Clinical Education Flashcards
Summary of Fitts and Posner’s three stages of motor learning
Cognitive: process- gathering information. Characteristics- large gains, inconsistent performance. Other name- Verbal- motor stage.
Associative: Process- putting actions together. Characteristics- small gains, disjointed performance, conscious effort. Other name- motor stage.
Autonomous: Process- much time and practice. Characteristics- performance seems unconscious, automatic, and smooth. Other name- automatic stage
Error detection
- Error detection capabilities are thought to require memory of sensory feedback from previously performed action
- To enhance the development of error detection process: Allow performers time to think about an action before feedback is provided. Ask performers to estimate their own errors before feedback is provided. Withhold PT feedback on some (end) practices trials.
Models of clinical education: integrated
- degree conferred following didactic and clinical education program
- responsibility for clinical learning experiences shared between academic program and clinical site
- clinical facilities generally not remunerated for activities
Models of clinical education: independent and separate
- Degree conferred after didactic program
- Licensure eligible after clinical learning experience
- LOC for clinical learning rests with clinical site
Models of clinical education: Self contained
- degree conferred after didactic program and clinical experiences with program faculty
- both responsibility and supervision of clinical experiences are conducted within the academic institution
Models of clinical education: Hybrid
-A combination of any of the above
Role and responsibilities of participants
-ACCE: academic coordinator of clinical education, faculty member of DPT program, employed by school.
-CCCE: Center coordinator of clinical education, employee of site who coordinates placement
-CI: clinical instructor, PT who trains student, employee of site, could also be CCCE.
DPT student.
