Learning contracts and reflective diaries are educational tools that have been recently introduced to physiotherapy students from Malaysia during clinical education. It is unclear how students perceive the experience of using a learning contract and reflective diary. This study explores the learning pathways of the students after using a learning contract and a reflective diary for the first time in their clinical placement.
A total of 26 final-year physiotherapy students completed a learning contract and a reflective diary during clinical placements. Two researchers explored the data qualitatively by the thematic content analysis method using NVivo.
A total of four and six main learning themes were identified from the data of the students through a learning contract and reflective diary.
These learning themes reflected the views of the students about what they have considered to be important learning pathways during their clinical placements. They give valuable insights into the experiences and opinions of students during their clinical education process, which should be useful for enhancing teaching and learning methods in physiotherapy education.
学习契约和反思日记是最近在临床教育期间引入马来西亚物理治疗专业学生的教育工具。目前尚不清楚学生如何看待使用学习契约和反思日记的体验。本研究探讨了学生在临床实习中首次使用学习契约和反思日记后的学习途径。
共有26名物理治疗专业的最后一年学生在临床实习期间完成了一份学习契约和一本反思日记。两名研究人员使用NVivo通过主题内容分析法对数据进行了定性研究。
通过学习契约和反思日记从学生数据中总共识别出了四个和六个主要学习主题。
这些学习主题反映了学生对他们在临床实习期间认为重要的学习途径的看法。它们为学生在临床教育过程中的经历和意见提供了有价值的见解，这对于改进物理治疗教育中的教学方法应该是有用的。
