 Course Title : Research Statistics
No of Units : 3 units
Course Description :

This is the first course in basic Statistical concepts. Topics include frequency distributions of empirical data, calculations of descriptive
statistics and review of commonly occurring distributions needed for understanding basic ideas of statistical inference. It introduces central
limit theories, estimation and hypothesis testing. The course gives emphasis on application through problem solving.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, the students are expected to:
1. Knowledge/Competencies
1. Describe and interpret extracted information from real sets of describe and draw valid conclusions.
2. Identify the different methods on gathering data with its corresponding level of measurements.
3. Identify different statistical tools and apply it in solving various statistical problems.
4. Demonstrate critical, analytical, and creative thinking.

2. Skills
1. Explain the role of measurement in research and demonstrate understanding of the concepts of validity and reliability of data collection
instruments.
2. Apply the tools of descriptive statistics, e.g., frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, and measures of variability, to
organize, summarize, and describe research data
3. Discuss the importance of research statistics in business and highlight the role.
4. Apply inferential statistical procedures, e.g., t-test, correlation, ANOVA, to test research hypotheses
5. Apply qualitative research procedures, e.g., coding procedures to test/produce research hypotheses or to describe phenomena.

3. Values

1. Appreciate the importance of Statistics in the field of educational research.
