Learning objectives

The course is included in the learning area New technologies and data management. It aims to provide students with an understanding of statistical concepts and the ability to conduct statistical analyses useful in the professional contexts. Topics include descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and correlational models, and open source statistical packages will be used. Basic skills will be given in designing, executing, analysing, interpreting, and reporting applied research.
By the end of the course students will be able to describe and use some techniques of data collection and data analysis, and report and discuss the results.
At the end of the course, the student will also have acquired the ability to face and solve practical problems typical of the professional context in which he/she will operate, thus orienting his/her competence to the goal of contractual compliance and to the prevention of the judicial conflict. He/she will be able to verify the practical and applicative consequences of the theoretical and regulatory framework and to set, in written and oral form (and also through group working, written exercises and the method of Problem Based Solving - PBS), the solution of concrete issues, using the appropriate and specific disciplinary vocabulary, adopting the correct lines of reasoning and argumentation, and formulating autonomous judgments. The teaching method used is functional to the continuous learning and updating of acquired knowledge.
