摘要:Psychology students (N = 71) completed a research skills assessment test before and after completion of a semester long senior research methods course. The researchers hypothesized increases in all dimensions of research skills upon completion of the course. As predicted, student ratings for each of the 14 research skills measured increased. Reported course effort, enjoyment, and knowledge gained correlated positively with increased research skills. Implications for assessment are discussed.
