Abstract

In line with the increase in online studies, an online-oriented physiotherapy training programme has been launched. No previous research has been conducted on this topic. Using a qualitative phenomenographic interview study, this Master’s thesis examined students’ perceptions of learning via an online-oriented degree programme. The results revealed that physiotherapy students’ perceptions were divided into three hierarchically expanding categories: 1) e-learning as acquisition of knowledge and skills, 2) e-learning as an individual adaptive process and 3) e-learning as an enabler. The results highlighted physiotherapy students’ perceptions of the importance of independent study and their concerns about learning practical physiotherapist skills. The student perspective can be useful for improving online-oriented physiotherapy education.
