Summary

This study primarily aims to evaluate the impact of a 12-week peer role-play simulation model on the professional development of undergraduate physiotherapy students. Unlike traditional teacher-led case discussions, this study explores the effect of active participation in clinical scenarios, in which students alternate between the roles of 'clinician' and 'patient', on their academic achievement, self-efficacy and perceived clinical readiness. Specifically, the study aims to determine whether this interactive, low-cost pedagogical approach is a superior alternative to conventional lecture-based methods for preparing students for real-world clinical environments, particularly in high-enrolment academic settings.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Peer Role-Play Simulation (PRPS)

A 12-week educational intervention where students rotate through roles of therapist, patient, and observer in simulated neurological clinical scenarios, followed by structured debriefing sessions.

BEHAVIORAL

Traditional Case-Based Learning (CBL)

A 12-week pedagogical approach involving independent case analysis of written scenarios, classroom presentations, and video-assisted demonstrations of physiotherapy skills.
