Lost in Translation: Helping Students Understand Scholarly Works

Comprehending and applying the information contained in scholarly articles can be challenging for undergraduate and graduate students for a variety a reasons. To help students develop greater literacy relative to scholarly works, we developed an exercise where students work independently and collaboratively to extract information from journal articles and translate findings into understand evidence-based practice that can be applied in organizations. In our MOBTS session, we will explain the exercise and practice translating “Academicese” into English understandable by students and practitioners.
