Evidence-based medicine In talks on patient care, the term "research" is frequently used. Nursing/midwifery as a profession has a responsibility to teach their students with a primary focus on research-based practise. Evaluation is a crucial component in education that determines what and how students chose to study, and learning is generally based on the quality of assessment. The usage of a learning log is one prominent way for supporting learning and assessment.

The instructors' ambition to be innovative when teaching a research module drove the use of a learning record lesson to students who frequently believe that research is a difficult and unpleasant subject to study.
