Teaching/modeling the value of evidence-based practice
Hello, fellow educators. I have noticed over the years the importance of keeping up-to-date in the field. I want students to recognize that graduation does not mean learning is over, and to continue to seek out changes in the field. More than anything, I want them to be able to differentiate between the value of sources. For example, many do not understand the difference between wikipedia and peer-reviewed journals. I am looking for your ideas on teaching and modeling the value of evidence based practice.
Some ideas currently in use:
EBP reports on controversial topics in the practice area
Debates on controversial topics in the practice area
Differentiating between "because this is how I was taught" and "because this is what the evidence shows."
What have you found helpful in showing students to value research?
