The Research Methodology and Statistics course (CCRM 4013) is specifically designed to enhance students' critical knowledge and practical skills in health sciences research. The scope of study encompasses the complete research continuum, including fundamental concepts and research ethics, problem statement formulation, literature review synthesis, research design selection (quantitative and qualitative), sampling methodologies, data collection tools and technical report writing. Furthermore, the course places strong emphasis on basic statistical applications- covering both descriptive and inferential statistics, data management using statistical software, and the effective dissemination of findings through formal study proposal writing and digital presentation tools to promote evidence-based healthcare practice. 

This course provides students with the opportunity to carry out a short, guided research project, enabling them to apply cognitive and digital skills in addressing real-world or discipline-related issues. The course emphasizes the development of critical thinking, problem-solving and evidence-based decision-making through the research process - from problem identification to data collection, analysis, interpretation and presentation of findings. Students will also develop competency in utilizing digital tools and platforms for presentation of data management, analysis, and dissemination of research outcomes. Through the integration of various technologies, students will enhance their ability to communicate findings effectively and responsibly in both academic and professional contexts.
