTICA 10.0 (license WUM), tests: Chi-square, Kruskall-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U (p<0.05). The students declared the level of satisfaction with studying at PM: 3.44, PWF: 3.54 and IP: 3.52 (H=17.167; p<.000). A half of the study group would choose a Physiotherapy course again, 30% would choose the same university. 36% got acquainted with the curriculum of a Master's degree course (p=NS). 56% reported that the curriculum content concerning orthopaedics was repeated most often, manual therapy and massage was repeated least often (34%). The largest proportion of the students declared that a Master's degree course improved their skills. 1. The modification of curricula seems to be necessary. It should consists in prolongation of the duration of a Bachelor's degree course and in putting a greater emphasis on a strictly occupational training and more efficient use of hours devoted to the work with patients. 2. The modification may be performed with the use of the curricula which are consistent with the guidelines of European and National Qualification Frameworks. The emphasis there is put mainly on outcomes of education and e-learning. 3. The assessment of the level of satisfaction with learning at a Master's degree Physiotherapy course among students who had changed the educational profile of a university, as well as a detailed analysis of the curricula of a Master's degree course seem to be important in order to extend the study.
