Graduating Physiotherapy Students’ Conceptions of their own Competence
2017
A competence-oriented approach has recently emerged in higher education and thus far, not much attention has been paid to how “competence” itself is understood in education. The purpose of this study was to examine how graduating physiotherapy students perceive their competence at the end of their studies. The data comprised interviews with 33 graduating physiotherapy students. The data were analysed with the phenomenographic approach. The findings indicated that graduating students had different and wide-ranging conceptions of what competence in physiotherapy entails and what their own competence covers. The descriptive categories – mastering core skills, understanding the theoretical basi…

Practical work in physiotherapy students’ professional development
2017
Learning practical work through cooperation between school and working life is part of physiotherapy higher education. Students learn practical work through the integration of theoretical, practical, tacit and situational knowledge in a socialization process. Workplace practices and habits direct students’ learning. This study answers the question: What kind of conceptions of learning practical work do physiotherapy students have? Longitudinal data written by 21 volunteer students (mean age 25 years) was collected over three and a half years. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Learning practical work proceeds in five phases: (1) the basis of practical work, human movement and a…
Simplification Of Painting Images For Tactile Perception By Visually Impaired Persons
2018
The access to artworks by visually impaired people requires a simplified tactile representation of paintings. This paper presents the difficulties of direct transcription of artworks and the test results of simplification of the paintings done by Australian Aborigines which don't have purely visual elements such as shadows or perspective. The implemented methodology is bottom-up: it starts with tactile representation of basic elements relevant to the understanding of the whole painting, then their association into more complex concepts. The context of associations is explained through audio-description. The results of the tests with visually impaired persons are analyzed and explained.
Special education without teaching assistants? : The development process for students with autism
2020
Many children may need the help of another person to attend school. It is common for children with disabilities to receive help from a teaching assistant at school. Assistants are provided in many countries as a legal right and are often publicly funded. It is also widely assumed that having teaching assistants in the class is an effective and cost-efficient way to support students with disabilities. In this study, the research task was to monitor and document the development process carried out by the teacher, with the aim of making visible the development of a more dynamic classroom interaction. The focus in this development process was the teacher’s idea of minimizing the conta…
Les étudiants de la génération Y en formation
2013
National audience; La génération Y suscite débats et questionnements au niveau pédagogique. C'est actuellement celle qui constitue la majorité des étudiants en formation paramédicale. Peu désireuse d'un enseignement dispensant uniquement des savoirs, cette génération demande que le formateur s'adapte aux étudiants pour susciter leur intérêt et donc leur engagement dans la formation. Cela passe par certaines caractéristiques générationnelles, à commencer par la relation entre le formateur et les étudiants mais aussi par le travail en groupe, l'apprentissage par essais-erreurs, ou encore l'utilisation de nouvelles technologies. Ce texte propose un éclairage sur ces différents points pour ques…

Herausforderungen im Lehramtsstudium: Beobachten und Reflektieren im vertrauten Terrain?
2017
Die fruhen Praktika im Lehramtsstudium sind im Kern Beobachtungspraktika, in denen die Studierenden erste Schritte in der Entwicklung einer professionellen Perspektive als Lehrkraft leisten sollen. Dabei wird ubersehen, dass Lehramtsstudierende Novizen in der Unterrichtsbeobachtung sind und als solche dazu neigen, an den oberflachlichen Sichtstrukturen zu verharren und Tiefenstrukturen von Unterricht zu ubersehen. Dabei werden ebenfalls kaum Theorie-Praxis-Bezuge hergestellt, sodass universitare Lehre und schulpraktische Erfahrung fur die Lehramtsstudierenden parallele Welten bleiben. Basierend auf den psychologischen Grundlagen menschlicher Beobachtung und Reflexion machen wir in diesem Be…
