Not Applicable.

The course is organised in such a way that its objectives correspond to the diversified methodologies inherent in the training and assessment activities that the trainee must carry out, which are identified and organised in face-to-face and distance synchronous and asynchronous modalities, allowing the trainee to build knowledge and develop integrated skills.

– choose and adapt the design to the research problem and the context from which it emerges;

– know how to identify, manipulate, control and measure variables;

– choose, characterise and select the subjects to be used/ consider the necessary conditions for possible

population and ecological validation of the results;

– know how to construct/appropriate/choose the data collection instrument and how to adjust it to the research case; and

adjustment to the research case;

– adjust the statistical instruments used to process the data to their nature and the intentions of the study.
