Descriptions

Expertise in physiotherapy is based on the science of physiotherapy, which focuses on movement and mobility and their connection with activity in relation to functioning. Physiotherapy applies research and knowledge of other branches of science. Physiotherapists are required to command the theoretical knowledge of physiotherapy in terms of human behaviour, mobility and functioning and related instruction and training. The core areas of a Physiotherapist's expertise comprise the following themes: Physiotherapy as a Profession, Basics of Physiotherapeutic Assessment and Reasoning, Methods of Physiotherapy, Implementation of Physiotherapy, Professional Orientation of Physiotherapy, and Research and Development in Physiotherapy. Physiotherapists may either work as employees or as entrepreneurs within different areas of the rehabilitation service system in hospitals and health centres, research and medical institutions, rehabilitation institutions and spas, occupational health care services, public health, physical education and disabled people's organisations, within public social welfare services in old people's homes and day-care centres or within public educational and sports services.

Development

Tämän hetkinen Fysioterapeutin opetussuunnitelma on juonneopetussuunnitelma, jossa koulutuksen aikana hankittava osaaminen on kuvattu juonteiden kautta. Opetussuunnitelman tavoitteiden ja sisällöiden rakentamisessa on käytetty eurooppalaisia ja kansallisia kompetenssisuosituksia. Fysioterapiakoulutuksen kriteereiden lisäksi on ollut taustalla eurooppalaiset standardit fysioterapian toteuttamisesta ja fysioterapiapalvelujen järjestämisestä. Lisäksi on otettu huomioon Opetusministeriön selvitys ammattikorkeakouluista valmistuvien terveydenhuollon työntekijöiden minimiosaamisen kriteerit, Terva-ohjelma. Tässä vaiheessa ei tehdä Fysioterapeutin opetussuunnitelmasta kompetenssimatriisia.

Fysioterapeutin uusi osaamisperustainen opetussuunnitelma otetaan käyttöön vuonna 2012. Asia on käsitelty myös Fysioterapeuttikoulutuksen neuvottelukunnassa. Prosessi käynnistyy keväällä 2009 ja on valmiina helmikuussa 2011. Prosessi tarkentuu keväällä 2009.

Opetussuunnitelman kehittämisessä jatketaan yhteistyötä työelämän kanssa. Neuvottelukunta on mukana suunnittelutyössä. Opetussuunnitelmaa työstetään suunnittelutiimeissä, mm. lasten ja nuorten, työikäisten ja ikääntyneiden tiimeissä on työelämän edustus. Fysioterapeuttikoulutuksen ja harjoittelun ohjaajien kanssa käydään vuoropuhelua ja pidetään lukukausittain kokouksia /työseminaareja, joissa rakennetaan uuden opetussuunnitelman sisältöä. Suomen Fysioterapeutit - Finlands Fysioterapeuter ry:n kanssa jatketaan yhteistyötä. Työelämän edustajien ja koulun opettajien kanssa järjestettiin 10.2.09 koulutus- ja kokouspäivä. Tässä tilaisuudessa esiteltiin ensi kertaa uuden opetussuunnitelman kehittämistä ja siihen liittyviä taustatekijöitä. Samalla kutsuttiin ohjaajia mukaan kehittämistyöhön.

Kaikki fysioterapian opettajat osallistuvat opetussuunnitelman tekoon. Opettajia on lisäksi mukana valtakunnallisen fysioterapeuttikouluttajien verkostossa, jossa käsitellään opetussuunnitelmien kehittämistä. Yhteistyötä tehdään myös yhteisaineiden opettajien kanssa.

Opiskelijat osallistuvat opetussuunnitelman kehittämiseen. Opetukseen liittyvää palautetta saadaan opintojaksopalautteesta, OPALA -kyselystä ja toisen lukuvuoden kyselystä. Jokaisen lukukauden lopussa tutoropettaja käy ryhmänsä kanssa palautekeskustelun. Myös HOPS -keskustelujen kautta tulee palautetta opiskelijoiden oppimisprosesseista. Opiskelijoiden edustajia kutsutaan työryhmiin ja työelämäseminaareihin. Opetuksen yhteydessä järjestetään ryhmille mahdollisuuksia osallistua kehittämistyöhön.

Fysioterapeuttikoulutuksessa on OPS -työryhmä, jossa ovat lehtorit Sirpa Ahola, Riitta Huusari (pj), Ulla Härkönen, Aune Joutsemo sekä yliopettaja Salla Sipari. Opetussuunnitelmakoordinaattorina on lehtori Riitta Huusari.
