A Computer Aided and Integrated Psychology Research Curriculum

心理学系正在开发一个研究计算机实验室，通过执行和分析学生最初的研究项目，促进实验方法的教学。因此，该实验室促进了学习研究方法的体验式方法，包括问题概念化、实验设计、研究方法论(包括问题概念化、实验设计、研究执行、数据分析和报告写作)。一套标准化的软件工具，在整个四门课程的研究序列中使用，有助于提供研究课程的连续性。计算机实验室还帮助演示假设检验的步骤，模拟经典的实验设计，并测试学生对特定实验设计进行批判性评估的能力。计算实验室由11台PC计算机和相关外围设备组成的网络，通过一个完整的、累积的研究序列，让学生对经验方法有一个经验性的理解。这所大学将捐赠一笔相当于该奖项的金额。

A research computer laboratory is being developed in the Psychology Department to facilitate the teaching of experimental methods via the execution and analysis of original student research projects. The lab thus facilitates an experiential approach to learning research methodology, including problem conceptualization, experimental design, research methodology including problem conceptualization, experimental design, research execution, data analysis, and report writing. A standardized set of software tools, used throughout the four-course research sequence, helps to provide continuity to the research curriculum. The computer lab also helps demonstrate the steps in hypothesis testing, simulate classic experimental designs, and test students' ability to critically evaluate specific experimental designs. The computing laboratory, with a network of 11 PC computers and associated peripherals, thus gives students an experiential understanding of empirical methods via an integrated, cumulative research sequence. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
