Applied Research: From Hypothesis to Structural Equation Modeling

In a world driven by data and discovery, this course equips learners with the tools to transform ideas into evidence-based insights. Over ten weeks, this course takes you through the complete research journey—from crafting robust hypotheses to mastering advanced analytical techniques like Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Designed for learners from diverse disciplines such as business, medicine, and the social sciences, the course blends conceptual understanding with hands-on application. You’ll explore hypothesis testing using methods like t-tests, ANOVA, regression, and non-parametric tests, and advance to SEM topics including measurement models, mediation and moderation, and multi-group analysis. By the end, you’ll be able to design, analyze, and present a complete, rigorous research model ready for academic or professional use. This course is your blueprint for analytical thinking, scientific reasoning, and data-driven decision-making.
