Summary

Aim:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of innovative teaching methods applied in the "Physiotherapy and Innovation" course conducted during the 2024-2025 spring semester on physiotherapy students' learning experiences, and to describe the process of developing and exhibiting student-designed materials at the end of the course.

Method:

The study was carried out with 45 third-year students enrolled in the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Health Sciences. The course was enriched with project-based learning, group brainstorming sessions, prototype development, presentations, and feedback meetings in line with innovative teaching principles. At the end of the semester, students designed prototypes of innovative tools, exercise materials, or educational aids applicable in the field of physiotherapy. The developed materials were presented at the "Innovative Physiotherapy Materials Exhibition" organized within the university.

Game-Based Learning Training on Approaching Patients With Kinesiophobia

The intervention consisted of a structured game-based learning training program designed to improve physiotherapy students' approach to patients with kinesiophobia. Each training session lasted approximately 60-90 minutes and was delivered face-to-face by the responsible researcher. The training included four main components: (1) a brief theoretical lecture (15-20 minutes) covering kinesiophobia, pain psychology, and patient management; (2) case-based learning (20-30 minutes) involving analysis of fictional clinical scenarios; (3) game-based and interactive activities (20-30 minutes) focused on the management of kinesiophobia; and (4) group work and discussion (15-20 minutes), during which students collaboratively solved problems and discussed scenarios tailored to varying levels of patients' psychological and physical status. Gamified quizzes were integrated into the training using an escape room format developed via the Genially platform. Students progressed through the activity by

Routine Physiotherapy Education

Participants in the control group continued their standard physiotherapy curriculum for the same study period. No additional training, game-based learning activities, case simulations, or kinesiophobia-specific educational content were provided during the intervention period.
