Bringing theory to life: integrating case-based learning in applied physiology for undergraduate physiotherapy education.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Case-based learning (CBL) is considered an effective teaching approach that provides medical students with a learning environment simulating future actual practice. So we aimed to implement CBL, as an additional component to traditional teaching methods (TTMs) in applied physiology for undergraduate physiotherapy students (UPS) and to evaluate its impact on students' perception and academic performance compared to TTMs alone.

Methods

CBL was implemented during the teaching of applied physiology throughout the neuroscience course in the 4th semester for UPS. Nine cases related to the topics taught were selected. The academic achievement was evaluated through the students' grades, and the students' perception and facilitators' feedback were explored through a struct
