3621 PHYSIOTHERAPY AND REHABILITATION PhD

GENERAL INFORMATION
The entrance requirement to the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Doctoral Program at Pamukkale University is completion of Master Science (MSc) studies (at least 2 years) in the physical therapy and rehabilitation area. The doctoral program consists of a four-year curriculum that includes academic, clinical, and research experiences with a doctoral thesis. Upon successful completion of the curriculum, the student is awarded Doctoral Degree (PhD) in Physical therapy and rehabilitation. Major Fields of Doctoral Program Neurological Rehabilitation Orthopedic rehabilitation Pediatric rehabilitation Cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation Geriatric rehabilitation Community rehabilitation Sports physical therapy Women Health Hand therapy Occupational Therapy Requirement to be graduated from Doctoral Program: Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Doctoral Program : at least 240 ECTS with a doctoral thesis.

TEACHING & LEARNING METHODS
NameComments
LecturingLecturing is one of the methods that come first, where the teacher is in the center. It is a method where the teacher actively describes topics and the students are passive listeners. With this method, lesson proceeds in the form of report, description and explanation.
DebateDepending on the situation, debate is a tool that allows all students, or a specific portion of the class to participate in the lesson. In this method, members of the group discuss a topic by addressing the various points of view and discuss alternative opinions about problem-solving.
DemonstrationIn this method the teacher demonstrates, an experiment, test, in front of the class. And then assists students to do so too. Students learn not only by just by looking and watching, but also by taking part and participating. This method is usually applied when teaching skills.
Case Study Case studies require students to actively participate while using an analytical perspective to think about real and problematic events. The problematic event may be real or very close to real life. Student(s) working on the documents that include the necessary data and descriptions of the
Problem SolvingThe name given to any doubt or ambiguity that arises is, a problem. Problems which usually have a role in human life, that have preventing or annoying aspects are solved by considering the stages of scientific methods. (a) Problems are determined. (b) The problem is identified. 
Cooperative LearningCooperative Learning is; a kind of learning that is based on the students working together for a common purpose. Children with different skills come together in heterogeneous groups to learn by helping each other. Students gain experiences such as becoming aware of the unity
PerformanceIn this method, the teacher performs activities such as experiments and demonstrations in front of the class, students try to learn by looking and watching. This method is usually applied where there are limited facilities and in dealing with dangerous experimental situations.
Questions –AnswersThe different types of Questions used (associative, differential, assessment, requesting information, motivating, and brainstorming) although students get in to more active positions during the process; the method is teacher-centered. If possible Questions, that serve a purpose and
Micro-Teaching Although this method aims to produce prospective teachers’ who have adopted the role in which they undertake and apply in the classroom, it can also be applied in different areas. It makes it possible to carry certain skills to the learning environment by using video and audio recording
Scenario-based teaching Although it is similar to the Case Study method, there is a fictional approach in the scenario. The subject can be presented by inserting it in to a fiction and can also lead the student’s to producing their own scenarios.
ProjectProject-based learning is a learning way which leads students to deal with interesting problems and to create extraordinary products at the end of this. It allows students to use their creativity and it requires them to look at events perceptively.
Observation Although we generally get information related to the nature through observations, the Observation method can also be used for other situations and under other conditions. We try to reach certain generalizations by thinking about our findings which we gather from our observations.
Testing Means reaching results by using various information with certain mechanisms, which are set up to imitate natural events in artificial environments and to have students take a certain topics and applying them to reach certain aims/objectives. Nature researchers, scientists, and educators
