Teaching Methodologies
The curricular unit will be taught in a theoretical-practical format, in an active expository form, complemented with the discussion of research papers relevant in the field of Clinical Physiology. The evaluation of the curricular unit takes the form of a theoretical-practical work comprehending statistical analysis and interpretation, and a written test, within the framework of the Academic Regulation.
Learning Results
The student must acquire skills to understand the conditions underlying the applicability of the theoretical models used for statistical analysis, as well as to analyze and interpret the results obtained. Students should also be able to use the SPSS computer application or equivalent, and the RevMan program, to solve problems involving the concepts developed in the course.
The student must acquire the fundamental skills to carry out quantitative data analysis and to critically assess and properly interpret the results of an inferential study.
