  Learning methods

  The course is divided into three separate parts; qualitative methods (5 ECTS), quantitative methods (3 ECTS) and method seminar (2 ECTS). Qualitative methods, go as a digital course always in the autumn semester, and quantitative methods with lectures on campus in the spring.
  
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  QUALITATIVE METHODS:
  The qualitative part of the course is completely virtual and is available at Moodle.
  The course at Moodle is divided into 5 modules:
  
  Module 1: Introduction and a diagnostic test.
  
  Module 2: Data collection. Group working. In the group you choose each a data collection method in which you immerse yourself, do a small survey where you use the chosen method and present it to each other according to the instructions on Moodle. In addition, you give feedback to each other regarding the details according to the instructions on Moodle. It is optimal to have 3 people in the group. When the student starts the course, they enters the discussion forum in module two. The first one to enter starts a discussion thread, the following (1-2 students) answer it and thus form a group. The third or fourth who enters starts a new discussion and the following students answer it, etc.
  
  Module 3: Data-analysis. Individual assignment. A student choose a theme and form a research question. They search for 3 scientific articles and choose a qualitative analysis method. Student answers to their research question by using a content analysis and presents the analysis process and findings.
  
  Module 4: Ethics, data protection and validity. Home exam submitted via Moodle.
  
  Module 5: Review of a degree thesis. Student choose choose a higher UAS degree thesis within their own profiling in Theseus (https://www.theseus.fi/). NOTE the programs are slightly different in different UAS. Students read and assess the thesis according to instructions and documents found on Moodle.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  QUANTITATIVE METHODS
  The quantitative part of the course is realized during the spring semester, and closer directives regarding the examination is later published in Moodle. Based on lectures, computer exercises and literature studies, the student complies a home examination consisting of (a) a description of central concepts and quantitative methods of collection and analysis, as well as (b) a quantitative exercise with statistical testing. The examination can be replaced by an individualized exercise that relates to the student's forthcoming thesis.

  - readiness to peer review
  Module 3 (weighting 30%)
  - readiness to form a research question
  - readiness to search scientific articles
  - readiness to use a qualitative data analysis method
  - readiness to present an analysis process
  - readiness to to present findings of the analysis (written and visual presentation)
  Module 4 (weighting 20%)
  - knowledge of basic concepts
  - readiness to variedly clarify questions related to research ethics, data protection and validity using literature related to research methods
  Module 5 (weighting 20%)
  - readiness to analyse using literature related to research methods and review criteria
  - readiness to assess the practical novelty
  - readiness to summarize relevant data
  - critical and constructive reflection
  
  QUANTITATIVE METHODS
  This part of the course is assessed using a scale 0-5 based on:
  - the student's ability to account for and understand central concepts
  - the student's ability to critically describe principles for applying various methods for data collection and analysis
  - the student's ability to conduct an analysis based on statistical testing
