|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Synthesized findings | Type of research |
Dependability | Credibility | ConQual score | Comments |
| 1. Perceived significance of being present Students and therapists/instructors perceived that being present in movement was central to learning and teaching movement |
Qualitative | Moderate (downgraded one level*) | Moderate (downgraded one level**) | Low | Dependability: downgraded due to the dependability of the (6) primary studies: one study addressed five, two addressed four and three addressed two of the five dependability questions. Credibility: downgraded due to a mix of unequivocal and credible findings (5 U, 22C). |
| 2. Perceived significance of movement quality Therapists/instructors perceived that understanding and guiding movement quality was central to learning and teaching movement |
Qualitative | Moderate (downgraded one level*) | Moderate (downgraded one level**) | Low | Dependability: downgraded due to the dependability of the (6) primary studies: one study addressed five, three addressed four and two addressed two of the five dependability questions. Credibility: downgraded due to a mix of unequivocal and credible findings (6 U, 18C). |
| 3. Perceived significance of movement transfer Students and therapists/instructors perceived that enhancement of movement transfer was central in learning and teaching movement |
Qualitative | Moderate (downgraded one level*) | Moderate (downgraded one level**) | Low | Dependability: downgraded due to the dependability of the (17) primary studies: three studies addressed five, nine addressed four and five addressed two of the five dependability questions. Credibility: downgraded due to a mix of unequivocal and credible findings (20 U, 45C). |
| 4. Perceived significance of contextual factors Therapists/instructors perceived that acknowledgement of contextual factors was central to learning and teaching movement |
Qualitative | Moderate (downgraded one level*) | Moderate (downgraded one level**) | Low | Dependability: downgraded due to the dependability of the (12) primary studies: three studies addressed five, six addressed four and three addressed two of the five dependability questions. Credibility: downgraded due to a mix of unequivocal and credible findings (1 U, 25C). |
