SCIENCE 7025WT - Research Methodology

Waite Campus - Semester 1 - 2022

In the modern era of digital and data-driven agriculture it is important for researchers and practitioners to be familiar with the principles of designing research studies with the aim of collecting evidence for making scientific or industrial decisions. There are multiple types of research questions in agriculture, ranging from demonstration of principle throughout hypotheses testing and estimation to prediction and pattern recognition. Each type is supported with their specific principles of design and analysis. This course will introduce students to the design and analysis principles for typical field studies in plant science, plant breeding, biotechnology, agronomy and agribusiness and enable students to implement the principles in their choice of software: R or GenStat. Working on real-life data examples and scenarios collected from research publications in their area, students will learn to critically read research literature to recognise and understand the crucial elements of design and analysis of experiments and field studies reported in the literature. A small hands-on project will allow students to consolidate their knowledge of the design and analysis of research studies.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition is available.
