> Student work placements in systematic research synthesis
>
> The EPPI-Centre at the Social Science Research Unit (SSRU), Institute of
> Education (IOE) - University of London, has recently made available a
> small number of paid work placements for students interested in
> systematic research synthesis and evidence informed policy and practice.
>
> These work placements will consist of supervised work for between 20 and
> 30 hours alongside SSRU staff on current EPPI-Centre research projects.
> They will be of particular interest to students taking the IOE's new MSc
> in Evidence for Public Policy and Practice
> (http://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/Default.aspx?tabid=692) for the academic
> sessions 2006-7 and 2007-8 (start dates: 8 January 2007, 2 October 2007,
> and 7 January 2008).
>
> New courses
>
> We have just launched the second and third modules of the new MSc in
> Evidence for Public Policy and Practice. This MSc equips students with
> conceptual and practical skills for conducting and appraising systematic
> reviews and evaluating the potential for the use of research evidence to
> inform policy and practice. It covers a range of policy areas,
> questions, and both qualitative and quantitative study types.
>
> The following are our new modules. Both can be taken as short courses,
> without MSc coursework:
>
> * Evidence for policy, practice and personal decisions (15, 22 & 29
> January and 5 February 2007) - This module analyses the relationship
> between research, other evidence and policy, practice and personal
> decisions. It explores methods for improving the fit between research
> and collective or individual actions. Further information:
> http://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/Default.aspx?tabid=695
> * Methods for Research Synthesis (25 April and 2, 9 & 16 May 2007) -
> This module covers the theory, purpose and practicalities of synthesis
> and the quality appraisal of primary studies for different types of
> synthesis. It examines both 'quantitative' and 'qualitative' approaches
> to reviewing including statistical meta analysis, meta-ethnography and
> 'narrative' methods. Further information:
> http://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/Default.aspx?tabid=696
