New technologies in social and environmental research (eye-tracking, VR, AR, drones, GIS) - 1 2404-P-4-PPSS-NTBSS1

The course is a workshop - some classes will be conducted online, some on-site. The aim of the course is to prepare students to independently present spatial data in the form of professional maps. The classes will be block-based.

Part 1. 6-hour meeting - theoretical and introductory part to QGIS - (online)

Part 2, 6-hour meeting - familiarization with the functionalities of the QGIS program (on-site)

Part 3. 6-hour meeting - working with data and preparing tools - questionnaires, map bases, mobile application + assessment of the theoretical part (meetings 1 and 2), (on-site)

2 weeks x 3h - time for field research

Part 4. 4.5h meeting - processing of collected data and preparation of map input + map interpretation (on-site)

Part 5. Meeting 1.5h - presenting the results (online)

Total student workload

The course is very demanding for psychology students because they learn a special program for presenting spatial data, specific to geography. In addition to mastering the program itself, they apply it to the data they collect during fieldwork - all in one semester Participation in the course - 30 hours Individual study program - 60 hours Field examination - 30 hours Preparation of the research report - 30 hours Total: 150 hours - 5 ECTS points

Learning outcomes - knowledge

Directional effects: K_W02, K_W05, K_W30, Course- specific effects: W1: The student acquires knowledge of techniques for collecting and presenting data used in sciences other than psychology (here: Geographic Information Systems)

Learning outcomes - skills

Directional effects: K_U03, K_U04, Course- specific effects: U1. The student masters one of the geographical programs - QGIS - and learns to apply it to specific spatial data

Learning outcomes - social competencies

Directional effects: K_K01, Course-specific effects: W1: The student is able to prepare a research report, presenting the collected data spatially (using the QGIS program).
