Statistical Methodology for Social Sciences
Instructor: Agiakloglou Christos
This course provides students with fundamental knowledge of Statistical Analysis, which is used in social science and education to identify behavioral patterns of phenomena. Decision-making involves an element of uncertainty; therefore, a quantitative approach is necessary to support any proposal.
As a result, this course is highly important, as it will help students understand how statistical analysis functions in the decision-making process. The course is taught in a simple and comprehensible manner, requiring no significant prior background in statistical analysis.
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Understand the significance of statistical analysis in recognizing behavioral patterns of phenomena.
- Apply statistical methods in behavior assessment.
- Use statistical analysis in decision-making processes to develop strategies and set goals.
