      UE's Learning outcomes

      After the course, students must demonstrate mastery of basic concepts in experimental sciences applied to the language and demonstrate attitudes of thought characterized by the particular method of doubt, the spirit of constructive questioning and intellectual rigor. It must be capable of carrying out the analysis of experiences in language sciences and take part in the construction of experimental devices in this field.   The main concepts are:
      • The origins of the concept of experimentation in the humanities
      • Scientific information: distribution, location and collection
      • The phases of the experiment
      • Identifying assumptions
      • The selection of test subjects
      • The variables and their functions
      • Validity of experiments, extraneous variables and biases
      • The experimental designs
