▶️ How did the idea for this course came up?

Thomas’ idea for this course originated from his perception that we need to do better in teaching students how to critically evaluate evidence.

The 12-week evidence based practice is a rich course (and fully open access)!

The module broadly fits four themes: 1) to identify, 2) evaluate, 3) synthesize and 4) apply evidence. 🤩

❣️In some courses students can be encouraged to listen to teachers and remember what they said, but Thomas set different goals to his course: to teach students to be inquisitive and to get the confidence to be independent thinkers.

✨ While this course is not strictly about Open Science, it teaches students many OS principles!

Check how Thomas weaves in principles of transparency, openness and reflection throughout the course while teaching students to evaluate evidence: https://youtu.be/1kG7dWuUS6c?si=WItwT5KJuyP7KGWE

📔 The course also includes different research epistemologies, teaching students to look at evidence using different perspectives and points of view.
