COURSE OBJECTIVES
The practicum intents to provide Ph.D. students with the knowledge and skills in managing, and manipulating data before making any type of statistical analysis. One of the main objectives is to permit students to apply theory and practice based on data obtained from real scientific research. Students will develop knowledge, skill, and attitudes about scientific research that will enable them to act ethically with human participants while conducting scientific research.
Specific objectives are:
1. To examine the philosophical foundations of scientific reasoning emphasizing the development of psychology as a science
2. To distinguish problems or situations with heuristic value that arise from the theory or practice of clinical psychology
3. To know and apply descriptive/correlation, experimental and quasi-experimental methods to respond to different types of social research problems and to problems pertinent to the discipline
4. To value behavior that is consonant with the ethical standards adopted by professional associations and national and international organizations responsible for the protection of the rights of participants, whether humans or animals
5. To demonstrate responsibility and commitment to direct research efforts and focus his or her clinical and research abilities on those problems affecting the community or society
6. Develop a research proposal to be submitted to the Internal Review Board.
