The Post-Graduation Course in Data Analysis in Psychology is especially aimed at Undergraduate, Masters or Doctoral students, as well as researchers or other professionals in the Human or Social Sciences, who wish to acquire and/or develop skills in data analysis. Its main objective is to acquire skills to select the most appropriate data analysis methods in each context, carry out these analyzes with the support of statistical software, and interpret and report the results obtained. The study plan tries to articulate the strong methodological component, with another, more instrumental aspect, enabling the exploration of various statistical software, such as IBM SPSS Statistics or the R Project for Statistical Computing. In this course, it is assumed that its participants may be unfamiliar with statistical techniques, leading each student, step by step, to master the techniques and their implementation. In the different curricular units, the presentation of each methodology is always illustrated by a set of data, using the principle of “learning-by-doing”.
