1. Introduction of the Iowa Model Watch the following video.

2. Development of a PICO Question


Part 1: Background Question/Information:
Prior to developing the PICO question, secure some background information that will provide you with more information related to the topic you have been assigned. Cite the references used for the background information in the space provided below. (For example, if you are seeking more information on a phenomenon/topic of interest, information may be gleaned from textbooks, professional practice guidelines, and other resources). The background questions you address for prepare you for developing the foreground question(s) which is the clinical question or even a research question. The PICO Format provided structure for developing the question. The foreground question(S) provides the opportunity to identify what has been published related to the phenomenon/topic of interest. (PLO A, B, C)
1. For this assignment, identify a phenomenon/topic of interest to you. This may be any topic but must pertain to clinical nursing or practice, nursing education or other appropriate area of nursing. You will be developing this topic into a full research proposal during the reminder of the course. Make sure it is one that captures you interest and can be developed into a research question.
2. Write an introduction to the topic and provide background related to the significance to the problem.
3. Identify the type of clinical question that is being developed. (see information in the video regarding type of questions)
4. Secure three to five scholarly sources that provide background information and significance of the topic.
5. Describe the next step from the Iowa model pertaining to the PICO question.
6. Review the videos located in additional resources related to Iowa Model and developing a PICO question.

Part 2: Develop the foreground question (PICO Question):.
1. Develop the clinical question, using the PICO format described below.
2. Complete the form
3. Provide the key words that would be used to initiate a literature review.
4. Combine parts one and two of this assignment into one narrative word document and submit in Blackboard.

 

 

Sample Solution

Modern neuroscience is still very young but is having a significant impact on educational thinking, mainly because of the wow factor. While it is giving us new insights into the learning process, we have to be careful simply because many of its findings are still conjectural. It is also a two-edged sword as people with anti-technology agendas are using it to promote their arguments. Over the coming three to five years we will see new discoveries, the refining and/or rejection of theories, and the need to make sure that education technology engages with the field in a mutually beneficial way.
The key findings that are significant from a technology point of view are as follows:
1. The optimum experiences through which the brain learns are more in tune with gaming than formal education. Repeated trial and error with constant failure, short tasks and rewards, multi-sensory input with an emphasis on visual 3d and a sense of ‘false danger’ all massively boost cognition and create a sense of immersion.
2. Emotional security has a massive physical impact on cognition. Safe, positive and emotionally secure situations are necessary for learning. This underscores the need to tackle cyberbullying.
3. Certain activities are better suited to non-technological solutions. A good example is texts. Neuroscience indicates that reading a physical book boosts cognition and enhances a wide range of skills to a greater extent than reading text on a virtual screen. We are already seeing a move back towards books in the classroom, especially in literacy classes.
4. The impact of screen use on developing minds continues to be controversial. There is no peer-reviewed evidence that iPads and phones negatively affect development. The moral panic about screen use is similar to the moral panics about novels, films, TV, comics and video nasties that the popular press whipped up over the last two hundred years. We do need to be mindful of the arguments coming out of this quarter and respond to them in a measured way, backed up by robust statistical evidence.
5. A number of theories that still have currency in education have been refuted. These include Left Brain/Right Brain theories and Multiple Learning Styles or Intelligences (the VAK model). We must make sure that we no longer refer to, or use these theories to inform product and marketing, even if some of our clients still use it in their practice. Similarly, we must avoid inventing our own theories of education and learni
