This course adopts a basis and critical perspective of Needs Led Research. The process linked to the first step in the research pathway dealing with the identification and prioritization of research issues. Needs Led Research is characterized by two parallel processes; user involvementandidentification and verification of evidence gaps by systematic searches in databases.

User involvementis characterized by processes in which users/stakeholders (eg patients, relatives, health workers) suggest, discuss, prioritize and agree on research questions they consider important. Several frameworks and methodologies for user involvement in research exist, of which the most relevant ones will be focused on in this course.

Identification and verification of evidence gaps, being the core of evidence-based research, is based on a systematic and transparent review of existing research in order to guide new studies in answering relevant and valid research questions. The course will focus on how to identify, verify and document evidence gaps by systematically searching the existing evidence.

The course will be run as a five-day course over three months.

I INTER1300 «Tverrprofesjonelt samarbeid om og med barn og unge» inngår to felles seminardager, digitale læringsressurser og oppgaver knyttet til tverrprofesjonelt gruppearbeid og selvstudier.

Universitetets læringsplattform brukes for kommunikasjon, informasjon, kunnskapsinnhenting og kunnskapsutvikling. Studentene får tilgang til faglige tekster og/eller interaktive oppgaver, informasjon, pensum og caser på universitetets læringsplattform..

Studenten forventes å sette seg inn i den digitale ressursportalen, for INTER1200 i forkant av den obligatoriske seminardagen.

Studentene blir delt inn i tverrprofesjonelle grupper på 8 - 10 studenter. Gruppene blir tildelt en veileder som enten er vitenskapelig ansatte, masterstudenter fra aktuelle fagmiljøer ved universitetet, eller profesjonsutøvere fra praksisfeltet

Arbeidskrav

Følgende arbeidskrav må være godkjent:

• Gjennomført individuell logg, omfang 300 ord, +/- 10 prosent, levert i individuell mappe. Loggen skrives på bakgrunn av deltakelse i seminar over to dager

Dersom en student ikke har møtt på hele eller deler av seminar eller gruppearbeid, må studenten utføre en kompensatorisk oppgave.

On completion of the course, the PhD candidate has achieved the following learning outcomes, defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and competence:

Knowledge

The PhD candidate:

• has an outstanding insight into the most relevant methodologies for user involvement in decision-making processes for identifying relevant research questions
• is at the forefront of knowledge about how to identify and verify evidence gap.

Skills

The PhD candidate can:

• identify, facilitate and use the most suitable methodology in which users/stakeholders suggest, discuss, prioritize and agree on research questions they consider important, in a given context/study
• identify, verify and document evidence gaps by systematically searching the existing evidence, that is, conducting literature searches and selecting relevant and high-quality articles

​​​​​​​General competence

The PhD candidate can:

• utilize processes for user involvement, as well as identification and verification of evidence gaps, in order to identify relevant and unanswered research questions.
• facilitate Needs Led Research in close collaboration with the relevant field of practice
• develop project management and communication skills.

Work and teaching methods consist of lectures, seminars, small group work and discussions, self-study, and practical exercises. In the seminars the students will present and discuss the status of their work and progress in plenary sessions.

None

Individual home examination, to be submitted no more than two weeks after the end of the course. The candidates must submit an essay, which will describe the background and validation of the Needs Led Research questions to be answered. The essay, consisting of up to 5000 words, must describe the methodology and process for developing the Needs Led Research questions. This includes description of the process for user involvement, as well as the process for identification and verification of evidence gaps.
