In this, the final module within the Evidence for Practice in Occupational Therapy theme, students will undertake an independent review of literature in a topic of their choice. Following their review of the literature, they will propose future research.
Teaching and learning strategies include lectures, group tutorials and independent study to enable students to undertake the review. The assessment is presentation of the literature review and research proposal.
There are two summative assessment for this module, which comprise of a review of the literature and a proposal for future research or practice implementation.
The review of the literature is designed to emulate a journal article format, so that students can develop academic writing skills that would be authentic to future research practice.
The research proposal will be in the format of a funding application template, created by the teaching team from a mix of forms used by funders of occupational therapy research. Again, this aims to be authentic of future research practice.
