Learning objectives
Recognize: • Methods for conducting a basic or applied research and study activity: identifying, locating and obtaining the data necessary to deal with a topic related to the topic addressed in the training • Bibliographic research tools (from scientific databases or any other source of information), consult them and use them with a critical eye • Communication tools: whether they are internal to the working group to move the topic forward; or external to interact with contact persons or to present the work done
Master: • Conducting simulations and analyses to deepen investigations and solve technical issues • Design and conduct of experimental studies • Interpretation of data to draw conclusions related to the field of specialization • The conduct of inductive reasoning combining scientific rigour, the virtues of doubt and the ability to question oneself • Communication on the subject: dialogue with researchers and professionals in the sector; present the work done, in writing and orally, to an expert or novice public (use different methods to communicate clearly and unambiguously their conclusions, knowledge and substantiated positions to a specialized public or not) • Teamwork using virtual means of communication, developing its sense of initiative and autonomy in the conduct of the project • Promote intellectual openness
