Experimental Methods

Description

This course provides students with the conceptual and practical foundations required to design, implement, and analyze experiments that produce valid, transparent and reproducible findings. Covering the entire experimental research process, the course guides students from the formulation of theory-driven hypotheses to the selection of appropriate designs, manipulation of variables, and application of advanced statistical techniques.

Students will learn to ensure internal and external validity, control for confounding variables, design robust manipulations, and adopt best practices for transparency, preregistration and reproducibility.

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to design high-quality experiments, analyze complex data structures, and communicate results in line with international academic standards.
