This module focuses on facilitating the understanding of research design and analysis by examining quantitative and qualitative methodologies. This will be built on the first hand experiences of data collection and analysis from Research and Evidence for Practice 1. The concept of critical thinking will be addressed and linked to assessment through the critical analysis of research papers. Philosophies which underpin research approaches will be reviewed. The implications of the nature and overall quality of professional research literature as evidence to inform practice will also be considered

Additional coursework information
Course Work: 100% : final summative assessment.
You will be assessed by a single, submitted written assignment. This will be comprised of two critical appraisals, each of 1500 words. Each critique will be written in essay style. For convenience, you may wish to have just one Reference List after the assignment text.
Students will be required to submit a critique of one qualitative and one quantitative research article, from a specified list of four articles, which can be down-loaded electronically from the Albert Sloman Library.
They will be concerned with general rehabilitation, not necessarily from a specific professional standpoint (OT or PT).
