HUTECH and UEF lecturers explore how to develop quantitative research, from identifying a problem to analyzing data
Subsequent sessions are designed around practical work with educational datasets. Using JASP software, lecturers will progressively explore descriptive and inferential statistics, data visualization, assumption testing, t-tests, ANOVA, ANCOVA, correlation, linear regression, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and reliability testing. Combining methodological knowledge with hands-on analysis helps lecturers select appropriate techniques, interpret results accurately, and present well-supported conclusions.
The training series broadens research perspectives and lays the groundwork for lecturers to apply data in their teaching practice
The training series runs from 7 October to 25 November, with sessions held every Wednesday afternoon. Alongside providing additional research tools, the program helps establish a practice of academic exchange, connects lecturers with shared interests, and lays the groundwork for developing interdisciplinary research projects. This provides practical support for HUTECH and UEF to improve the quality of educational research and apply data analysis findings to enhance educational activities.
