Recognition of predictable variables in the early stages of learning: training experience with kinesiology/ physiotherapy students.
Abstract
Background: Understanding rationalities is essential in the training of kinesiologists. However, semantic and syntactic ambiguities persist in theoretical approaches to learning. Objective: Explore students' ability to recognize prognostic variables. Methodology: Educational research with a transversal observational approach through a training workshop held in 2023 with 76 students from the cohort applying descriptive statistics techniques. Results: There is evidence of a greater understanding of the domains related to the Function-Dysfunction, Movement and Health axis, compared to the corresponding dimensions. The interpretation of graphs in various combinations reflects an appropriate use of this skill for decision making. Conclusion: The understanding of the students, especially in the identification of key variables, is efficient. Areas of confusion and errors in interpretation indicate the need to address conceptual gaps. The training workshop proved to be a valuable tool for this improvement.
