OTD 8001 Research Methods in Occupational Therapy 3.0 Credits
This course is designed to prepare the student for the Occupational Therapy Doctoral Capstone project. A range of Doctoral Capstone options will be covered, including, but not limited to a systematic review, a qualitative or quantitative study, and program/manual development. Topics also will include searching, evaluating and synthesizing relevant research literature, developing a research question from the literature or from practice, introduction to systematically collecting and coding data (qualitatively or quantitatively), learning about an appropriate research or program evaluation design and data analysis method. The course will culminate in a well-developed idea for a doctoral capstone project (acceptable to the Doctoral Capstone Design instructor and doctoral capstone mentor).
