BACKGROUND: Simulation-based education (SBE) is a current teaching methodology characterized by providing realistic and effective environments, enhancing patient-professional clinical contact in a safe educational environment. Not all facilitators are trained to guide simulations in a systematic way. As a consequence, it is not possible to guarantee homogeneity of the methodology applied so that the simulations have better results in student learning. OBJECTIVES: 1) To evaluate the impact of the BSE training of the Physiotherapy degree facilitators on their teaching self-efficacy; 2) To evaluate the impact of the BSE on the perceived self-efficacy, academic commitment and empathy of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year Physiotherapy students; 3) To describe the degree of satisfaction and confidence in learning with respect to the BSE of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year Physiotherapy students. The qualitative phase aims to know the experiences of Physiotherapy students regarding the EBS. METHODOLOGY: Prospective quasi-experimental study of mixed methodology, in which simulation facilitators and students will be studied within the framework of the subjects Pràcticum I, III and V of the Physiotherapy degree of the FCSB. Students with a grade \<5 in any of the evaluative parts of these subjects and facilitators who have not completed the two proposed training sessions will be excluded. Demographic and teaching self-efficacy variables will be collected from the facilitators at 3 points in time: before and after the training and at the end of the period of simulations of Pràcticum I, III and V. EXPECTED BENEFITS: The present mixed methodology project is expected to bring benefits in the training of the facilitators of the EBS of the Physiotherapy degree, better methodological quality of the EBS carried out in the subjects Pràcticum I, III and V of the same degree; iii) A favorable impact on the perceived self-efficacy, academic behavior and empathy of the second, third and fourth year students of the Physiotherapy Degree; iv) To know the degree of satisfaction and confidence for learning shown by students who perform EBS in the Degree of Physiotherapy; v) To know the students' perception of the best educational practices in EBS performed in the Degree of Physiotherapy; vi) To know the experiences of the students of the Degree of Physiotherapy with respect to EBS.
