摘要

背景/目标研究生的就业能力很复杂,已经超越了特定学科技能足以获得研究生级别工作的概念,现在包括了重要的可转移技能。运动疗法是一个快速发展的专业,专注于肌肉骨骼疾病的评估、治疗和康复。这些方面包括批判性思维、解决问题、人际交往技能和沟通,因此课程可以为毕业生在行业内外的职业生涯做好准备。本研究的三个目的是调查体育治疗理学学士(荣誉)毕业生,以确定他们目前的就业状况和工作角色,探索毕业生在本科课程中的经历,并调查毕业生对该课程为他们以后的就业做好了多好准备的看法。方法对来自英国两所大学的体育治疗理学学士(荣誉)毕业生进行调查,了解他们在本科学位课程中的经历,以及他们对该课程为他们的就业做好了多好的准备的看法。该调查分发给了大约150名毕业生,回复率为23%(35名毕业生)。描述性统计用于描述对多项选择题的回答,并对自由文本回答进行主题分析。结果总体而言,43%的受访者受雇于体育治疗师,需要他们的学位才能找到工作。共有71%的受访者认为他们的学位为他们的就业提供了全部或部分条件。自由文本回复产生了三个主题,涉及运动治疗特定技能、工作可用性和基于工作的学习机会。管理学生的期望,继续接触各种可用的职业机会,培养学生的特定科目技能、“软”或可转移技能以及个人特征,都有助于提高就业能力。结论课程应对不断变化的就业形势的需求保持敏感,因此,鼓励以学生为中心的方法,并支持就业机会,以帮助提高毕业生的就业能力。

Sports therapists’ perceptions and experiences of graduate employment
Background/Aims Graduate employability is complex and has moved beyond the notion of subject-specific skills being sufficient for acquiring a graduate level job, to now include important transferable skills. Sports therapy is a rapidly expanding profession focusing on assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions. These facets encompass components of critical thinking, problem solving, interpersonal skills and communication, thus courses can set graduates up for careers within or outside the industry. The three aims of this study were to survey BSc (Hons) Sports Therapy graduates to determine their current employment status and job role, explore graduates’ experience of their undergraduate programme and investigate graduates’ perceptions of how well the programme had prepared them for subsequent employment. Methods BSc (Hons) sports therapy graduates from two British universities were surveyed regarding their experience of their undergraduate degree programme and their perceptions of how well the programme had prepared them for employment. The survey was distributed to approximately 150 graduates and had a response rate of 23% (35 graduates). Descriptive statistics were used to describe the responses to the multiple-choice questions and thematic analysis was performed on free-text responses. Results Overall, 43% of respondents were employed as sports therapists and needed their degree to get their jobs. A total of 71% of respondents felt that their degree had equipped them fully or partly for employment. Free-text responses generated three themes relating to sports therapy specific skills, job availability and work-based learning opportunities. Managing student expectations, continued exposure to the range of career opportunities available and developing students subject-specific skills, ‘soft’ or transferrable skills, as well as personal characteristics, can help with employability. Conclusions Courses should be sensitive to the demands of a changing employment landscape and, as such, encourage a student-centred approach and support placement opportunities to help with graduate employability.
