Greetings from AZ & ASU Lbrs I’m SH & this is my college EW Ellen & I are delighted to be here and are eager to share our exper’s teaching students to formulate a research questions using PICO

Since 1997, Health Science Librarians have Taught PICO in academic&workplace settings As you learn about PICO’s origins, you learn that it is the first info literacy skill taught in the EBP research process but how does it translate to other disciplines? Do we know, if asking a research question is difficult for students across disciplines? Is EBP migrating into other professions, industr’ Do librarians see this as a major information literacy skill that they should teach?

a·cu·men /əˈkyo͞omən/ The PIL report’s findings revealed that: “ defining a research inquiry was overwhelming for students” Students “lacked research acumen for framing inquiry” Findings collection from over 8,000 students 25 US colleges and universities Sophomores, juniors, seniors 2010 National Research Study University of Washington Information School
Additional results reported students experiencing problems getting started, defining a topic, narrowing the topic, knowing if job is done, knowing if finished with process
Because “ defining a research inquiry is the fundamental research competency for completing college course assignments yet it stymied over two-thirds of the students in our sample” the PIL study recommends… Page 38

READ slide first Of all the results, this was most poignant and timely to me. We don’t know if the PIL study done before 2000 would have had the same results, but we do know that increasing accountability in the workplace for best practices and the integration of new research – should get the attention of universities because we must prepare our students to be evidence-based across disciplines, industries.
You can see how 21 st century pedagogical teaching methods are Driven by workplace demands but just as the front-line practitioner faced a new accountability, so did the researcher. One of ASUs instructional imperatives is to “conduct use-inspired research”. What good does it do for the front-line practitioner to know how to formulate a question, search, find, read, and apply the research, if the research is not relevant to the workplace?

Of few randomly scanned guides, many identified the stages that the developing question can go through from, i.e. from broader to narrower but the “common advice” in many guides did Not prompt/teach the student to identify research elemts Research elements cannot be “mystery” elements, if students are required to know them to form a Focused question, search, and successful research paper.
How do we teach students to formulate a search question using PICO? I’ll begin w/an explanation of PICO and the “ question formulation process”.

In this slide, you find add’l synonyms, and augmented list of synonyms to represent the “P” in PICO. Ellen & I explored other synonyms that translate better across disciplines, And still prompt identification of research elements to be identified. But, in our research, we discovered that EBPs had already begun to incl ops.

The early developers did incorporate trad.“common advice” into formul’ process. a novice asks two questions a “background question” prompted by 5Ws usually self-direct’d to build knowledgebase lays foundation for asking the “ foreground question”, using PICO Possible Handout
Objective 2 Empower students’ search strategy First, teach students to search keywords for Population & Intervention. Expert searchers recommend this strategy in the Cochrane Handbook, 2011, xxxx. An observed favorite strategy of faculty and students is to search keywords for Population and Intervention in the TITLE field, a powerful search field that most databases support. Objective 3 Empower students’ search strategy A favorite because increases chances of retrieving a few highly relevant articles Keywords as major topics desired relationship between Population & Intervention.
When we move out of the health sciences, it’s sometimes difficult to identify the PICO elements. The background research and question is essential to helping identify those. Who is affected or What is the problem? AND How can it be resolved or Why is this happening?
