Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Analyse a situation (individually or collectively) in reference to relevant theories and methodological approaches within psychology.
• Analyse and model a situation (individually or collectively) by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches.
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured and adapted way to the intended purpose and relevant public.
• Present and structure data in a clear, precise, neutral, and non-oriented way.
• Present research results (orally and in writing).
• Appropriately use presentation materials.
• Work effectively with different actors as part of a team or a network of professionals.
• Listen to team members and partners. Encourage expressing a shared opinion. Accept and discuss a different point of view than theirs.
• Assess and pursue professional and personal development.
• Monitor knowledge and methodological approaches in order to evolve their thinking and practice.
• Master scientific research methods in psychology.
• Master the different steps to carry out research in psychology.
• Appropriately apply different methods of scientific approaches.
• Construct a reference framework, formulate questions or hypotheses from the analysis of scientific literature.
• Collect data and analyse it qualitatively and quantitatively.
• Adequately interpret results taking into account the reference framework within which the research was developed.
• Develop communication skills specific to the field of research (publication, mastery of the English language).
• Master methods and advanced techniques of specific data analysis.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the instruction, the students will be able to : know the multidimensional analysis methods objectives ; determine the method(s) to be used in function of the study ; make the adequate analysis with the statistical software ; find the relevant information in the whole of the results supplied by the software ; interpret the numeric and graphic results ; communicate the important results in a adequate way; carry a reflection criticizes on scientific works, articles appealing to this type of methods.
AND
(i) know the different stages of the research process in humanities, understand the complex relationships between the various stages and master the specificities of some paradigms (e.g. the experimental method); (ii) participate in the elaboration of a grid of analysis specifying these relationships; (iii) analyse written and oral reports of a research using the shared grid of analysis; (iv) carry out a personal project integrating the competences cited above.
