Explanation of the problem
-supported
Rationale
-supported, why the problem is
important to SRT, RT, population
Comments
-more support regarding the problem- how many neonates born
19/25
per year in Ontario; how is an RT involved with this population
-RT involvement if oxygenation/ventilation concerns
23/30 -what is it about respiratory infections that is concerning (one
time exposure vs recurrent/frequent)
-what does the group know about respiratory infections to
prepare for the research process

Question development
-emerges from explanation and
rationale, PICO explained/identified;
Research Question
-focused, from PICO, relevance
Overall quality of written work
-spelling/grammar, APA,
language/coherence, support
Total grade
Contribution to Final Grade
-Neonates – how is this defined; Asthma defined, and how is it
19/25 diagnosed
-reading the rationale should build up elements of the question so
that the reader can anticipate what the final question will be
-used terms “and/or” in question for a component (done in the
search)
3.75/5 The initial reaction to the question and the specific descriptors
“bacterial colonization” felt like a research article had influence
on the development of the question (Childhood Asthma After
Bacterial Colonization of the Airway in Neonates)
-the components are there for a relevant foreground question that
is simplified
Perhaps: Do bacterial respiratory infections or viral respiratory
infections in neonates lead to a future diagnosis of Asthma? –
answers to secondary questions may come out in the research
(the recurrent use of antibiotics or steroids as the underlying
cause)
- Uses basic but appropriate language, with a basic sense of
11.5/15 voice, some awareness of audience and purpose and some
attempt to vary sentence structure
-Demonstrate partial control of the conventions, exhibiting
occasional errors that do not hinder comprehension.
-more support in some areas
