The purpose of this study is to determine the perceptions of athletic training students, both with and without self-disclosed hidden disabilities, regarding the educational practices within their Athletic Training program (ATP) as measured by the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education. It was our intent to determine how athletic training students perceive their educational experiences in their overall ATP and do perceptions differ between AT students with self-disclosed hidden disabilities and those without hidden disabilities. Data was collected from students (N = 129) who represented 30 of the 77 CAATE accredited undergraduate athletic training education programs in the US District 4 (GLATA). Five percent of participants (n = 7) self-identified with having a hidden disability, involving a diagnosis that affects their learning experience, including ADHD (n = 5), LD (n = 2), and some form of psychological (n = 1) or medical (n = 1) condition. Significant differences were found between groups when comparing students with a self-disclosed hidden disability and those without on the total instrument score (p= .001), and 4 out of the 7 subscales: Active Learning (p= .000), Prompt Feedback (p= .006), Time On Task (p= .002), and High Expectations (p= .011). AT educators could utilize the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education to gather information regarding student perceptions of their educational experiences and use that as a basis to implement more UDL inspired approaches grounded in good practice in the didactic and clinical aspects of the program.
Athletic training education programs (ATEP) have considerable common ground with other health care education programs including selective admission, curricular issues related to clinical education, and technical standards established to delineate the cognitive and physical attributes considered central to health care education. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of ATEP directors' perceptions of selected issues related to athletic training students with disabilities, emphasizing reasonable accommodations for students with physical disabilities, and to compare these perceptions to those of Student Disability Service (SDS) directors. In this exploratory study, questionnaires were sent to ATEP and SDS directors at 325 institutions with accredited ATEPs. Of 650 surveys, 33.5% (n = 212) were returned with usable data (41% among ATEP directors). A Kudner-Richardson 20 indicated moderate to high inter-item reliability (.44 - 85) for dichotomous variables associated with the instrument. Differences between groups were identified through t tests, chi-square and phi coefficients. A standard multiple regression analysis identified a statistically significant relationship between demographic variables and the intermediary index. The professional role of the respondent was the only demographic factor to demonstrate a significant effect for this index. Overall, ATEP directors were more likely to agree to accommodations for sensory organ impairments than for mobility, motor skill, or health related impairments. Significant differences were identified between ATEP and SDS respondents for disability specific accommodation when these were limited to clinical education experiences (p
This study looked at the perception of athletic training education by certified athletic trainers (ATCs) who work with disability sports. A questionnaire was used to gather information about how prepared ATCs felt using skills that might be needed if they provided medical coverage for athletes with disabilities.
Sexual harassment and mistreatment of students in medical school and allied health programs have been well dccumented. The student athletic trainer - perceptions of treatment questionnaire was used to determine the perceptions of Ss in athletic training education programs (ATEP). The sample included 260 Ss (93 male and 167 female; age 21.8 +_ 3.24 yrs, 19-44) enrolled in O. TEP (2.37 yrs -t .996 yrs; accumulated hours 880.75 f 45 1.1 1,56-2500hrs). R.eturn rate was 47.6% from Ss surveyed in accredited ATEP's. Ss were asked about self and peer perceived discrimination. Results indicated that 60.4% (male = 66.7%, female = 56.9%) of the Ss felt they were victims of discrimination. Areas in which Ss perceived self-discrimination included: offensive language (44.2%), exclusion on the basis of gender (3 1.2%), sexual humor (25%), and unwanted sexual advances (3.8%). Results from perceived discrimination of peers indicated that 63.8% (male = 72%, female = 60.5%) of the Ss thought their peers were victims of discrimination. Areas in which Ss perceived discrimination of peers included: offensive language (56.9%), exclusion on the basis of gender (3 1.5%), sexual humor (35.4%), and unwanted sexual advances (1 1.5%).
ABSTRACT: The current study was designed to investigate if differences existed in professional degree athletic training student (ATS) perceptions of the clinical learning environment with regards to immersive and clinical integration models of clinical education and preceptor to student ratios. In order to investigate ATS perspectives of the clinical learning environment a 34 item, four factor scale was developed by the researcher and named the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory – Athletic Training (CLEI-AT). Participants included 1,491 professional degree ATSs from across the United States who were recruited based on non-certified student membership status with the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA). Participants completed the CLEI-AT using Qualtrics Software (Provo, UT) and a 2 x 3 multivariate analysis of variance was computed to determine if mean vector differences existed among the independent variables with regard to the four subscales of the CLEI-AT. No significant multivariate differences were found therefore univariate analyses were conducted. A significant (p
ABSTRACT: The current study was designed to investigate undergraduate athletic training students (ATS) perceptions of the clinical learning environment (CLE) using the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory (CLEI) survey, as well as, to determine if major differences existed between on and off campus clinical education sites (Newton, Jolly, Ockerby, & Cross, 2010). In addition, the researcher explored if differences existed in the CLE between males and females, and sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The participants included 105 undergraduate ATS between the ages of 18 and 24 years. Participants were recruited from three East Coast, CAATE accredited,undergraduate athletic training programs. All participants completed the CLEI survey. A total of six 2 x 2 x 3 Independent Groups Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) were computed to determine if interactions or differences existed among the independent variables with respect to the six subscales on the CLEI survey. A significant (p .05) difference was found for the main effect of year in school with regard to the subscale, innovation, on the CLEI. All other findings were considered none significant (p .05), however, many practical implications were noted from the data.
The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine the lived experiences of recent racially and ethnically diverse athletic training graduates and factors that contributed to their successful completion of a professional athletic training program. To do this, a survey including the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education Student Inventory and random sampling interviews were utilized. Participants completed a survey, provided inventory scores and open-ended responses, and reflected on their academic experiences as athletic training students. A few participants were selected to complete an interview to further analyze their experiences. Participants included 43 recent racially and ethnically diverse athletic training graduates. Findings from the inventory results include statistical significance for average scores among racially and ethnically diverse athletic training graduates and BSAT or MSAT program types. Participants' open-ended survey responses and random sampling interviews identified themes for barriers faced, strategies used to overcome the barriers, and factors that attracted and retained the participants in their professional athletic training program. Examples of themes included a cultural disconnect, isolation, self-determination, and supportive peers and faculty.
