EPSY 2325Statistics for Decision Making3
How can organizations choose the best options for new programs they want to start? How should a non-profit decide which services to keep providing and which ones to drop? How can an after-school program figure out which activities are helping kids and which ones need to be improved? How can a museum improve attendance by reaching out to the right audiences? Data-driven decision-making is a set of skills for gathering high-quality information and understanding that information in order to make effective decisions about programs. The course includes an introduction to choosing surveys and measures, ethically gathering high-quality data, visualizing the data, and basics of data analyses that will be most useful to future practitioners and leaders in non-profit, healthcare, and educational settings. Effective communication--of the data gathering process, analysis, results, and implications--to stakeholders is stressed throughout the course.

EPSY 5561Development and Learning Over the Lifespan3
This course is intended for master's and doctoral students seeking an introductory survey of how humans develop and learn in several key areas across the lifespan. To this end, the course addresses typical trajectories of development and learning in three major domains: cognition, social competence and interaction, and physical and motor skills. We will examine both domain-general theories of development and learning that guide thinking across all three domains of interest, as well as essential domain-specific theories and recent empirical research relevant to just one or two domains.

The non-credit reflective practicum is individually designed by each student. The student secures a Teaching Assistantship or Adjunct appointment (e.g. as TA lecturer/recitation leader, instructor of record, Writing Center tutor, or lab leader), selects a practicum mentor with whom they will meet regularly throughout their teaching experience, and engages in reflection on that experience with the support of their mentor. Practicum mentors are generally not the same person the student TA's for, or who assigned the teaching appointment and must be selected from the Center for the Advancement of Teaching's list of approved mentors. Students enrolled in the Teaching in Higher Education Reflective Practicum must be enrolled full-time in a graduate program at Temple University.
Survey of issues, problems, and approaches involved in using ANOVA, correlational, and nonparametric procedures. Emphasizes guidelines for selecting statistical tests, computer-aided computation, and interpretation of results.

EPSY 8627Introduction to Research Design and Methods3
The primary goals of this survey course are to help students understand (a) how to make optimal decisions with respect to their own research, (b) evaluate the decision-making and research practices of other researchers, and (c) that there is no one "best" method (i.e., the best method depends on a researcher's goals; avoid mismatching goals and methods). To be an effective decision-maker, a researcher has to coordinate multiple goals and develop a set of effective options for meeting these goals. The present course is designed to help students identify their goals, develop a set of plausible options (i.e., possible research methods), and evaluate the pros and cons of these options. It is also hoped that students will gain increased insight into the ethics of research and how to write effective journal articles and research proposals. Ideally this course should be taken early in one's program and in conjunction with an epistemology of research course. It is hoped that the one-class introduction to a specific methodology (e.g., ethnography or meta-analysis) will prompt a student to take a follow-up course that spends the entire semester on that method.
