Rehabilitation Sciences (Double Major M.A., BM 4b)
“Basic Module 4b: Fundamentals of Rehabilitation Science 2” comprises:
a) Lecture 1 (2 credits)
b) Lecture 2 (2 credits)
c) a module exam in the form of a written exam (2 credits)
Lecture 1
The lecture “Methods of Descriptive and Inferential Statistics in Evaluation and Intervention Research” covers fundamental theoretical approaches and standards in empirical (qualitative and quantitative) evaluation and intervention research.
In addition to fundamental research standards, both experimental and non-experimental designs are examined. During the lecture, students will become familiar with both univariate and multivariate topics and will be able to interpret them.
The following key areas are covered:
- Fundamentals of Evaluation and Intervention Research
- Data collection
- Data analysis
- Application
Specifically, this includes the following content:
- Design of evaluation and intervention studies
- Characteristics of quantitative and qualitative research strategies and their integration within the framework of evaluation and intervention research
- Research planning and study designs, with particular attention to the various stakeholders and perspectives
- Selected quantitative data collection and analysis methods
- Selected qualitative data collection and analysis methods
- Selected descriptive methods in quantitative research
- Selected inferential statistical methods in quantitative research
- Application of descriptive and inferential statistical methods using tables, and independent performance of statistical calculations and interpretation of results
- Basic research
- Intervention research
- Evaluation research
Lecture 2
External lecture on the fundamentals of organizational science led by Prof. Dr. Holger Pfaff
Objectives of Lecture 1 and competencies to be acquired according to the module handbook
Students will be able to …
- describe and explain fundamental theoretical approaches and standards of empirical (qualitative and quantitative) evaluation and intervention research.
- identify fundamental experimental and non-experimental designs in evaluation and intervention research.
- classify basic qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods in the field of evaluation and intervention research.
- combine quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods (triangulation).
- Plan, evaluate, and conduct studies in the field of evaluation and intervention research.
- Outline the purpose of important descriptive and exploratory methods of quantitative data analysis as well as relevant parametric and non-parametric methods of inferential statistics.
- Use basic methods of multivariate statistics.
Semester Schedule
Lecture 1 is currently offered in the winter semester and (beyond the requirements specified in the module handbook) additionally in the summer semester.
Module Exam
The module exam is offered twice per winter semester (once toward the end of the lecture period or at the beginning of the break, and once toward the end of the break).
Exam registration: Registration via KLIPS 2.0 is mandatory for every module exam. Students must register for the module exam in KLIPS 2.0 no later than six weeks before the exam date. Without a valid exam registration, students are not eligible to take the exam. Students who have not properly registered for the exam via KLIPS 2.0 are not entitled to take the exam. Registrations outside the deadlines may only be accepted by the relevant examination offices in approved exceptional cases for a valid reason.
Exam Withdrawal: Students may withdraw from the exam no later than two weeks before the respective exam date without providing a reason. Withdrawals outside the deadlines may only be processed by the relevant examination offices in approved exceptional cases for a valid reason.
