Rwy'n ddarlithydd mewn seicoleg wybyddol. Cyn ymuno â Phrifysgol Abertawe, roeddwn i'n dal swyddi yn Southampton Solent a Sheffield Hallam. Prif ffocws fy ymchwil yw darllen yn uchel a chydnabod geiriau, er fy mod hefyd yn awdur papurau ym maes niwroseicoleg wybyddol yn ehangach.
This module is designed to further develop quantitative and qualitative methods and statistics for psychologists to prepare students for their final year independent research project. Students will be introduced to using the statistical software package JASP for quantitative analysis and students will learn how to design mini-projects, apply appropriate statistical tests, and interpret and present data. Students will also be introduced to qualitative research methods. The module also covers research ethics, the nature of good experimental design, how to control for confounding factors and the need for replicability and reliability in scientific research.
This module is designed to further develop quantitative methods and statistics for psychologists to prepare students for their final year independent research project and follows directly from Research and Experimental Methods I. Students will study advanced multivariate techniques and deal with complex experimental designs. Students will also explore issues and current trends in research methods such as open science and big data.
Cynlluniwyd y modiwl hwn i ddatblygu ymhellach ddulliau ac ystadegau meintiol ac ansoddol i seicolegwyr baratoi myfyrwyr ar gyfer eu prosiect ymchwil annibynnol blwyddyn olaf. Caiff myfyrwyr eu cyflwyno i ddulliau dadansoddi meintiol mwy datblygedig gan ddefnyddio'r pecyn meddalwedd ystadegol JASP, yn cynnal prosiectau bach er mwyn atgyfnerthu'r dulliau dadansoddi newydd trwy gymhwyso profion ystadegol priodol, a dehongli a chyflwyno data. Bydd myfyrwyr hefyd yn archwilio materion a thueddiadau cyfredol ansoddol mewn dulliau ymchwil fel gwyddoniaeth agored a data mawr.
This module will examine the way that cognitive psychological theory has been (or perhaps, should be) applied to teaching and assessing students in schools and universities. In this module students will be reminded of important cognitive models of memory (e.g. working memory), attention, and reading. In addition, students will be introduced to theories concerning teaching best practice. The key question to be addressed over the module is whether the cognitive mechanisms of learning are effectively matched with the principles held to be best practice in teaching ¿ if not, where are we going wrong, and how could cognitive psychology help us to help our learners?
Students conduct an independent research project under the supervision of a member of staff. The research topic is decided in conjunction with supervisors and Research topics. Students must design, conduct, analyse and write up a piece of research in order to achieve Graduate Basis for Chartership with the British Psychological Society (BPS). They must also complete an Ethical Considerations Form, showing that they have considered and resolved ethical issues relating to their project, and that they have implemented appropriate best practices for improving the reproducibility of their research.
Mae myfyrwyr yn cynnal prosiect ymchwil annibynnol dan oruchwyliaeth aelod o staff. Penderfynir ar bwnc yr ymchwil ar y cyd â goruchwylwyr a phynciau Ymchwil. Rhaid i fyfyrwyr ddylunio, cynnal, dadansoddi ac ysgrifennu darn o ymchwil er mwyn cyflawni Sail Graddedig ar gyfer Siarter gyda Chymdeithas Seicolegol Prydain (BPS). Rhaid iddynt hefyd lenwi Ffurflen Ystyriaethau Moesegol, gan ddangos eu bod wedi ystyried a datrys materion moesegol sy'n ymwneud â'u prosiect, a'u bod wedi gweithredu arferion gorau priodol ar gyfer gwella atgynyrchioldeb eu hymchwil.
