To report on the findings of a survey of sonographer skill-teaching practices in Australia using the SonoSTePs tool.
A cross-sectional survey of all qualified sonographers registered with the Australian Sonographer Accreditation Registry.
The 528 responses showed the use of a two-step skill-teaching approach to teach scanning skills and the incorporation of additional instructional practices to support a learner's initial acquisition of scanning skills, which include: providing coaching and guidance as the skill is practised; performing physical guidance; providing immediate error correction; and providing end-task feedback. Based on our findings, sonographer skill-teaching practices fall short of best pedagogical approaches.
There is a pressing need to identify the optimal pedagogical approaches to teach complex psychomotor scanning skills. Research is required to ensure that the scanning skills are taught efficiently and that the pedagogical approaches to teach scanning skills foster the learner's long-term retention of the skill. There is also an accompanying need for sonographers involved in teaching scanning skills to have knowledge of the motor-learning theories and principles related to teaching a complex psychomotor skill.
报告使用SonoSTePs工具对澳大利亚超声检查技师技能教学实践进行调查的结果。
对在澳大利亚超声检查技师认证注册机构注册的所有合格超声检查技师进行横断面调查。
528份回复表明，采用两步技能教学法教授扫描技能，并纳入额外的教学实践以支持学习者初步掌握扫描技能，这些实践包括：在技能练习时提供指导和引导；进行身体引导；立即纠错；以及提供任务结束后的反馈。根据我们的研究结果，超声检查技师的技能教学实践未达到最佳教学方法。
迫切需要确定教授复杂心理运动扫描技能的最佳教学方法。需要进行研究以确保有效地教授扫描技能，并且教授扫描技能的教学方法能促进学习者对技能的长期掌握。同时，参与教授扫描技能的超声检查技师也需要了解与教授复杂心理运动技能相关的运动学习理论和原则。
