Aims, contents and method of the course
Aims and content: The course serves as an introduction to empirical-scientific methods in the field of Psychology. Contents relate to study planning, types of study, methods of data collection, study designs, evaluation methods and quality criteria. After successfully completing the course, students should know the basic principles of empirical research, their different approaches (quantitative, qualitative, …) and areas of application in the field of Psychology. Furthermore, after completing the course, participants should be able to assess the quality of published studies based on the content discussed. With regard to statistical methods, students should know the different areas of application of descriptive statistical and inferential statistical methods and know when which of the methods discussed should be used. The content is presented and discussed on a theoretical level, but also dealt with using practical examples (current, English-language empirical studies). An introduction to statistics and statistical software (SPSS, JASP) is also given.Method: Virtual work in teams, acquisition of knowledge based on video presentations, forum-based online discussion (Moodle), discussions in synchronous online units, self-assessment quizzes
Assessment and permitted materials
Presence in synchronous online units, participation, video-presentation, written thesis (independent analysis of an empirical study from the field of psychology + solving a short, specified statistical task).
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Attendance is compulsory in the units held online and two absences are permitted. Each partial performance is evaluated independently.Holding a video presentation accounts for 40% of the assessment of the course; the thesis for the remaining 60% (each 30% study, 30% statistical task). For each topic, participants must take part in short self-assessments (accompanying the course), which can be repeated as often as required and all documents can be used for processing. Each self-assessment contains 10 questions with different closed and open answer formats. Feedback on the answered questions is given directly in Moodle. The students also have the opportunity to reflect on the achievement of the learning objectives. In order to successfully complete the course, more than 50% of the total points must be achieved. The following scale applies:
>= 90%: 1
< 90% - 85%: 2
< 85% - 70%: 3
< 70% - 51%: 4
< 50: 5
