Learning goal and objectives
The course objective is to enable students to make positive contributions to extant knowledge in their field by enhancing their ability to a) interpret existing research findings, and also b) to conduct rigorous structural equation modelling research themselves. This objective is achieved through two aims: 1) to give students the technical skills to understand and conduct basic and advanced analysis using structural equation modelling techniques; 2) to give students the conceptual and philosophical understanding necessary to design and conduct appropriate analysis programmes for their research objectives.
Instruction and examination:
5 days (6 hours per day, in total 30 hours) of intensive teaching, including lectures, practical exercises with LISREL (and SPSS) software, and targeted consultation and problem-solving sessions
Credits: 5 ECTS
Grading: 1-5
Prerequisites:
