After this educational entity, the student will have sufficient knowledge to correctly interpret scientific indicators used in the formation of BA.
Specifically, it correctly interpret graphical representations of data and key indicators of descriptive statistics. It may also have access to sources of scientific information (consultations of databases, references ...)
Main themes
The main subjects to meet these objectives will be:
- Construction and interpretation of graphs
- Descriptive analysis of data (concept of sample, indicators of average and dispersion, interpretation of level of service ...)
- Search for library materials, database consultation and construction of a thematic bibliography.
This introduction to the processing and analysis of scientific data will be made from specific materials to EDPH or KINE.
Content and teaching methods
Description:
Theoretical:
o Different types of data,
o Concepts of population and sample
o absolute frequency tables, cumulative frequency of relative frequencies and cumulative relative frequencies,
o Representation of data in tables and graphs,
o Key indicators of central tendency,
o Key indicators of dispersion,
o Concept of probability,
o normality distribution
o Hypothesis homoscédasticité,
o parametric tests and nonparametric tests,
o Comparisons of 2 and several medium and 2 or more rows means (for dependent or independent samples) (concept of post-hoc)
o Comparisons of proportions (and conditions of use of different tests),
o Relations between continuous variables, calculation of correlation and interpretation of correlation coefficients,
o Coefficient of determination
o Relationship between variables.
