description | Physical distance was one of the safety measures that were applied during the outbreak of COVID-19 and universities all over the world were forced to shift toward online teaching (OT). The aim of the study was to answer six research questions related to the profile of OT in Egyptian Physical Therapy Colleges during the COVID-19 outbreak. A google form questionnaire was used to survey 102 Egyptian Physical Therapy Educators (EPTEs) who were engaged in teaching Physical Therapy undergraduate programs in Egyptian universities during the spring semester of the academic year 2020-2021. Results showed that the EPTEs frequently (N= 51; 58.0%) used OT both from work and home. Private universities showed a significant advantage over public universities regarding the provision of institutional training (N= 101, P= 0.003) and availability of institutional educational support centers (N=99, P= 0.0001). Most (N= 30; 63.8%) university website users were full or associate professors, while (N= 24; 53.3%) Microsoft Teams users were lecturers. The EPTEs who had a positive attitude toward the suitability of OT for practical and clinical instructions were a minority (N= 48; 22.9%) and (N= 24; 29.2%) respectively. The EPTEs perceived different themes for advantages, disadvantages, and challenges regarding their experience with OT. Less than one-tenth (N= 10; 9%) of EPTEs showed the highest positive attitude toward the readiness of their colleges for the application of OT. Most (N= 68; 68%) of the EPTEs reported the presence of negative effects on their social life and (N= 30; 30%) of them reported high levels of financial overwhelming. In conclusion, the EPTEs had a limited and primitive profile of experience with OT during the COVID-19 outbreak in 2021. OT might not be the perfect teaching approach for Egyptian Physical therapy Colleges, especially for practical and clinical courses . . |
