Based on 10 articles provided and TOE put together bullet points sentences to organize on a paper and
PowerPoint presentation.
Evidence:
The best evidence is clearly & concisely summarized
Conclusion:
Questions:
Questions should be prepared for the audience in case they ask none
*This is what teacher wants in the PowerPoint to help build in above topics: It is a 15-minute overview of
major findings from your review of the literature and most importantly, the implications you have developed from
the review for clinical practice or research. Whether or not the review provides strong support for a change
in clinical practice, you must be very specific about your recommendations.
These are questions she stated to focus:
-What were the common themes throughout the articles?
-Were the articles studying the same/different variables?
-Were the findings the same/different?
-How do the main objectives/purposes of the researchers affect -how the studies were designed/carried
out?
-Discuss the levels of evidence and how that affects the credibility of the findings.
-How did the design of the studies affect the outcomes?
-Discuss the reliability and validity of findings. (Focus heavily on this part. It doesn’t matter what the findings say
if they aren’t reliable/valid, so fully evaluate them based on the criteria from the textbook. Discuss the
different types of reliability/validity. Be very specific.)
-Is the evidence contradictory? If so, why might this be so? (i.e. One study is more reliable than the other.)
