COURSE SYLLABUS
1. Course Identification:
Course : Research Method in Biology Code :
Credit Point : 2
Course Position : common ground (mandatory) Study Program : Biological Education
Semester : IV
Instructors : Dr. Bambang Subali, M.S. Dr. Paidi, M.Si.
2. COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course involves the basic principles of research design and procedures include design of the data analysis techniques. The focuses of these courses are the design and procedure analysis in descriptive or non experimental research and experimental research. The kind of the experimental research design was focused on single experimental design. This design involves on completely random design, randomized completely block design, latin square design, and covariance design.
3. Course Benefit
Gives student know-ledges and skills about research principles and procedure in biology, involves a descriptive/non experimental and the experimental design and procedures on single factors experiment include analytical technique, so that the student will be able to make correct conclusion and precise for the biological problems were studied.
4. Competencies
At the end of the course, you should be able to:
a. Identify the principles of descriptive or non experimental research design and construct the procedures, include select the data analysis technique.
b. Identify the principles of experimental design on the single factor experiment and construct the procedures, include select the data analysis technique. This design includes the completely randomized design, randomized completely block design, latin square design, and covariance design).
5. Learning Strategy
The strategy applied covers question-answer, discussion and assignment
