    COURSE GUIDE

    Welcome to Research and Statistical Method class. The course covers the application
    of qualitative and quantitative research methods, offering students a possibility to deepen
    their insights in research methodology through hands-on exercises and seminar discussion.
    Seminar themes covers philosophical frameworks for quantitative and qualitative research,
    research design, data collection methods, data analysis, research ethics and current issues
    in research. Students will learn software tools for doing quantitative and qualitative analysis.
    Multiple decision support tools for biodiversity and environmental management will be
    presented including cost benefit analysis and multi criteria analysis

    After completing this course, you are expected to:


    1. Formulate research problems, define objectives, methods and deliverables, 2.
    Perform data preparation, visualization and analysis using inferential statistics and
    multivariate modelling techniques,
    3. Demonstrate proper deployment of results of data analysis, and
    4. Be familiar with the use of statistical software as a tool for computation and
    analysis.

    We will have flexible learning as we go through this course. You may opt to have any
    or a combination of the following modes of delivery: 1) PDF files to be sent to you thru
    Google classroom, Facebook Private Group, and/or Messenger Chat Group; 2)

    messenger chat group account using electronic version of the materials; 3) Synchronous
    discussion using Google Classroom/Meet or Zoom. 4) Designated drop box for the handouts
    and submission of student’s output.

    The major learning tasks are the preparation of written works such as draft chapters
    of your propose thesis from introduction to research methods. In this way, your capability as
    a student in preparing report or presentation on the topic of your choice will be enhanced.
    Also, you will be assigned individually to develop a concept papers as a response to specific
    environmental issues using data and information generated in the class. You will also have
