- Corequisites:
- Course Description: This course provides an in-depth analysis of theoretical and methodological issues in rehabilitation science research, education and practice.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: Needed for new program/concentration/certificate
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? This course builds on knowledge gained in Introduction in Rehabilitation Sciences. This course will allow students to apply, analyze, and synthesize key concepts in rehabilitation sciences in order to successfully carry out doctoral research.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? No
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) USF faculty member who hold a research doctorate degree and is actively conduct research in a relevant field.
- Objectives: At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
1) apply the principles of research in rehabilitation sciences,
2) synthesize the levels of research evidence,
3) compare and contrast the relationships among experimental questions, design, and model domains,
4) apply the principles of evidence-based practice, quantitative and qualitative research, 5) apply the standard outcomes in rehabilitation sciences within research settings,
6) evaluate a variety of models of enablement, and
7) critically appraise health policy issues related to rehabilitation sciences.
- Learning Outcomes: At the end of this course, students will be able to critically evaluate and apply key principles for each objective listed above in preparation for the track-specific advanced courses and dissertation research.
- Major Topics: An in-depth analysis of (1) research in rehabilitation sciences; (2) research methods in rehabilitation sciences – levels of research evidence, experimental designs, outcome assessment; (3) enablement/disablement models; (4) health policy and rehabilitation sciences.
Instructor and learner centered approaches with use of direct instruction and cooperative learning including content experts, case-based tutorials, and instructional technology (print and electronic publishing, web-based applications), emphasizing active learning strategies.
- Textbooks: None. Readings will be provided electronically except in special circumstances. Readings and presentations will be available on USF’s e-learning platforms (e.g. Canvas) or its electronic journal system.
- Course Readings, Online Resources, and Other Purchases: Peer reviewed literature on contemporary research and evidence-based practice in the rehabilitation sciences will be emphasized.
- Student Expectations/Requirements and Grading Policy: Students will be expected to complete written examinations, oral presentations and discussions, and written assignments as determined by the course director. In addition to these requirements that will measure the attainment of learning goals, students are also evaluated on: professional behavior (by the course director), participation in group activities and assignments (by classmates), and ability to self-assess one’s own learning and professional growth.
- Assignments, Exams and Tests: Assignments will consist of written examinations, oral presentations, and written assignments as determined by the course director.
