The purposes of this study were twofold: (1) to assess problem-solving skills held by entering students in a problem-solving curriculum in physical therapy (P.T.) in order to assist in admissions policies; and (2) to determine if education within a problem-solving curricular framework improves the student's ability to problem-solve. Two phases were used to achieve these ends. In Phase I, the relationships among the problem-solving skills of entering P.T. students prior to involvement in a problem-solving curriculum, learning styles, prerequisite coursework, previously attended institution and major field of study were investigated. In Phase II, relationships among changes such as improvement in problem-solving skills and when in the curriculum the greatest change occurs, specific types of courses, and grade-point-averages (G.P.A.) were investigated. The Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal and the Grasha-Reichmann Student Learning Style Scales were used as assessment instruments. This investigation did not offer conclusive evidence that problem-solving skills are related to prerequisite course grades, undergraduate major or course grades received while enrolled in a problem-solving curriculum. A significant relationship was seen between the variable of grade/college selectivity and changes in problem-solving skills. Neither undergraduate college major nor learning style was found to be significantly related to grades, problem-solving skills, or changes in problem-solving skills. Learning styles were significantly related to undergraduate majors. No relationship was found among improvement in problem-solving skills, enrollment in a problem-solving curriculum in P.T., course grades and G.P.A. Significant results were seen between coursework designed to improve problem-solving skills and problem-solving skills. The results of this investigation support the concept that problem-solving skills can be improved through education.Subjects--Topical Terms:
