Abstract

The research seminar "Science of Learning and Assessment" is a core course that aims to teach students fundamental steps in scientific methods with practical applications that students can use with their own thesis projects. The seminar provides systematic, structured support to students of the master's program at all stages of their coursework. Discussion topics and assignments include thesis topic selection, systematic literature review, developing research hypotheses, experimental design, ethics in research, and method selection.
