Course content
The course addresses the student's needs for theoretical and methodological specialization with a focus on specific research area in the master's thesis. The course aims to help the student to apply the theory of science related to the development of his or her research question. Based on research areas in physical education, the student should familiarize with research methodology, theory and empirical work that are relevant to the master's thesis topic. The course aims to provide advanced knowledge and understanding within own research area in physical education by reading, understanding and reflecting on research literature. The course prepares the student for planning the master's thesis by critically assessing and discussing theoretical and methodological knowledge and applies this in relation to assessments of reliability and validity in his / her own project. The course focuses on in-depth qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods approaches to research in physical education. Research ethics is emphasized as a topic in the course.
