Αναλυτική περιγραφή και θεματικές του Σεμιναρίου

The seminar will provide a comprehensive overview of systematic observation, covering its foundational concepts, research design principles, data management techniques, analysis methods, and applications in neurodevelopmental research. We will explore the definition, purpose, and historical context of systematic observation, as well as its role in studying neurodevelopmental disorders from a mixed methods approach. Research design will be examined, focusing on various design types and their implications. Data collection and management practices, including observation methods, coding systems, and data quality control measures, will be discussed. Data analysis techniques, such as lag sequential analysis and polar coordinate analysis, and result interpretation, will be covered. The course will also delve into the practical applications of systematic observation in neurodevelopmental research. Additionally, we will address important considerations like inter-rater reliability, ecological validity, challenges, and future directions in the field.
