Learning unit contents
This micro-credential focuses on reading, critically interpreting, and communicating findings derived from descriptive statistical analyses in the scientific literature.
The topics covered include, in particular:
- the main ways in which statistical data are presented in scientific publications;
- the interpretation of tables, graphs, and statistical indicators presented in scientific articles;
- the assessment of the validity, reliability, and relevance of the results presented;
- the principles of clear and appropriate communication of descriptive statistics results.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Upon completion of the training, participants will be able to:
- understand the statistical analysis methods used in a scientific article;
- interpret the results presented in a scientific article;
- assess the appropriateness and alignment between the research question, the statistical method used, and the presentation of the results in a scientific article;
- evaluate the discussion points related to the interpretation of the results.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The training is intended for anyone interested in descriptive statistics and who has at least a bachelor's degree or equivalent level of higher education.
Registration for this micro-credential is subject either to prior enrolment in "Micro-credential 1: Descriptive Statistics - Theoretical Aspects" or to successful completion of a preliminary online test designed to assess the required knowledge. A minimum score of 6/10 is required to enrol. Below this threshold, we consider that the necessary prerequisites have not been acquired and that the training may be difficult to follow under satisfactory conditions.
Please note that the concepts assessed in this test are essential prerequisites. They will not be reviewed during the training, as participants are expected to have already mastered them.
