Abstract

Collaboration Databases Learning Library catalogs Mapping Maps Personal development Transparency
The same year the Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Coordinating Centre (EPPI-Center) published a review of personal development planning for improving student learning, distinguishing between the systematic map of the research which been undertaken and the systematic synthesis of what the evidence says ( Gough, Kiwan, Sutcliffe, Simpson, & Houghton, 2003). See PDF] Systematic The type of evidence included The content of the map The structure of the map Transparency Visual or graphical display Accompanying description of map Intended users What is perhaps missing in the definitions is a more explicit statement that mapping commonly tells us what evidence there is, but not what this evidence says - though some maps do include information on effects. ‘An evidence and gap map is a systematic [visual] presentation of the availability of relevant evidence [of effects] for a particular policy domain. Scope and content of different evidence synthesis products Evidence maps may be a way of curating (or brokering) a body of evidence to make it accessible to users.
