Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study follows a pre-post quasi-experimental design without a control group. Primary outcomes include students' beliefs, attitudes, perceived skills, and frequency of EBP application, assessed through a custom-developed and validated questionnaire. Secondary outcomes include academic engagement, measured using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale - Student Version (UWES-S), and student satisfaction with the educational approach, measured using the Student Outcomes Survey. Data were collected at baseline, post-intervention, and one week after course completion.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The intervention was implemented as part of a four-month Research Methods course and included weekly group-based activities such as literature retrieval, critical appraisal, oral presentations, peer feedback, and structured assessments using rubrics. The course aimed to strengthen students' beliefs, attitudes, perceived skills, and frequency of use related to EBP.
Outcomes were assessed using a custom-developed and validated questionnaire covering four domains and key competencies in EBP. Secondary outcomes included academic engagement, measured with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale - Student Version (UWES-S), and student satisfaction, assessed through the Student Outcomes Survey. Data collection occurred at baseline, at the end of the course, and one week after completion. The study followed TREND reporting guidelines and was approved by the institutional research ethics committee at UNLaM.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Active Learning Group
Participants in this arm are fourth-year undergraduate physiotherapy students enrolled in a Research Methods course. They will receive a four-month educational intervention based on active learning strategies, including weekly group-based activities such as literature search, critical appraisal, structured presentations, peer feedback, and formative assessment using rubrics. The aim was to improve beliefs, attitudes, perceived skills, and frequency of use of evidence-based practice.
Active Learning-Based Research Methods Course
A four-month educational intervention based on active learning strategies, delivered as part of a Research Methods course for fourth-year undergraduate students in physiotherapy. The intervention included weekly group activities focused on literature retrieval, critical appraisal, oral presentations, peer feedback, and structured formative assessments using rubrics. The aim was to improve beliefs, attitudes, perceived skills, and frequency of use of evidence-based practice.
