Literature review of recent academic papers.
Can you please find relevant published research papers for referencing preferably from the last 5 to 10 years. such as from the MEDICAL TEACHERS journal and medical teaching journal also things like BM, GM guidelines on support for medical students. i have added a many research papers below.
The aim of this project is:
• To explore the support provisions and preferences for students sitting supplementary exams
• To provide feedback and recommendations to the Faculty of Medicine regarding support provided for students sitting supplementary exams
.
This will be achieved by:
• A review of current literature
Exploring the perceptions and preferences of medical students at SOU Faculty of Medicine through semi-structured interviews
ALL Referencing in Vancouver style referencing.
The Research Project Report is marked using a structured scoring system and contributes 70% towards the final module mark. Students are required to submit a 5000-6000 word report that has the following sections: lay abstract (300 words), my contribution, acknowledgements, contents, introduction ( a 2000-3000 literature review), aims, methods, results, discussion and references. The assessment criteria for the report and weightings are shown below, detailed marking criteria are in resources.
Knowledge and conceptual understanding of background information (25%).
Description of the research methods used for the study (15%).
Data analysis, interpretation and presentation (25%).
Communication and contextualization (25%).
Adherence to presentation guidelines and formatting (5%).
Appropriateness, adequacy of referencing and consistent style (5%).
Introduction / Literature Review
Does the review clearly describe the background of the chosen subject area?
Does the review place the background of the work into the context of the wider scientific literature?
Does the review critically discuss the scientific literature in the subject area?
Is the review well laid out? With a natural progression to the project hypothesis and aims?
Aims
Are the aims of the project clearly stated?
Is the student’s contribution to formulating the research question clear?
Methodology
Is the methodology sufficiently explained/referenced?
Is there sufficient detail for the work to be replicated if required?
Results
Are the results well presented in a logical coherent order?
How well are the results analyzed and evaluated?
Discussion
Does the discussion relate the observations adequately to the existing literature?
Is the overall message of the project clear?
Referencing;
Has a Vancouver reference system been used appropriately?
Appendices;
Is the use of appendices appropriate? Or have they been used to avoid breaching the word limit?
General Points;
Is there evidence that the student understands the ethical implications of their work?
What evidence is there of a capacity for synthesis of ideas and the development of critical thinking?
Is the project concise, well written and coherent?
Does the project report explain adequately to a generalist the rationale behind the work and the implications for its outcome?
Does the project report communicate how the student arrived at the research question, the problems encountered in performing the work, and what the student learnt from the process?
Your work will play a part in the research paper which will just be for the literature review. The 2000 to 3000 word side of things.
if you can find common themes among the research papers of the types of support that medical students have found useful and not useful and what has worked in other similar environments and areas to best help students pass failed exams.
