Introduction to Statistical Inference
In the context of information society it is very important to read, interpret and communicate information. To a future professional of sport it is essential to develop the ability to critically read and interpret studies that include quantitative methodologies and that contribute to their professional development. The organization of a statistical project, focused on data collection and data interpretation, is a key learning experience to future sports professional.
The work to be developed in this CU will focus on active student participation, whether in individual or in group
work, looking for the deepening of knowledge related to the topics of the program.
The tutorial support, individual support or group support consists in the orientation and organization of the student study to deepen the themes and answering questions posed by students and can be done in person or distance.
Three levels of expected learning: a) mobilize fundamental concepts of Probability and Statistic to solve problems, (b) critically analyze statistic studies (c) apply and use critically the acquired knowledge to real life situations.Thus, the activities to be developed include: (i) reading and discussion of scientific and technical documents, (ii) exploration and critical analysis of relevant problems, (iii) seek out relevant information for the deepening of the contents of this CU, (iv) development of an investigative project involving quantitative and qualitative variables.
The evaluation will focus on the work done over the course unit and consists of: participation (10%); two individual written tests (45% each one).
Students who participate in at least 2/3 of classroom sessions may include the system of continuous assessment.
