Learning outcomes
|
This course focuses on the concept of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in the context of education and pedagogy. Students will be introduced to the theoretical foundations of EBP and its importance for improving the quality of teaching and decision-making in educational settings. The course emphasizes understanding the key phases of the EBP process, from formulating research questions and systematically searching for relevant sources to critically appraising scientific studies and applying findings in educational practice.
Throughout the course, students will develop essential skills for working with academic literature, including effective database searching, evaluating research quality, and interpreting findings. These competencies will be applied to real educational contexts to support informed and reflective decision-making.
