Enhancing Clinical Education in Physiotherapy: Students’ Perceptions of Effective Teaching and Learning Opportunities – Prospective Cross-Sectional Study

Summary/Abstract: The study examined final-year physiotherapy students’ perceptions of effective teaching and learning opportunities and the roles and attributes of clinical teachers during clinical education. Conducted at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, the study used a culturally adapted, structured questionnaire based on validated instruments. Students identified demonstrations, feedback, and discussion as the most valued teaching and learning opportunities. Clinical teachers were mainly seen as knowledge providers, feedback givers, and role models. Key personal attributes included communication skills and approachability. The findings underscore the importance of standardised training for clinical teachers to promote consistency and enhance the quality of clinical education.
