Case-based Assessment for Physiotherapy Students

Sequence

Case-based Assessment for Physiotherapy Students

Designed as a sequential case-based online and in-class approach, students are able to scaffold their clinical skills and reasoning through developing and implementing case based assessment and management strategies of simple and complex patients. Students are assigned 6 patient cases within Week 8 of the semester of which will be similar to the cases that students are assigned in their end of semester practical examination. Students can work independently or as groups, contributing to Padlet discussions relating to each patient case. Within tutorials, designed sequentially from Week 9 to 12 (2 cases per tutorial), students work together to plan and present their clinical assessment and management of each case, with facilitation and probing from tutorial staff. Within class discussion is facilitated to explore student views and clinical reasoning whilst reflecting on best evidence based practice (Hour 1). Clinical skills practice is then facilitated where students select skills to practice in relation to the outlined case (Hour 2).

Clinical Case Presentation

Assessment method

Clinical Case Presentation

The Clinical Case Presentation (CCP) is an exercise in which students demonstrate their skills in assessing a patient's problem/s, with specific emphasis on the relevant clinical and investigative findings, the diagnosis and the current and potential future management plans. Furthermore, the student is expected to read around the surgically relevant or related aspects of the case and be expected to discuss these with the examiner during the presentation.

Clinical Project Using Action Learning

Team or Group based, Sequence

Clinical Project Using Action Learning

As part of a progressive series of seminars, this assessment item acts as the culminating piece for each seminar. The default submission format is a written piece lodged via Turn-It-In of between 750-1500 words - with greater weight allocated to the assessment items as the seminars progress. Because of the nature of the cohort (practising sport coaches) and the level of the program (post-graduate study), students are offered a degree of choice within each seminar (e.g. topic focus and submission format). Students are supported through this process through the seminar structure of reading week, discussion week, assessment week).

Condensed Problem-based Assessment

Students are set discipline-specific problem-based exercises for completion during class. The objective is to craft a written response (1500 words) to the problem, or use group collaboration to develop and deliver a 10-15 minute presentation proposing a solution. This assessment requires active problem solving and engagement with relevant web sources.
