Description
The aim of this module is to give an introduction to quantitative techniques that are commonly used in education and social sciences research, while using one of the major statistical software packages 鈥� SPSS. The module is aimed at students with little or no background in statistics. After an introduction to univariate analysis (one variable) and descriptive bivariate analysis (two variables), the module focuses on regression analysis, which is a powerful method to examine the effect of one or more variables on an outcome variable. We will cover both linear and logistic regression models, regression diagnostics, multilevel analysis and interaction effects analysis. Statistical procedures will be applied to real-world examples to aid our ability to draw conclusions about the social world. Lectures are complemented with computer classes to give 'hands-on' training in SPSS computer-aided statistical techniques for social and education research.
