This module will introduce students to research methods and statistics in psychology, including empirical design, hypothesis testing, and different types of data. This module will provide training in quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. The module (30 credits) includes 24 x 1.5 hours of lectures, 24 x 1.5 hours practical classes, and 10 x 1 hour small group practical sessions with Academic Advisors. By the end of the module successful students will be able to describe different research designs, qualitative analysis techniques and recognise appropriate statistical tests to be used for different types of data. Learning outcomes will be assessed in a Research Skills Portfolio, and two MCT/short answer examinations. Learning material will be available to students online (e.g., lecture slides, stream captured sessions, online activities, group discussion forum, formative and summative feedback).
