Learning unit contents
At the University, many opportunities are offered to students to enable them to become independent in searching, evaluating and using scientific information. This course represents one such opportunity.
The purpose of this theoretical and practical training is to teach students how to search relevant scientific documents/information, using the most appropriate resources and developing a critical approach on available information.
The knowledge and skills acquired on this course will be useful both throughout students' academic studies (for example, in completing lecture notes or producing work) and in their professional career (for example, in finding information to justify/support a decision in the context of the "evidence-based practice").
The course focuses on the following topics:
- scientific literature in psychological sciences, speech and language therapy, and educational sciences;
- tools for retrieval of specialized information pertaining to these scientific fields;
- the process of information literacy;
- plagiarism and rules on citing references.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- define the concept "evidence-based practice" ;
- describe the features and functioning principles of the different resources and tools serving to optimize scientific information searching ;
- search relevant scientific information;
- cite their references when writing a document.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
