Teaching Skills: The Adequate Implementation of Activating Methods in Seminar Sessions

Institution: see Organisers & Acknowledgements

Program of study: International Research Workshop

Lecturer: Verena Brenner (Self-Employed Trainer) & Tatjana Reiber (HSU Hamburg)

Date: 05.10.2011, 09:00 – 17:30

Room: n.s.

Max. number of participants: 20

Semester periods per week: n.s.

Credit Points: 5 CP for participating in the whole IRWS

Language of instruction: German

Contents:

Although independence and personal initiative are considered key competencies in academia, teaching at university level does often amount to the transfer of knowledge from an expert (the lecturer) to a passively absorbing audience (the students). Participants of this course will get to know various activating methods and teaching strategies, which encourage students to study autonomously and self-determined. A strong focus will be set on the appropriate use of these methods: for which objectives, in which course context and for which target group can a method be applied? Furthermore, participants will have time and opportunity to practice the instruction of several methods.

Analysing Panel Data

Institution: see Organisers & Acknowledgements

Program of study: International Research Workshop

Lecturer: Toben Dall Schmidt, Nisar Ahmad (SDU Sonderburg/Denmark) – tbc

Date: 06.10.2011, 14:00 – 17:30

Room: n.s.

Max. number of participants: 25

Semester periods per week: n.s.

Credit Points: 5 CP for participating in the whole IRWS

Language of instruction: English

Contents:

Panel data has become popular due to their very specific structure and associated advantages. This module will introduce these basic structures and offer some first insights into the different standard estimation methods available to use panel data for analysis – the most two most common being the fixed effects models and the random effects models. In terms of advantages, the module will offer a discussion of the properties of panel data in allowing for unobservable heterogeneity, but it will also point to some of the caveats of using panel data, e.g. attrition problem in survey data. A final issue in the module will be testing procedures to allow for a selection between different estimation methods for panel data. The module will therefore offer a basic introduction into the essence of panel data analysis.

Qualitative (Expert) Interviews

Contents:
The workshop addresses participants who are quite unexperienced in procedures of conducting qualitative interviews. We want to do some exercises in the theory and the practice of interviewing. Thus, we want to see: What are the main postulates in this kind of qualitative research and what are the most frequent mistakes?

At the first, we will build are theoretical basement. What are the characteristics of qualitative and quantitative interviewing? You will learn about the different kinds of interviews and the variety of questions. (This part is hold in German, because it depends on the grammar of every language!) Furthermore, the course covers a broader view of the specifics of interviews with so called experts. You will practice to conduct own “public” interviews based on your research and will collect several routine in conducting qualitative interviews.

Credit Points: 5 CP for participating in the whole IRWS

Language of instruction: English/German (depending on participants)

Contents:
Starting with a basic level introduction to R and its concepts the course will cover typical problems arising in research using statistical tools. Focus will be on the tool R itself, not on the underlying statistics. Nevertheless procedures for descriptive statistics, regression, and time series analysis methods will be given in the examples. Following a ‘natural’ workflow for statisticians the course will cover reading (and cleaning) data, generating graphs and reports, defining functions for repetitive work and keeping research reproducible.
