Abstract
This practice-based example explores how Monash University Library used the research skill development (RSD) framework to develop an intensive orientation program for a diverse group of postgraduate nursing students. We addressed the needs of this mature-age, return to study, professional cohort by creating a three-day program that aimed to build transferability of skills required for successful research. The RSD framework guided us as educators in a number of ways, including providing a structure for the design of the workshops, creating a range of authentic materials that covered all phases of the research process and scaffolding the requisite research skills we wanted the students to develop. The workshops built students’ confidence, self-reliance and preparedness for undertaking this course.
