Applied Research II

Catalog description

Building on knowledge from OTD 735 Applied Research I, this course provides students with a hands-on opportunity to conduct empirical research. Students will transition from theoretical understanding to practical application. Guided by the IRB proposal developed in the previous course, students will conduct a survey study, actively engaging in the research process from recruitment to data analysis. In conjunction with Evidence-based Practice, this course deepens students’ research knowledge by expanding their ability to locate, evaluate, and critically appraise scientific evidence. The course continues to reinforce the commitment to inclusive, culturally responsive research methodologies introduced in OTD 735 .
