Principles of Education & Motor Learning for Functional Mobility Training: Exam 1 Flashcards
Education
Process of imparting info or skills and instructing by principle (precept), example, experience so that indiv’s do 3 things:
- acquire knowledge
- master skills
- develop competence
MYTH:
Ed. is an exercise handout
TRUTH:
also discussion about disease, risk factors, health and wellness
MYTH:
anyone can do pt edu.
TRUTH:
rehab professionals do not often think of themselves as educators
*NOTE: PTAs cannot indep. engage in PT instruct.
MYTH:
edu. is not a PT intervention
TRUTH:
It IS and it is called pt/client related instruction
MYTH:
Prof. edu. in the class, lab, and clinic are same
TRUTH:
Edu. depends upon the environment and context
Key ingredients of teaching:
- arrange cond’s to bring about learning
- edu. process of instructing
*Instruction is the performance phase of teaching!!!*
Good clinical teacher (PT)
- 3 major areas
- deep understanding teaching topics
- engage pt
- know pts background
- “walk in their shoes”
- familiar w/ diff teaching approaches/techniques
- deep understanding teaching topics
Indiv’s ability to organize and sequence info/readiness to learn based on….
Experience
Intrinsic motivation is key to permanent learning***
Meaningful tasks and info are easily learned
active part. improves retention
problem-centered learning; relevant to life
environment/context affects learning
Learning
what is it?
capacity to behave in a given fashion, which results from practice or other forms of experience that causes an enduring change in behavior
its a process!!!
Good Learners
- Comprehend ideas taught
- transform info and beliefs into usable/applied knowledge
- engage in active collab.
- learning continues thru constant inquiry and reflection
learning style
HOW info is processed
3 bio-based perceptual modal’s
- Visual
- Auditory
- Kinesthetic
Learning styles
one style typ. dominant
may not always be same for some tasks
PT in educating pts
teachers first!!
- be knowledgeable of pts
- issues
- perspective
- concerns
- barriers
- values
- learning styles
- abilities
- ID pts attitude and value toward exercise
Important: understand characteristics of your pt that influence pt ed. and its success:
- memory
- cognition
- willingness to learn/change
- motivation

Caregiver issues :
PT assists BOTH pt and family in learning
family dynamics
eval caregivers knowledge of disease, tx, pts potential
PT’s must ID what w/ pt
- understanding of current illness
- learning style
- barriers
- consider motor learning
Process assoc’d w/ practice OR experience that results in change in an indiv’s motor behavior
Motor Learning
Motor learning is the ability to move ________ to _______
move in a particular way to accomplish a particular purpose
Motor Learning focuses on:
- interaction w/ environment
- new strategy development for performance of tasks
-
retaining and generalization of new skills
- ex. transfer bed to chair THEN can transfer WC to toilet
Motor Re-learning
explain…
- RE-intro of previously learned tasks
- pts w/ NEW onset disability or loss of function
3 stages of motor learning
- Cognitive–WHAT to do?
- Associative–HOW to do it?
- Autonomous–How to do it WELL
Motor learning stages:
Cognitive
WHAT to do?
- disorganized, lots of assist
- control environment
- HIGH degree rep. req’d
- incd practice
- pt verbalizes tasks
Motor learning stages:
Associative
HOW to do it?
- more organized, consistent, less cues, some assist
- dec amt trials
- alter environment a bit
