Abstract
The seebeds projects of investigation seeks to enhance the research culture in an university context, so this research aims to know the experience of the students about the formative investigation process in the aquatic neurorehabilitation seebeds project. This is a qualitative phenomenological study with intentional and opinion sampling. The sample was made up of eight 5th-year Physical Therapy students at the University of Playa Ancha who actively participate in the aquatic neuro kinesitherapy seebeds and who have expressed their willingness to participate in the research. Data collection procedure: semi-structured and conversational individual interviews were used, collecting in-depth data to describe lived experiences and emotions of the students participating in the seebeds, and thus understand the meaning of the study phenomenon from their own subjectivity. A thematic analysis was carried out, using the description and / or interpretation of the data's content. Three emerging themes emerge from the analysis: influential factors in research training, emotional regulation in the teaching-learning process and challenges towards transference in clinical practice. The linking of the subjects of Swimming and Kinesic Techniques I and II, of the Physical Therapy curriculum, added to the collaborative work of co- participation between students and academics in the seebeds type formative research processes, is favorable for the consolidation of investigative knowledge, promotion of self-regulation and emotional co- regulation in teaching-learning processes and disciplinary clinical integration in initial training in Physical Therapy.
