#CriticalThinking #DataSkills

I teach R and Data Skills at University and I've been getting a few student complaints on why they're being taught R as they think it is irrelevant to their degrees (e.g., biochemistry, biomedical sciences, bioveterinary sciences)... and while I get the sentiment, I know people in these and closely allied fields that benefited greatly from learning R. It took their careers in ways that would not have been possible if not for their R skills...

#introduction

I am a lecturer in #Psychology at #UniveristyOfGlasgow on the #LearningAndTeaching strand.

I lecture in #statistics and #ResearchMethods, focussing on helping students realise they don’t have to love it but they can do it!

I work in #AssessmentAndFeedback, hoping to make staff and students engage more with the process. #SoTL

I love teaching with #OpenScience & teaching #DataSkills to all, like our #PsyTeachR materials.

And I sometimes do studies on #VoicePerception, #Hello 👋

It's been a long time coming - excited to share our new #PsyTeachR preprint in which we make the case for teaching #dataskills & coding like #rstats at undergraduate #psychology - for #reproducibility, #openscience & #employability, we must give our students the skills they deserve & that modern science needs.

With @mcaleerp, @debruine, @HelenaPaterson, Niamh Stack, Heather Woods, Carolina Kuepper-Tetzel and Dale Barr
