Evidence-Based Practice: decision making when making a selection should be at the intersection of the three things—best available research evidence, client/population characteristics, state, needs values and preferences AND resources including practitioner expertise. Even if something is backed up by research, it does not mean it will meet the population of your class if the research was done on different subjects.
Two main types of research that count for Evidence Based Practice—Qualitative vs. Quantitative. Quantitative research has to do with numbers and Qualitative has to deal with words. They also differ in these five areas:—Objective/purpose—qualitative research would be asking people how something feels to them, collecting words about how something feels, quantitative would be collecting number data on something by checking things like scores or a number scale on how the feel about something. Data collection—the difference lies in how you collect the data, quantitative will be much faster. Data Analysis—When using Qualitative you look for things like themes, things like reward structure, in quantitative you come up with a hypothesis before collecting the data then discover if you’re right after collecting the data. Outcome—the outcome of Qualitative research will give you ideas to do what next, helps you come up with ideas for quantitative research. However it goes both ways, after issuing a survey to 500 kids, then you can interview some why they chose what. There is somewhat of a war between which one is better, most people like qualitative research in education, psychology people usually like more quantitative research. There is a compromise which is called mixed methods, you try to use both, maybe start with quantitative to see what programs are good, the use qualitative to interview a smaller population about why they chose what they chose, or the other way around,
