摘要：Purpose:This study aimed to assess the educational environment (EE) among students in a physical therapy undergraduate program,to identify patterns in EE perceptions among the students by year,and to determine issues that should be addressed.Methods:The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) questionnaire was used to explore the relationships among the total mean score,subscales,and items in a competency-based curriculum in the physical therapy program at the University of Chile.The DREEM questionnaire was filled out by 166 of 244 students (68.03%),of whom 56.6% were men and 43.4% were women,with 75.9% between 19 and 23 years of age.Results:The total mean score (120.9/200) indicated that the EE was perceived as 'more positive than negative.’ There were significant differences (P<0.05) between first-year students (113.41),who reported the lowest total mean score,and fourth-year students (126.60),who had the highest total mean score.Students rated their EE favorably on each subscale except social self-perceptions,which second-year students rated as 'not too bad,’ and for which first-,third-,and fourth-year students gave a rating corresponding to 'not a nice place.’ On the perceptions of teachers subscale,there were significant differences (P<0.05) between first-year students (28.05/44) and fourth-year students (32.24/44) and between second-year students (28.72/44) and fourth-year students (32.24/44).On the academic self-perceptions subscale,there were significant differences (P<0.05) between first-year students (18.12/32) and second-year (21.68/32),third-year (22.33/32),and fourth-year students (21.87/32).Conclusion:Physical therapy students at the University of Chile had positive perceptions of their EE.First-year students rated the largest number of items as problematic.Improvements are required across the program in the specific subscales mentioned above.
