Educational programs for learning to observe movement quality in physical therapy: a design-based research approach.

Conclusions: To learn observational skills, students, facilitated by an experienced teacher, need to take the lead in their own learning process. This might imply a need for additional training for teachers. A realistic context is a precondition for learning; it might be necessary to increase possibilities for observations in clinical contexts or to invest in training for (simulated) patients as participants in education. Further research is needed to test the applicability of the design principles and a proto-theory for other professionals with a focus on observation and analysis of movements.
