Documentary techniques for physical and rehabilitative activities in motor sciences

During their studies, students have many opportunities to become independent in terms of researching, evaluating and using scientific information. This course represents one such opportunity.
The purpose of this theoretical and practical course is to teach students how to research relevant scientific documents/information, using the most appropriate resources available in the library and on the web, developing a critical approach to the available information.
The knowledge and skills acquired on this course will be useful both throughout students' academic studies (for example, to supplement lecture notes or when producing work) and in their professional career (for example, in finding information to justify/support decisions in the context of "evidence-based practice").
The course focuses on the following topics:

• (advanced) research tools and methodologies to research information on motor skills, both directed towards the professional practice and/or to scientific research;
• management of bibliographical references (and documents) using reference management software;
• information monitoring.

Introduction to the statistical package R - Rcmdr
 

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.

Documentary techniques for physical and rehabilitative activities in motor sciences

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

• independently research - materials covered in class and using the most efficient research strategies - relevant scientific documentation and information requiring a "high level of proof ;
• manage their bibliographical references / documents using a reference management system;
• monitor their information.

Use of a statistical software

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

Documentary techniques for physical and rehabilitative activities in motor sciences

This course is based primarily on a series lectures. However, it is organised in such a way as to encourage students' active participation. Exercises are to be prepared at home. The completion of these exercises requires the use of a computer and the internet (students have access to various rooms equipped with computers and wireless terminals within the University). More information will be provided during the first class.
