Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 7   EBP 0934 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Does the Approach Fit the Purpose?

Captions available

The idea

Appraisal asks whether the research approach fits the study's purpose, and whether its language and concepts are consistent with that approach.

In practice

A study of meaning using a tradition suited to meaning, and using its vocabulary correctly.

Where people slip

Mixed vocabulary across traditions is a signal. A study describing bracketing and constant comparison in the same method section needs explaining.
