Knowledge Translation Activities 3. Your dataset GRADING (on 100 points): – 65 Points: Data Management + APA Report – Correct analyses, proper data-management, and obtained the expected results for your dataset. Report format, proper presentation and interpretation of results. – 35 Points: Knowledge Translation – Creativity, accuracy, thoroughness, and quality. This project assumes you are a researcher and that you conducted all phases of this research study (design, recruitment, data collection, analysis, results, and sharing results). 1. APA Report Instructions: Format: Your report should be in APA format and include the following sections (doubled spaced): – Title Page (1 page) – Methods (1 – 2 pages) – Results (1 – 2 pages + tables and figures) – Discussion (1 – 2 pages) – References (cite your measures + anything you add to your discussion) Here is a helpful resource for how to structure your paper in APA 7. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formattin g_and_style_guide/documents/20200128APA7StudPaper.pdf Tips for reporting statistics in APA format: https://www.statisticshowto.datasciencecentral.com/reporting-statistics-apa- style/ APA 6 Versus 7: APA 6 has been used for the last 10 years. There are a number of examples available for how to structure your paper that way if you want. APA 7 has less resources available online, but more flexibility in how you present your work. If you would like to look for additional examples, search for “APA Manuscript Examples”. Tables + Figures: If using APA 6, tables and figures should be referenced in text and appear at the end of your document with 1 table or figure per page. If using APA 7, you can use the same end-of-document format, or embed them in text. Title Page: Please include your name, student number, and a title that reflects your project. Methods: Should include the following sections: participants, measures, and analyses. Participants Section: Needs to include a minimum of 5 variables as well as the table containing the descriptive statistics for your categorical and continuous variables. Measures Section: Must include a paragraph for both measures. The paragraph must include the name of the measure, an example item, the scale it uses, a description of how the variable is calculated (i.e., recoding, sum, or mean), the interpretation of the score, the alpha, and the mean and standard deviation of the variable you created. Analyses Section: Must include the 4 research questions and how you will answer them (i.e., with which test). Results: This section should include a short paragraph for each analysis you ran, as well as a visualization of your results. The paragraph must contain the essential information for the test you ran (see examples from each week for the different types of analyses). Discussion: This section should contain a plain language interpretation of your study, as well as potential implications of your work. Keep in mind, for this fake study, you can assume you did all aspects of the project, so you can also highlight any limitations to this work and ideas for improving it. Discussion: Plain language summary of the results Link between main findings and existing literature (support or contradict it ) Critical discussion of the limitations of the research (methods, confound variables, etc.) Ideas for future research Potential Discussion Resources: https://www.scribbr.com/dissertation/discussion/ https://libguides.usc.edu/writingguide/discussion References: Please include an APA format reference list of any sources that were used to complete your work. 2. Knowledge Translation: This is the communication piece – your opportunity to translate the formal report into something interesting, eye-catching, and informative. You can draw on lessons from your other courses if applicable. You must submit the following: a. Tweet Highlighting the Findings: Maximum 280 characters (2020 twitter rules). Please note, you do not have to actually post the tweet, just write one out. Examples: b. Press Release: A short press release summarizing your research and findings (max 250 words).

Accessible Media: You must create one of: Infographic, video (YouTube, Instagram, etc.), or other product (please get it approved) summarizing the study you did in a way that is accessible to typical Canadians. The point here is to be creative! Here are some examples, but this is open. You are studying to become a communication expert, make it your own! Infographic: You have resources from the Module #10 Laboratory that you can look at for guidance. Also = Google! You do not have to use PowerPoint or Tableau Public – you are free to make your infographic using whatever platform you like. YouTube: A potential examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch v=GUpd2HJHUt8 o Lots of different ideas (Research StoryTellers Competition): https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/society-societe/storytellers- jai_une_histoire_a_raconter/index-eng.aspx If you select a video, it must be at least 30 seconds long, and no longer than 3 minutes. If you select the video, please provide a link as the file is likely too big for BrightSpace. Other: If you have any other ideas that you would like to do instead, please get it approved by Meredith. 3. Dataset: Please upload the final copy of your dataset in either EXCEL or CSV format. We will not be evaluating your dataset; however, if your report values do not match our marking grid for your dataset, we want to be able to look at your data and try and sort out what happened.
