A presentation given at the 2007 Canadian Health Libraries Association conference describing the results of a survey conducted to determine if providing advanced Google instruction meets the information needs of health care providers.
The survey of 200 student affairs staff found that while departments use data for planning, most respondents reported needing more training and assistance with assessment. Specifically, over half reported limited time and expertise in assessment and not knowing where to start. To address these needs, implications include providing small group training across departments, increasing understanding and use of assessment tools, and developing structures by leadership to support a culture of assessment through reporting, rewards, and dedicated time and space for training.
This survey collects information from teachers about their implementation of core reading programs and supplemental interventions. It asks teachers to indicate if various practices related to universal screening, guided reading, data-driven instruction, intervention grouping, and progress monitoring have been achieved with fidelity, are in progress, or have not yet started. The survey contains questions in two sections - one for core reading programs and one for supplemental interventions.
School counselors can use data to evaluate programs, measure outcomes, assess cost-effectiveness, make decisions, and monitor student progress. Data identifies needs, describes problems, discovers patterns, and targets interventions. It can convince stakeholders of the need for change, uncover otherwise invisible problems, confirm or discredit assumptions, and guide resource allocation. Focusing on data allows objective, evidence-based conversations and prevents overreliance on standardized tests or quick fixes. School counselors use various types of student achievement, psychosocial, career development, diversity, and school data to implement comprehensive, data-driven programs based on national models and local needs.
This document outlines several research questions and proposed methods for collecting data to answer each question. For the first question about how motivation affects students' perceptions, participation, focus, and assignment completion, the proposed tools are focus groups, observations, surveys, assignment tracking and portfolio checks. Data will be collected over one semester, with focus groups and surveys conducted monthly and other tools used daily.
For the second question on how technology changes student reactions to course materials, the tools of teacher interviews, observations, surveys and video recordings are proposed. Data collection would include daily video recordings and observations, and weekly surveys.
The third question on the effects of technology on learning skills proposes surveys at the end of each week, as well as records
Individualized education plans (IEPs) describe goals and support for students with disabilities or developmental delays. Assistive technology (AT) can help students with learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, and other conditions meet their IEP goals and participate in inclusion classrooms. A six-step process identifies appropriate AT for each student: collecting information about their needs and strengths, activities they have trouble with, indicators of success, brainstorming options, testing solutions, and reflecting on results to modify the plan. For students with ADHD, computer-based learning and exercise can help focus, while online to-do lists and communication with teachers and parents provide organization support.
This document discusses educational design and its relationship to outcomes research. It presents a model showing how educational design elements of learners, instructional design, and curriculum translate directly to outcomes design and measurement. The goal is to align these three design elements with the outcomes plan, assessment tools, and interpretation. It describes how the Kirkpatrick evaluation framework and Graham knowledge translation model can be adapted to measure outcomes at different levels, from changes in learning and practice to improvements in patient health. Effective educational design that engages learners and applies content to practice enables outcomes research to demonstrate the design's effectiveness.
- The document discusses a survey given to nursing students about their perceptions of using the Test Centre online assessment tool for a pathophysiology and pharmacology subject.
- Students were given 7 online review quizzes throughout the semester totalling 14% of their final grade to help maintain their study schedule.
- The survey asked about ease of use of Test Centre, whether more quizzes should be used, and if Test Centre is useful for different question types. 46% of students responded.
- Responses indicated Test Centre was found easy to use and a good way to check understanding, but students wanted more time per question and correct answers shown after tests.

This document discusses solutions and benefits for various aspects of a youth program, including: developing standardized curricula for different age groups; using social-emotional learning as a foundation; creating a new class for younger students; shortening the program length; improving intake processes; increasing program advertising through schools and community organizations; enhancing parent involvement through monthly classes; and allowing graduated students to participate in follow-up sessions. The overall aim is to present the program in a more positive light, improve success rates, reach more children, and strengthen family relationships to support the program.
This document summarizes key findings from three recent data sets about clinician learning:
1) Clinicians are increasingly using social media like Twitter (37%) and private networks (51%) for lifelong learning, and 60% believe it can improve patient care.
2) There is a trend away from live CME meetings and toward online CME and virtual courses. 53% of clinicians expect their online CME participation to increase in the next year.
3) Interviews found clinicians have four natural learning actions - note taking (85% are note-takers), reminders, searching for information, and learning socially. However, current learning environments do not adequately support these actions.
The document discusses lessons learned from a project. It addresses questions about the best approaches for learning and topics discussed. It also reviews risk management, communications management, and quality management for the project. Key lessons learned are that technology-enabled active learning and problem-based modules increased learning gains for students compared to traditional lectures. Visualizations also help students understand concepts that cannot be seen. Effective assessment is formative, collaborative, honors faculty time, makes differences between sciences explicit, and uses both quantitative and qualitative methods.

Presented at the virtual Georgia Libraries Conference in October 2020.
In Spring 2020, an assessment project was developed to assess the impact of library instruction to five Speech 102 classes. The assessment was administered in two parts using the immediate and follow-up surveys provided in the project OUTCOME platform. The immediate survey was administered via a print survey directly after the in-person instruction sessions. Due to the pandemic, the follow-up survey was administered six weeks after the instruction sessions via an online survey. This session will discuss using project OUTCOME, the findings of the assessment, and what librarians can learn from assessment projects during a semester of upheaval.
Tricky Terminology: Making Sense Of and Applying Research and Evidence-Based ...sondramilkie
This document discusses evidence-based, research-based, and evidence-informed approaches to programming. It defines evidence-based programs as those developed and evaluated through rigorous scientific studies, while research-based programs draw on published research but have not undergone the same level of evaluation. Evidence-informed programs use principles from effective programs to improve existing efforts, without a strong research base. The document provides examples of programs at different points on the continuum and discusses the benefits of more rigorous, evidence-based approaches.
This document summarizes a study on the use of group projects with online peer review in a nursing program. Students were assigned to groups of 5 and collaborated on projects about diabetes mellitus or colorectal cancer. The project had three stages, including a written report, peer review, and final report. Results found that peer feedback, teacher guidance, and clear guidelines helped students provide effective peer assessment and feedback. Students perceived teacher comments as more valid but the blended peer review approach improved learning and satisfaction.

The document describes a research project analyzing questioning techniques in further education. It involved observing lessons to classify questions, developing a questioning tool for teachers, and having teachers complete a survey on their own questioning. The observations found that most questions were low-order recall questions, with little wait time. The questioning tool provides a framework to help teachers plan for higher-order, open questions and reflection. Initial feedback from teachers indicated the tool would help improve their questioning practices.
This document discusses data collection methods, including secondary and primary data. Secondary data refers to data that has already been collected for other purposes, and can help identify problems, define research questions, and interpret primary data. However, secondary data may not be directly relevant or accurate for the current research problem. Primary data is originally collected by the researcher specifically for the research problem and can be qualitative or quantitative. Common primary data collection methods include surveys, interviews, and observations. Surveys are a widely used quantitative method that involve distributing questionnaires via mail, email, telephone or online. They have advantages of being low-cost and allowing large samples, but suffer from low response rates.
Sharon Mickan: Identifying Research Opportunities In Your Own Backyardwill wade
This document outlines various ways to develop a culture of research within an occupational therapy practice, beginning with small, achievable steps. It recommends starting with clinical audits to evaluate current practices, identify areas for improvement, and inform future research. Clinical audits employ similar methods to research, including clearly defining problems and questions, collecting and analyzing data systematically, and disseminating findings to improve patient care. Postgraduate study, journal clubs, facilitating research projects, and writing grant applications can also help foster inquiry and develop research skills over time. The goal is to establish a cycle of continuous quality improvement through evidence-based practice.
At the end of this presentation you will be able to:
Define evidence-based practice
Describe process & outline steps of EBP
Understand PICO elements & search strategy
Identify resources to support EBP
The focus of this presentation is nursing practice, although it is still of value to physicians and other health care professionals.
This document discusses evidence-based practice in education. It begins by explaining why evidence-based practice is needed using an analogy of a doctor prescribing medication without examining a patient. The document then outlines a model of evidence-based practice that uses multiple sources of evidence, including research, expertise, student data and context. It discusses some common misconceptions, such as evidence-based practice ignoring teacher expertise. Tools for evidence-based practice like the PICO framework for forming questions are introduced. The document concludes by presenting a theory of action for how evidence-based practice can improve student outcomes through changes in teacher and leader behavior.
