dc.description.abstract | The Physical Therapy department (Doctorate) 2018-19 annual assessment report to the College of Health and Human Development for the Office of Academic Assessment and Program Review. The department assessed PSLOs 2 (Communicate in a professional manner to a diverse population in classroom activities and in clinical setting) and 3 (Practice in an independent and interdependent role in providing physical therapy services), via a departmentally-created Professional Behavior Rubric (an indirect assessment instrument employing student self-evaluation) and APTA's Clinical Performance Instrument (CPI). Full details of the multiple criteria addressed in these instruments are included in the report. Citing an increasing number of students from 2016 to 2018 falling below program expectations in these areas, the report cites a program goal of achieving "awareness of professional behavior, and standardization of assessment so that the Physical Therapy Department could remediate the situation and provide an opportunity for student growth prior to unsuccessfully finishing their clinical affiliation." Results are described as follows: Comparing the self-scores and CPI scores for the Professional Behavior category from the first internship among classes 61, 62 and 63, it was found that there were significant differences between cohorts p<.005. Differences were found between class 62 and 63 (p=.004) and 61 and 62 (p=.043) for self-score and for CPI score differences were found between class 63 and 62 (p=.006)." Overall performance on Professional Behavior before and after the implementation of the rubric was also analyzed, revealing "significant differences between the years of 2018 and 2019 (p values of: p=.000 for self-score and p=.001 for CPI score). Students demonstrated improvement in their overall scores for both categories, self-score and CI score. However, additional analysis is required to determine if these changes reflect the feedback provided by the professional behavior rubric or if it is due to the advancement of their abilities throughout the program." It is also noted that no students failed their summer 2019 internships due to lack of professional behavior, signifying an improvement over past years that may be due to the adoption of the Professional Behavior Rubric. Plans for 2019-20 include the assessment of PSLOs 2, 3, and 4 via the Professional Behavior Rubric and the CPI. | en_US |
