I’m teaching a Tests and Measurements in Psychology course (advanced undergraduate) using TBL.  We may have some similarities, though I’m not sure how helpful I would be on the RATs since those are so specific to the exact course content you want to cover.  My course is designed to complement a Research Methods course, also required in our curriculum.

Subject: Designing Undergrad Social Science Research Methods Course

 

Dear TBL colleagues,

I'm designing a TBL approach to undergrad research methods for the social sciences (anthro/soc/geo) for this fall.  I have planned out most everything except I need to develop iRATs/tRATs for the units -- for sampling, reliability/validity, levels and types of measurement, protocol design (writing good survey and interview questions), survey and interview design and admin, and quant data analysis (univariate and bivariate).

Has anyone developed such a course, and, if so, would you be willing to help me especially with the RATs?

Thank you in advance,  Sarah Mahler  [log in to unmask]
