Learning outcomes of the course :

Part 1 : Quality management and self-evaluation

...

Part 2 : Evidence Based Practice

The objective of this course is to provide the student with elements required to critically appraise the scientific data of his future professional activities, and his end of study work .

Part 3 : Documentary techniques for physical and re-educational activities

Evidence-based practice (EBP) in the field of health is based on a 5-step process (known as the five A's: Ask, Access, Appraise, Apply, Audit). The first three steps clearly refer to the methods of literature search. Students who complete the course will be able to: 1. Ask precise questions and use the answers to identify concepts (PICO); 2. Choose which resources to draw from, especially bibliographical databases such as Medline, PsycInfo, SPORTDiscus and EBM Reviews; 3. Use controlled language to develop efficient research equations: MeSH language (National Library of Medicine) and APA (American Psychological Association) or SIRC (Sport Information Resource Centre) thesauri; 4. Use the advanced features offered by major search engines: PubMed, Ovid, and EBSCOhost; 5. Use the quality indices available with bibliographical notices in order to select the most relevant publications.

Part 4 : Use of statistical software programmes

At the end of the course, the student should be able to use the main functions of Statistica
