Summary

Advances in health professions education increasingly emphasize the use of digital technologies to enhance student engagement and support diverse learning needs. In physiotherapy training, particularly in technically complex subjects like electrotherapy, conventional instruction may fall short in fostering active learning and knowledge retention. Game-based platforms such as Ren'Py offer an opportunity to integrate interactive, scenario-based learning into the curriculum. This study aimed to assess the impact of Ren'Py-based digital materials on learning outcomes by comparing conventional, digital, and hybrid teaching models in an undergraduate electrotherapy course.

Interventions

OTHER

Digital Instructional Material

A lesson package containing a story in an interactive visual novel format created using Ren'Py. This package was designed by the researchers to include the theoretical and practical contents of the medium frequency currents unit, again using the content of the CK4Stim project.

OTHER

Conventional Instructional Material

The course content was standardized using materials from the "CK4Stim-Clinical Key for Electrical Stimulation in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation" project (CK4Stim, Access Date: October 2024). The CK4Stim project, supported by the European Union and involving multiple projects partners, aims to develop a common language for the use of electrical stimulation in physiotherapy and rehabilitation education in accordance with European standards.
