Description

The course will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of data research, such as quantitative and qualitative research techniques, experimental and non-experimental research approaches, and inferential tests of real-time scenarios.

As you work through the course, you’ll learn descriptive statistics, which summarise data from a sample using indexes, such as the mean or standard deviation, and inferential statistics, which draw conclusions from data that are subject to random variation (e.g., observational errors, sampling variation).

The course consists of three modules and includes demonstrations, hands-on activities, and knowledge tests at the end of each section of the course.

Module 1: Data Research Techniques & Statistics for Data Science

  • Data Research Techniques;
  • Simple Descriptive Statistics;
  • Common Approaches to Sampling Data;
  • Inferential Statistics

Module 2: Statistical & Hypothesis Tests

  • Getting Started with Hypothesis Testing;
  • Using the One-Sample T-Test

Module 3: Data Research Techniques & Statistical Approaches

  • Data Research Exploration Techniques;
  • Data Research Statistical Approaches

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
