Spek, B.; Wieringa-de Waard, M.; Lucas, C.; van Dijk, N. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2013
Background: Worldwide speech-language therapy (SLT) students are educated in evidence-based practice (EBP). For students to use EBP in their future day-to-day clinical practice, they must value EBP as positive and must feel confident in using it. For curricula developers it is therefore important to know the impact their teaching has on these…
