In the third module in the Evidence for Practice in Occupational Therapy theme, students have the opportunity to produce research, being involved in real, authentic research projects, supported by members of the academic staff team. Students will consider research ethics, data collection methods, data analysis and dissemination of research. The assessment is a patchwork where students can demonstrate their learning throughout the module with a concluding narrative.
This module uses a variety of teaching and learning methods, including practical, hands-on experience with data collection and analysis, lectures, tutorials and on-line learning.
On-line learning will support and reinforce learning from lectures and group-work.
Self-directed study will enable students to prepare for their practical work and build the ‘patches’ for the assignment.
