OT 578 - Capstone I: Introduction & Search Method


This course represents phase one of three in the capstone development process. Students have the option to develop a critically appraised topic (CAT), based on a clinical or professional area of interest, or may pursue selection by a faculty-mentor to conduct ground-level research. During Capstone I, students will form a CAT or research team, explore topics of interest, generate a guiding research question, and identify foundational evidence to develop a rationale and justification for inquiry. Topics of discussion include research designs, data analysis, ethical policies and procedures for human-subject and educational research, and instructional designs, and the teaching and learning process.
