The general goal of the various MTP Seminars is to deepen the knowledge and skills that allow a proficient and critical use of research in the field of Psychology and related fields, and to plan the development of an individual original research, empirical or theoretical, in a specific field (thematic areas).
This unit specifically aims to foster the understanding of:
1- How to critically analyze existing research, reflecting on the theoretical, practical, and ethical implications
2- How to select appropriate methods in the field of study
3- How to develop a research design adequate to the research questions, including methods of data collection (to identify and analyse sources of information such as surveys and interviews, and procedures) and analysis.
1- To develop and organize a logical argument grounded in the analysis of evidence that supports a research question
2- To demonstrate a deeper knowledge of methods in the major subject/field of study.
3- To develop an individual research design by applying adequate scientific methods in a specific domain (thematic areas)
Contact sessions: Tutorial work meetings with the supervisor; individual and group guidance and support to the development of the research design; formative and summative evaluation activities
Invited experts create opportunity to enhance and diversify the training of the students; students’ sharing of their diverse professional experiences/scientific fields represents an additional gain
Student autonomous work: literature search and review; development of a research design
