The balanced research instructions instructed participants to create a balanced argument that included both pros and cons and the unrestricted research instruction did not give any particular instructions on how to create the argument.
Overall, the results revealed that balance research instruction significantly increased the use of participants adding opposing information to their argument.
It is hoped that replacing previously non-integrated instruction with integrated, faculty-driven research instruction and materials will result in improved understanding of underlying principles, higher retention of foundation concepts, and enhanced critical evaluation in the appropriate clinical settings.
The human movement students were expected to have minimal knowledge of EBP, as at the time of the study these students were not required to enroll or be assessed in any EBP or research training course and were therefore not exposed to any formal standardised EBP or research instruction.

The participants were randomly assigned to write essays either for or against their side of the argument they preferred and given balanced or unrestricted research instructions.
In Year 4, all students conduct, in groups, a 160-h Community Research (CR) project on a health issue affecting the local community, supervised by a content expert, with research methods instruction from a research academic.
