Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 - Decode the biases and mechanisms at work behind our stereotypes (9.3 and 11.1 physiotherapist) / (7.3 and 9.1 EP)
- Identify how the staging of content can manipulate us (9.3 physiotherapist and 11.1 physiotherapist) / (7.2 and 9.1 EP)
- Determine the reliability of information and its source (6.3 physiotherapist and 11.1 physiotherapist) (2.2 and 7.2 and 9.1 EP)
- Describe the type of sources and the type of literature (6.1 and 6.3 physio) / (2.1; 2.4 and 7.2 EP)
- Explain and illustrate the place and limits of science today (6.3 physiotherapist and 11.1 physiotherapist) / (2.4 and 9.1 EP)
- Describe the concept of scientific approach and the different types of reasoning (6.1. physiotherapist) / (2.1 EP)
- Describe and illustrate the fields of research in the field of motor skills (6.1–2.1)
- Interpret scientific data and their graphic representations. (6.1-6.3-11.1 Physio – 2.1 and 2.3EP)
 
Content
Description: • Theoretical: o Different types of data, o Concepts of population and sample o absolute frequency tables, cumulative frequency of relative frequencies and cumulative relative frequencies, o Representation of data in tables and graphs, o Key indicators of central tendency, o Key indicators of dispersion, o Concept of probability, o normality distribution o Hypothesis homoscédasticité, o parametric tests and nonparametric tests, o Comparisons of 2 and several medium and 2 or more rows means (for dependent or independent samples) (concept of post-hoc) o Comparisons of proportions (and conditions of use of different tests), o Relations between continuous variables, calculation of correlation and interpretation of correlation coefficients, o Coefficient of determination o Relationship between variables. • Practical: o Discover the Excel software - Mathematical functions, logical, dates - hours, statistics and text, - Representation of data in tables or graphs. o Discovery of statistical software SPSS - Links between SPSS and Excel (import data) - Documentation files * sav, - Descriptive analysis (variables [frequency] and continuous variables [central tendency and dispersion]), - Graphical representations as SPSS, - Splitsing file - Selection of topics (select cases) - Verification of normal distribution of variables - Comparison of two independent samples ? Parametric Comparisons ? Comparisons nonparametric - Comparison of more than two independent samples ? Parametric Comparisons ? Comparisons nonparametric - Comparing two dependent samples ? Parametric Comparisons ? Comparisons nonparametric - Analysis of correlations (parametric and nonparametric) Methods: • lectures by audience • exercises supervision in computer classes or independently.
