Abstract

Amaç: COVID-19 salgını sırasında birçok kurum ve öğretim görevlisi derslerini iptal etmek yerine uzaktan eğitim (DE) ile kesintisiz devam etmeye çalışmıştır. Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemisinde akademisyen ve öğrencilerin uzaktan fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon eğitimine yönelik algı ve tutumlarını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma, Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon Yüksekokulu'nda Mayıs-Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Uzaktan eğitimde görevlendirilen 22 akademisyene çalışma bilgisi verildi ve Uzaktan Eğitim Algı Ölçeği anketi dolduruldu. Öğrencilerin sınıf WhatsApp grupları aracılığıyla 620 lisans öğrencisinin tamamına Web Tabanlı Öğretim Tutum Ölçeği online anket linki gönderildi.
Sonuçlar: Akademisyenlerin DE algısı orta düzeydeydi ve akademisyenlerin çoğu DE'de öğrencilerin analitik düşünme fırsatlarının olmadığını, eğitim kalitesinin artmadığını ve öğrenme çıktılarının geleneksel yüz yüze ile eşdeğer olmadığını belirttiler. Öğrencilerin yarısından fazlası DE’nin "eğitim sorununa" alternatif bir çözüm olabileceğini belirtti. Ancak çevrimiçi derslerdeki teknik sorunlar nedeniyle DE’yi sıkıcı bulduklarını ve kayıtlı oldukları üniversiteye hissetmediklerini de bildirdiler.
Tartışma: Her ne kadar DE pandemi sürecinde eğitim faaliyetlerinin sürdürülmesi açısından alternatif bir çözüm olarak görülse de, hem akademisyen hem de öğrenciler açısından DE'ye yönelik tutumlar belirsizlik yaratmaktadır. Bu durum fizyoterapi eğitiminin pratik ders içeriklerine sahip olmasından kaynaklanabilir. Teknoloji kullanımının daha kullanıcı dostu hale getirilmesi ve kullanıcıların temel teknik eğitimden geçmeleri ile DE’nin kalitesi arttırılabilir.

INVESTIGATION OF ACADEMICIANS AND STUDENTS' PERCEPTION AND ATTITUDES FOR DISTANCE PHYSIOTHERAPY AND REHABILITATION EDUCATION IN COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

Purpose: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many institutions and instructors tried to continue without disruption through distance education (DE) instead of canceling their lectures. This study aims to investigate of academicians and students' perception and attitudes for distance physiotherapy and rehabilitation education in COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This study was conducted at School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation between May to June 2020. Study information were given to 22 academicians be assigned in distance education and Distance Education Perceptions Scale questionnaires were filled. Web Based Instruction Attitude Scale online survey link was sent to through students' class WhatsApp groups to all of the 620 undergraduate students.
Results: Academicians' perception of DE were at moderate level, most of the academicians stated that students don’t have the opportunity to think analytically in DE, the quality of education does not increase and learning outcomes are not equivalent to traditional education. More than half of the students stated that DE could be an alternative solution to the "education problem". However, they found the DE boring due to technical problems and did not feel belonging to the university they were enrolled.
Conclusion: Although DE is seen as an alternative solution in terms of continuing educational activities during the pandemic process, attitudes towards DE create uncertainty for both academicians and students. This may be due to the fact that physiotherapy education has practical course contents. The quality of DE can be increased by making the use of technology more user-friendly and by providing basic technical training for users.
