The purpose of the study was to identify and describe the characteristic profiles of evidence-based practice competence of educators in the social, health and rehabilitation sectors and to establish relevant background factors.
This study was carried out as a descriptive cross-sectional study.
Data were collected from social, health and rehabilitation sector educators working in the 21 Finnish universities of applied sciences and seven vocational colleges (n = 422; N = 2,330). A self-assessment instrument measuring evidence-based practice competence was used. Competence profiles were formed using a K-cluster grouping analysis.
Three distinct competence profiles were identified and delineated. Most educators feel that they can guide students' critical thinking and are able to seek and produce scientific knowledge. Evidence-based practice competence was explained by background factors such as year of graduation (for higher degree), level of education, job title, current employer and current field of work.
本研究旨在识别和描述社会、健康和康复领域教育工作者循证实践能力的特征概况,并确定相关的背景因素。
本研究采用描述性的横断面研究设计。
从在 21 所芬兰应用科学大学和 7 所职业学院工作的社会、健康和康复领域教育工作者中收集数据(n=422;N=2330)。使用了一种自我评估工具来衡量循证实践能力。使用 K-聚类分组分析形成能力概况。
确定并描绘了三种不同的能力概况。大多数教育工作者认为他们能够指导学生的批判性思维,并能够寻求和产生科学知识。循证实践能力由背景因素解释,如毕业年份(高等学位)、教育水平、职称、现任雇主和当前工作领域。
