Learning outcomes:
Introduction to the Theory of Science After successfully completing this module, students will have the following skills and competencies: . Knowledge and Comprehension: • Students will be able to present subject matter and basic concepts from the thoery of science and distinguish between them. • They will be able to examine basic questions of epistemology and science theory critically. • They will be able to describe different epistemological and scientific currents. • They will be able to justify the influence of scientific theoretical currents on research methodology and methodological choices. • They will be able to discuss the need for research ethics and apply the expertise gained in this module to scholarly debate. The use, application, and generation of knowledge: • Students will be able to apply basic knowledge about currents in scientific theory to the research process and justify which research methodology(s) is/are appropriate for answering a research question. Scientific Self-Concept/Professionalism: • Students will understand their own learning as an active and self-directed process and be able to optimize their own learning behavior. Academic Work Techniques: After successfully completing this module, students will have the following skills and competencies: . Knowledge and Comprehension: • Students will be able to name different types of texts used in science and differentiate between them. • They will be able to differentiate scientific from non-scientific texts based on specific criteria. • They will be able to describe methods and procedures of scientific work. • They will be able to formulate a (clinically) relevant, scientifically answerable question based on a concrete or described topic/problem (know different schemes e.g. ECLIPSE, PICo, PICO, PICOS, SPICE, SPIDER, MIP, BeHEMoTh). • They will be able to research and evaluate scientific literature in sources relevant to their disciplines. The Use, Application, and Generation of Knowledge: • Students will be able to apply scientific working methods to various practical situations and beyond in the course of their studies and thus, deepen their methodological skills. Scientific Self-Concept/Professionalism: • Students will be able to critically reflect on their individual learning experiences in the area of scientific work during the course of study. • They will be able to continuously develop their own scientific work skills using current findings and research results. • Students will develop an understanding for scientific work.
