Complete Discussion Post on vocational outcomes NO PALGIARISM

This discussion board will actually cover both chapters presented in Unit 7 (C. 10 & 12). Because you will be, or have been, going through a detailed process of reviewing and reporting on the VR process in your case management course, I didn’t want to have you repeat information. So, for these next 2 weeks you will be completing 2 article reviews and posting only once for a 10 point discussion board.

Both articles selected discuss vocational outcomes. One is focused on the IPE and client goals and outcomes while the other touches on differences seen in outcomes based on the race of the client who is a veteran. You will read both and answer the questions in your discussion for both articles (so 2 sets of questions and answers).

Here are the citations for each and links to where you can access them:

Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, 59(3), 158-171. doi:10.1177/0034355215579917

RTW outcomes for veterans

IPE outcomes and goals

For both articles you are to answer the following questions:

1. What question(s) does the research article hope to answer (i.e. the hypothesis)?

2. Briefly describe the methods used to conduct the research (qualitative vs quantitative, number of participants, data used).

3. Why is this research important?

4. What were the results of the study (what did the research find out that we didn’t know before)?

5. Were you surprised the results of the research?

6. How will you use this information as a practicing rehabilitation counselor?

You will have the entire unit to complete this discussion post in its entirety. However, you must complete your original post by November 1st or you will lose 2 points for it being late. This will be a substantial post with the 2 articles reviewed and I want to ensure that everyone has ample time to discuss each other’s opinions of the research. Once you have posted, you will be able to view your classmates’ posts and will comment on at least 2 other threads by the closing date of the unit, November 5th.

Here is the associated rubric, which is different than what is typically used:

Meets Expectations
