Aprendizaje basado en la resolución de problemas (casos clínicos) y transversalización docente en primer y segundo curso de grado en Fisioterapia

Résumé

Introduction: Problem-based learning is one of the most useful teaching methods in the application of knowledge from a theoretical to practical concept, despite its limited use in university teaching. On the other hand, transversalization of knowledge delivers interesting qualification results in health sciences. Methods: The study has included activities in different fields, among which are: - Design of educational strategies to facilitate the acquisition of skills. - Implementation of active methods of teaching and learning. - Performing of teaching materials. - Design of coordinated activities between courses. Results: All activities involved in the study have been completed. From the academic point of view, the scores of students were high. All students have passed the experience and grades have ranged from significant (60%) to excellent (40%). On the transversal qualification and skills acquisition, the students learned how to implement the problem-based learning methodology, while the teacher staff continued with the attitude change towards the daily use of ICT in university education. Finally, a compendium of more than 50 clinical cases linking anatomy and physiotherapy assessment has been developed. Conclusion: Both content transversalization and problem-based learning (clinical cases) improves feedback of the teaching and learning cycle. The degree of satisfaction, both for teachers and students, has been raised.
