Here's some orienting thoughts about participating in this unit:
==What is this unit about?==
This is a third year undergraduate [[psychology]] [[research methods]] and [[statistics]] unit which focuses on '''survey research''' and '''correlational data analysis'''.

The following topics will be covered:
#[[Survey research]] and [[survey design]]
#[[Descriptive statistics]]
#[[Graphing]]
#[[Correlation]]
#[[Exploratory factor analysis]]
#[[Internal consistency]]
#[[Composite scores]]
#[[Multiple linear regression]]
#[[Statistical power]]
#[[Effect size]]
#[[Meta-analysis]]
#[[Publication bias]]
#[[Academic integrity]]

==Educational approach==
There are three educational themes inwhich guide the design and facilitation of this unit:
===Learning attitude: Engage and participate===
{{quote|Eighty percent of success is showing up.<br>- James Allen}}

Intellectual engagement and active participation in the unit's learning events will facilitate development of the skills and knowledge necessary to demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes.

Basically, this means adopting a "learning attitude": 
<center>engage + work hard = learn + succeed</center>

===Emerging academics===⏎
#<u>Culture of collegiality</u>: Emerging academics participate in facilitated learning events
##[[Emerging academic]]s ("students") and more experienced academics ("teachers") will participate in a collegial academic culture which will develop participants' skills and knowledge through facilitated learning events ([[Survey research and design in psychology/Lectures|lectures]], [[Survey research and design in psychology/Tutorials|tutorials]], [[Survey research and design in psychology/Readings|readings]], and [[Survey research and design in psychology/Assessment|assessment]]).⏎
#<u>Learning attitude</u>: engage + work hard = learn + succeed
##Intellectual engagement and active participation in the unit learning events will facilitate development of the skills and knowledge necessary to demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes. Basically, this means adopting a "learning attitude":
### 80% of success is showing up. - [[w:James Allen|James Allen]]
### Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work - [[w:Albert Einstein|Albert Einstein]]

===Open education===
#The unit materials and learning resources are freely available on the internet so as to maximise their utility. ⏎
#This is an aspirational goal and is. The open materials are under congoingtinual development.
#All participants are welcome to contribute to development of unit materials by editing and/or commenting on unit materials.
