INTRODUCTION: Our research was carried out to investigate the use of measurement and evaluation methods proposed in the National Core Education Program of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation undergraduate programs. METHODS: Official websites of the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation programs, which are in the top 10 within the health sciences faculties of public universities, were examined. RESULTS: Data of a total of 374 courses were reached in ten universities.

... he measurement and evaluation methods used in these courses were recorded as exam (n = 374; 100%), homework (n = 165; 44.11%), practice (n = 106; 28.34%), presentation (n = 103; 27,54%), individual work (n = 76; 20.32%), class participation (n = 68; 18.18%), project (n = 55; 14.70%), attendance (n = 50; 13,36%), internet browsing (n = 36, 9.62%), library study (n = 36; 9.62%), laboratory (n = 33; 8.82%), field study (n = 26;% 6.95), mini exam (n = 26; 6.95%), reading activities (n = 20; 5.34%), preparing a presentation (n = 13; 3.47%), seminar (n = 8; 2.13%), material design (n = 3; 0.80%) and report preparation (n = 2; 0.53%). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the skills-based and performance-based measurement and evaluation methods proposed in the National Core Education Program, which are designed to effectively evaluate the competencies planned to be acquired for students, are used less than other methods in undergraduate programs. For this reason, it is considered that the undergraduate program education plans need to be updated according to the National Core Education Program of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation.
