We’ve been in circumstances wherein I had to teach something
to a person before, but it’s just now that you really think about structuring
it. It’s only now that you gauging the level of your learners, and the level of
learning you would require them. Often we would just write as many objectives
as we can, but now we only need to choose the highest level and omit the lower
levels.
It’s also only now that you think about how to measure or
assess if the person learned or achieved the objectives. Often when we teach a
skill, a mere observation is what we use to evaluate if the student has
learned. But there are other ways like return-demonstrations. Also, although it seems like common sense, many forget that a simple question-and-answer can already
assess the cognitive domain.
Personally, it’s only now that I thought about objectives in
the affective domain. I never really thought about the behavior of someone and
how to change it. I now realize the importance of changing the attitudes of clients
especially in their views in the importance of what you are doing. And a
positive attitude would translate to a positive behavior when doing the
activity.
This is just one of the brain exercises we students have to
go through to practice the level of intellect required for a full-fledged PT
professional. Like our other written exercises, I still can hardly imagine how
it all happens in the mind, quickly and repeatedly for the many patients we will
encounter. But I’m determined to reach that level as a PTRP.
