For your Module 2 Pre-Assessment, respond to the following prompts. These prompts match those in your final Assessment.
Prompts:
You will develop a narrated Clinical Inquiry PowerPoint Presentation describing your search process for locating research on a clinical issue of interest. You will also complete a Research Methodology Matrix in which you will analyze the research methodologies described in selected peer-reviewed articles.
To prepare:
- Review the following: Research Matrix
- Note: You are required to focus on the same clinical issue of interest in the competencies EB002–EB006.
Part 2: Research Methodologies
- Use the Research Methodology Matrix to analyze the methodologies applied in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected previously. Your analysis should include the following (in 1–2 pages):
- The full citation of each peer-reviewed article, in APA format.
- A brief (1 paragraph) statement explaining why you chose each peer-reviewed article and/or how it relates to your clinical issue of interest, including a brief explanation of the ethics of research related to your clinical issue of interest.
- A brief (1- to 2-paragraph) description of the aims of the research of each peer-reviewed article.
- A brief (1- to 2-paragraph) description of the research methodology used. Be sure to identify if the methodology used was qualitative, quantitative, or a mixed-methods approach. Be specific and provide examples.
- A brief (1- to 2-paragraph) description of the strengths of each of the research methodologies used, including reliability and validity of how the methodology was applied in each of the peer-reviewed articles that you selected.
Once you submit your responses, assess yourself using the rubric provided. Use your Pre-Assessment submission and any feedback you may garner to improve and refine your responses.
Use the following rubric to assess your response to the prompts:
