Learning unit contents
At the University, many opportunities are offered to students to enable them to become independent in searching, evaluating and using scientific information. The course "Information systems approach in physiotherapy" represents one such opportunity.
The purpose of this theoretical and practical training is to teach students how to search relevant scientific documents/information, using the most appropriate resources available in the library and on the web and developing a critical approach on available information.
The knowledge and skills acquired on this course will be useful both throughout students' academic studies (for example, in completing lecture notes or producing work) and in their professional career (for example, in finding information to justify/support a decision in the context of the "evidence-based practice").
The course focuses on the following topics:
- scientific literature in physiotherapy;
- tools for retrieval of specialized information pertaining to physiotherapy;
- the process of information literacy.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- define the concept of "information literacy" ;
- describe the features and functioning principles of the different resources and tools serving to optimize scientific information searching ;
- search relevant scientific information in physiotherapy.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
There are no prerequisites for this course. However, familiarity with using computers and having a minimum knowledge of scientific English are an advantage.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
This course is based primarily on a series of taught sessions. However, these sessions are organized so as to encourage students' active participation. Exercices should be prepared at home.
