Knowledge of their application in research data analysis. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.

- there are 8 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- The aim of the subject is to acquire a set of knowledge and skills leading to the successful elaboration of the research project and subsequently the final (master's) work in the context of relevant methodological-statistical procedures.
- Learning outcomes
- After completing the subject, students are able to: - to define the basic concepts of science methodology, quantitative and qualitative research; name the research problem and choose a suitable type of research; cite relevant knowledge of the studied literature; explain the objective objective, formulate research questions/hypotheses; describe the research file and the method of selection; characterize the structure of scientific work; use methodological knowledge in the creation of a research project; - define the basic concepts of measurement theory, methods of descriptive and inference statistics; analyze research data by descriptive statistics methods; calculate position, variability and dependence rates; test research hypotheses by inference statistics methods; to formulate research conclusions; summarize the content of research work in the abstract.
