ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Peer-assisted learning has an important place in the delivery of health care education with benefits for both the learners and the peer teachers. Simulation-based learning (SBL) is evolving in healthcare professions training and academic programs as a modality that conveys realism and fidelity through immersion.OBJECTIVES:
The primary aim was to compare physiotherapy student's motivation to learn between a conventional faculty-led SBL activity and the same SBL activity delivered by trained final year physiotherapy peer tutors.METHODS:
Physiotherapy students from two Universities (n = 226) undertook a SBL learning activity (either faculty led or peer led) and completed the Instructional Materials Motivation Scale questionnaire to assess motivation to learn.RESULTS:
There was a high level of learner motivation in all learning groups, with significantly higher learner satisfaction (p < 0.001) and lower attention (p < 0.001) in student-led SBL than faculty-led SBL.CONCLUSIONS:
This study has highlighted the potential to incorporate peer-assisted and simulation-based learning together in the development of future educational activities in health care training.
