COURSE SYLLABUS

SUBJECT: DELM 211- ADVANCED STATISTICS

CREDIT: 3 UNITS

I. COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This subjects deals with the fundamentals of statistics to the students who have
virtually no mathematics background. The objective is to help students gain confidence
and understanding in applying basic statistical procedures to concrete research situations
in the educational behavioral sciences. It is divided in two (2) parts, namely; Part 1 is on
the descriptive statistics, which includes the measures of central tendency, measures of
variability, and the like, and Part 2 deals with inferential statistics, which include
samples, populations, hypothesis testing, etc. Emphasis is on the acquisition of
knowledge, competence and skills in the use of statistical tools and techniques in
analyzing and interpreting data and drawing conclusions of thesis or research study

II. OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the term, the graduate students are expected to be able to:
 Discuss the interlink between statistics and research
 Demonstrate skills in computing statistical equations.
 Choose and decide the most appropriate statistics with reference to the research
design.
 Identify statistical tests for measures of relationship and measures of differences
 Interpret computed statistical data as integrated in the research design.
