Introduction to modern test theory and test/survey methodology (4.0 credits)
Course code: H1F2664
The aim of the course is to deepen the students´ knowledge in systematic methods for quantitative data gathering and their applications within health care sciences. The focus of the offered teaching modules is to provide the participants with a deeper understanding of the concepts and principles that are used as a basis for choices in data gathering and analysis.
Applying to the course
The course is given as part of the Doctoral Programme in Health Care Science (PUF-V) but may also be taken as an individual course when it is given.
KI's courses are open for registered doctoral students at all higher education institutions, as well as for KI post docs. If space allows, other applicants with a PhD may also be accepted.
Application for the fall semester 2024 is not possible as the course will not be running during this period.
About the course
The pedagogic framing of the course is centered around the student's own research project.
The contents of the course are introduced in lectures and clinical applications. The students are then applying the processes/methods learned in workshops and group work with supervision. The outcomes are then presented and discussed in seminar forms. See course syllabus for more detailed information.
The student is finally applying the course content on an individually chosen aspect of quantitative data gathering processes in his/her own research project.
If you have questions regarding the course please contact the course leader (see contact information further down).
