Aim:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of innovative teaching methods applied in the "Physiotherapy and Innovation" course conducted during the 2024-2025 spring semester on physiotherapy students' learning experiences, and to describe the process of developing and exhibiting student-designed materials at the end of the course.
Method:
The study was carried out with 45 third-year students enrolled in the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Health Sciences. The course was enriched with project-based learning, group brainstorming sessions, prototype development, presentations, and feedback meetings in line with innovative teaching principles. At the end of the semester, students designed prototypes of innovative tools, exercise materials, or educational aids applicable in the field of physiotherapy. The developed materials were presented at the "Innovative Physiotherapy Materials Exhibition" organized within the university.
