简要总结
This study will evaluate the effects of an escape room-based learning activity in an undergraduate neurological rehabilitation course for physiotherapy and rehabilitation students.
Third-year students enrolled in the Neurological Rehabilitation course will participate in a team-based educational escape room consisting of six stations. The stations will require students to apply knowledge and clinical reasoning skills related to neurological conditions, sensory assessment, the ASIA Impairment Scale, walking aids, neurological evaluation methods, and rehabilitation decision-making.
The study will assess academic achievement, escape room performance, student satisfaction, and student experiences. Academic outcomes may be compared with course results from the previous academic year. Escape room performance measures will include completion time, completed stations, solved puzzles, hints received, errors made, and rubric-based performance scores. Students will also complete a satisfaction questionnaire, and a subgroup of volunteer students will participate in individual interviews.
Participation will be voluntary and will not affect course grades. The activity may involve temporary video recording solely for same-day debriefing; recordings will not be used as research data and will be permanently deleted immediately after debriefing. No medical intervention or biological sample collection will be performed.
详细描述
This single-group quasi-experimental mixed-methods educational study will evaluate the effects of an escape room-based learning activity implemented within the Neurological Rehabilitation course for third-year undergraduate physiotherapy and rehabilitation students at Lokman Hekim University.
The study aims to investigate the effects of escape room-based learning on academic achievement, practical performance, clinical problem-solving, clinical decision-making, teamwork, communication, time management, student satisfaction, and learning experiences. The qualitative component will explore students' perceptions, evaluations, and recommendations regarding the escape room learning experience through semi-structured individual interviews.
Students who voluntarily agree to participate will be assigned to teams of approximately seven students. Each team will participate in a structured educational escape room activity consisting of three phases: prebriefing, gameplay, and debriefing.
During the prebriefing phase, students will receive information about the purpose of the activity, rules, time limit, team roles, safety procedures, and their right to withdraw from the activity at any time. The gameplay phase will consist of six neurological rehabilitation stations. Students will work collaboratively to solve puzzles and complete practical tasks involving identification of neurological conditions, interpretation of clinical findings, use of the ASIA Impairment Scale, sensory assessment, selection and use of walking aids, matching disease-specific assessment methods, and clinical decision-making.
The escape room activity will be conducted in a university laboratory arranged to provide a standardized educational environment for each group. Students will have a limited time to complete the stations. Performance indicators will include completion time, number of completed stations, number of solved puzzles, hints received, errors made, and station-specific rubric scores.

结局指标
主要结局
Academic Achievement: Midterm Examination Score
时间窗: 8 weeks
Academic achievement will be assessed using the midterm examination score in the Neurological Rehabilitation course. Scores will be reported as points obtained from the course examination. Higher scores indicate greater academic achievement.
Academic Achievement: Final Examination Score
时间窗: 16 weeks
Academic achievement will be assessed using the final examination score in the Neurological Rehabilitation course. Scores will be reported as points obtained from the course examination. Higher scores indicate greater academic achievement.
Academic Achievement: Overall Course Grade
时间窗: 16 weeks later
Overall academic achievement will be assessed using the final course grade calculated according to the standard course evaluation system. Higher scores indicate greater overall academic achievement.
Escape Room Completion Time
时间窗: Day 1
Escape room performance will be assessed by recording the total time required for each team to complete the escape room activity. Completion time will be reported in minutes. Shorter completion time indicates better task completion performance.
次要结局
- Student Satisfaction with Escape Room-Based Learning(Immediately after the escape room activity)
- Qualitative Student Learning Experience(16 weeks)
