Under the supervision of a researcher, the student will learn in a practical and critical way the bases of scientific work.
Competences
- Apply the scientific method in professional practice.
- Knowledge and understanding that provide a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and / or applying ideas, often in a research context.
- Master the skills and resources necessary to teamwork and multidisciplinary groups.
- That the students can apply their knowledge and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study.
Learning Outcomes
- Ask relevant questions and adequately defined research objectives and hypotheses to solve problems in the context of research practicum.
- Conduct a critical reading of a scientific publication on the basis of methodological quality of the research design used and the scientific practice of their results or contributions, in the context of research practicum and relevance.
- Conduct a research plan minimizing threats to validity, in the context of research practicum.
