Statistical Methods for Research [E-LEARNING]
e-learning

You can access the e-learning from April 10, 2024 until June 28, 2024.
 
Statistical Methods for Research is targeted at young scientists who require a foundation course in statistics, specifically in the quantification of variability, providing students with the practical techniques they will need to conduct statistical analysis at postgraduate level and beyond. This course takes a cross-disciplinary approach and is compatible with all major statistics packages such as SPSS, GenStat, Minitab and Stata. It is rich with scenarios, worked examples, practical applications and interactive statistical models.
 
The course comprises the presentation of concepts, individual computer-based exercises for consolidation and other interactive learning activities. A major component of the course is analysing data through the use of mainstream statistics packages. This will enable students to gain statistical skills commonly used today in evidence-based decision making, driven by data gathered during the research process, such as the use of estimates, confidence intervals and hypothesis tests, and the building of statistical models. The following four areas are included in the course:
• Describing data well: Descriptive statistics
• Making good generalisations: Inferential statistics
• Formulating and testing statistical hypotheses
• Fitting appropriate statistical models and interpreting their output.
 
The course contains different tracks for the disciplines of Engineering, Natural Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Social Sciences and Business.
 
Statistical Methods for Research is based on a highly successful course from the University of Reading which has recorded an average improvement of 125% in student’s performances.
 
Duration of this course: 12,5 h
 
The indicated course duration refers to the pure review of the learning content. Please plan additional time for working on exercises and transfer tasks.

Basics of Leadership (two-day) [ON-SITE WORKSHOP]
Workshop
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Bldg. 50.41, seminar room 145/146 (1st floor) …
Carola Pachunke, Training – Coaching – Mindfulness

The event will be held in English and run for two days, on July 3 and 4, 2024.
 
As a young researcher, you often take on leadership tasks for the first time – in your current position or in the course of your next career step. Being new to a leadership role can be challenging in itself while experiences might differ in terms of gender and personality.
 
This workshop will support you as a young leader to build a good understanding of what it means to establish a successful leadership style. Motivation, flexibility and transparency regarding communication and delegation are key factors to meet the demands of your role as a leader. An awareness of your inner attitude, self-reflection and a conscious development of your role with its various conditions help to create value in a positive and sustainable manner.
 
Which mindset enables you to fulfill the role as a leader convincingly? What are your expectations of your team members and what are their expectations of you as a leader? Where do you find yourself in terms of “command and control” versus “confidence in the ability of your members to organize themselves” and fulfill their tasks? Alongside these general leadership topics, it will be helpful to discuss if there are specific challenges or chances as a female or male leader and how to deal with them.
 
We will explore the following contents:
•            Basics of Leadership
•            Mindful Leadership
•            Management by objectives
•            4 roles of effective leadership and their principles
•            Agile Leadership
•            Skillful Delegation
•            Identification of your key traits and values as a leader
•            Gender-specific aspects of Leadership
 
There will be short inputs, group discussions, exercises, exploration of challenging leadership situations and reflection of your personal leadership style.
 
This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members.
 
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on July 3 and 4, 2024.

No More “Hiding in Plain Sight”! Better Problem-Solving through Conscious Observation (five-day) [ON-SITE WORKSHOP]
Workshop
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Bldg. 50.41, seminar room 145/146 (1st floor) …
Dr. Stefan Götze, Karlsruhe House of Young Scientists (KHYS)

The event will be held in English and run for five days, on September 10, 17 and 24, 2024 and on October 1 and 8, 2024.
 
In problem-solving, an often untapped source of greater creativity lies in the activities that precede the actual “thinking” about possible solutions. As numerous instances in the history of science demonstrate, answers to pressing problems often are available all along but go unnoticed for some time due to our tendency to observe superficially: when confronted with a problem, we often take the situation as given or jump-start right away into searching for solutions. By skipping deliberate inspection, we run the risk of overlooking helpful features or misinterpret information. (As an approximation of the potential of investing in “observation” for scientific problem-solving, conduct a Google Scholar search with the term “overlooked” and your discipline.)
 
In this workshop, we explore the nature of human perception and its relation to problem-solving – both in theory and in practice. We dive into the many ways how information intake and processing can be distorted by our brains; through engaging activities, you will train your ability to observe situations more consciously and to question your implicit assumptions about them. As a result, you will learn how to “see more” and thus advance your ability to solve problems.   
 
Please note: This workshop will be implemented partially on-site and online. The respective format for each session will be announced prior to the beginning of the course.
 
The event will be held in English and run for five days, on September 10, 17 and 24, 2024 and on October 1 and 8, 2024.
 
Technical requirements: To participate in this event, you need a stable internet connection, a webcam and a microphone. Participants will receive further detailed information regarding the online-platform prior to the event.
