Research Methods in Kinesiology I

Catalog description

This course is the first half of the research methods course. It is designed to address the fundamental aspects of conducting systematic hypothesis-driven research in human health, kinesiology, and performance using the scientific method. The class will be separated into groups (4-5 students/group). Each group will work together and under the supervision of a Kinesiology Faculty advisor to design and propose a research project of your choice over the course of the semester. Group responsibility will include formulating novel research questions and hypotheses; locating, reading, and interpreting peer-reviewed scientific studies; developing group-based research projects; and submitting the proposal to the Institutional Review Board for an approval to collect data during KINS 473 Research Methods in Kinesiology II.
