Dr. Murray and colleagues published a study in the Journal of Physical Therapy Education
In this study, the team delved into the critical issue of task-fit misalignment within the realm of clinical education and its implications for the Director of Clinical Education (DCE). Drawing on the principles of Grounded Theory, the research sheds new light on the challenges and complexities faced by DCEs in ensuring an optimal match between tasks assigned to students and their individual learning needs.
The article addresses a pressing concern in the field, offering valuable insights into the factors that can influence task-fit misalignment and its subsequent impact on the learning outcomes of physical therapy students. The team’s meticulous analysis of this phenomenon provides a comprehensive framework that can aid academic institutions and educators in enhancing the effectiveness of clinical education programs.
