| Kursens lärandemål | The course participants shall after the course be able to; 1) perform and interpret basic descriptive statistics from frequency tables and graphical presentations, 2) perform and interpret results from basic inferential statistical analysis and tests, 3) recognize and critically examine the statistics being presented in articles within the medical field of research. |
| Kursens innehåll | Concepts being treated are descriptive vs inferential statistics, collection of data and study design, different types of data and level of measurement, independent and dependent samples, correlation and regression, hypothesis testing and different type of statistical errors in relation to the testing and data collection procedure. The major topics for the course are t-test, chi-square test, nonparametric test and regression analysis, and how to evaluate the assumptions for the different techniques. |
| Arbetsformer | This course is a Team-Based Learning (TBL) course. TBL is a specific form of learning method that integrates individual assessment and group work with immediate feedback. Focus will be on solving statistical problems in a team setting. This two weeks course consists of online preparation through video lectures and exercises, and several TBL sessions (in class meeting). The time in between TBL sessions will be spent reading the course material, and preparing for the assessment and group application exercises. |
| Obligatoriska moment | In class attendance during TBL sessions are mandatory for passing grade. If a student misses one of the five TBL sessions a supplementary exercise will be given. If the student misses more than one TBL session it is recommended that the student takes the course at another occasion (since absence also affects the other members of the team). |
| Examination | Individual and group readiness assurance tests, as well as application exercises. |
