Learning unit contents
This course aims to familiarize students with the academic standards and requirements related to reading and writing scientific texts and to develop their understanding of the researcher's ethos as a guide to rigor, honesty, and ethical conduct in science.
The course content focuses on objectivity in the humanities (its conceptualization and reasoned use), the cognitive processes involved in reading and writing scientific texts, the structure of a scientific article, the markers of framing, author positioning, and dialogism, the issues and functions of APA standards, and the principles of organizing and archiving reading notes.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the sessions, students will be able to:
C1: Understand the issues involved in scientific writing and the function of the standards that characterize it.
C2: Evaluate a scientific text in terms of both its structure and content.
C3: Link information (concepts, data, results, recommendations) contained in several texts in order to produce a brief (theoretical) framework including indicators of enunciative positioning.
