I just work at the level of
basic significance tests for regression lines and so on, which are okay as a ball park starting point but not really up to a proper hypothesis test.
(By contrast, Amrein and Berliner did no
significance testing whatsoever, neglecting one of the oldest and most
basic tools of social - science research.)
Topics include (1) elements of the research process; (2) types of designs, program evaluation; (3) ethical considerations of research: informed consent, research with diverse and vulnerable populations, research with children, human subjects review; (4)
basic measurement concepts: validity, reliability, norms, score interpretation; and (5)
basic statistical concepts: frequency distributions, central tendency, measures of variability, correlation, normal curve, hypothesis
testing,
significance tests.
