Introduction to Structural Equation Modelling https://www.acspri.org.au/summer-program-2025/introduction-structural-equation-modelling https://dresa.org.au/events/introduction-to-structural-equation-modelling Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used widely by researchers in a diverse array of fields to find and test complex relationships amongst observed variables that measure latent (unobserved) variables and amongst the latent variables themselves. SEM subsumes other analytical techniques (such as factor analysis, regression analysis and path analysis) into one omnibus approach to modeling relationships amongst observed and latent variables. This course is designed as an introductory SEM course aimed at introducing participants to the basic concept of SEM and to a range of structural equation models using AMOS and/or Mplus software to estimate the model parameters. Detailed notes with worked examples and references will be provided as a basis for both the lecture and hands-on computing aspect of the course. The target audience for this course is post graduate students, academic staff and other researchers needing to learn the basic concept of SEM and how to run structural equation models using either the AMOS and/or Mplus software. 2025-02-03 09:00:00 UTC 2025-02-07 15:00:00 UTC ACSPRI The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia The University of Melbourne Parkville Australia 3052 ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au ph: +61 3 8376 6496 [] [] 20 workshop open_to_all Structural equation modellingStatistical Methodsapplied statisticsquantitative -

The course reviews the possibilities for working with rich network data from interview or online sources and the unique perspectives that qualitative and social research traditions bring to these tasks. The course explores ways to best manage and explore different kinds of network data in Excel, uses UCINET and NetDraw to produce network diagrams and descriptive statistics. We review other appropriate software related to participants' needs. The course serves as a transition to the associated ACSPRI courses Network Analysis in Social, Business and Political Research and Big Data Analysis for Social Scientists. Network research designs covered in this course are: * Surveys using ego-centric network (egonet) methods * Network-sensitive ethnographies * Sociometric (‘round robin’) ‘whole network’ studies and small group research * Associational/ Affiliation (‘2-mode’) networks (including ethological studies) * Cognitive mapping and socio-cognitive mapping (SCM) For each methodology we consider the best ways to code and manage raw data, the most efficient formats for importing such data into visualisation and analysis software and appropriate measures and statistics for reporting findings. We also discuss the process of relating validated findings to broader research questions (‘meta-inference’), extrapolating them to other settings and associated questions of research design. 2025-02-10 09:30:00 UTC 2025-02-14 16:00:00 UTC ACSPRI Online, Australia Online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au Ph: +61 3 8376 6496 [] [] 12 workshop open_to_all social network researchSocial network analysisMixed MethodsQualitative ResearchQualitative methodssocial media data -

What makes this course unique is that it is suitable for those with no prior knowledge of statistical software. You will learn how to: Familiarize yourself with basic statistical concepts: Before diving into more complex statistical procedures, it's important to have a solid understanding of basic statistical concepts such as mean, median, mode, standard deviation, correlation, and regression. We will make sure you are comfortable with these concepts before moving on to more advanced techniques. Practice with real-world examples: We use real-world examples of statistical procedures in action. This will help you understand how these procedures are used in practice and how to interpret their results. Use software to run statistical procedures: The course may be taken with Jamovi, a free statistical package, or SPSS. Collaborate with others: Collaborating with others who are also learning statistical procedures can be a great way to learn and reinforce your understanding of the material. You can work together to solve problems and discuss different approaches to analysing data. Remember that learning statistical procedures takes time and practice, so don't get discouraged if you don't understand everything right away. 2025-02-10 10:00:00 UTC 2025-02-14 16:00:00 UTC ACSPRI Online, Australia Online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au ph: +61 3 8376 6496 [] [] workshop open_to_all StatisticsStatistical Methodsapplied statistics SPSSJamovi -

Discourse Analysis: Online https://www.acspri.org.au/workshop-april-2025-discourse-analysis-online https://dresa.org.au/events/discourse-analysis-online Utilising existing data in qualitative research is extremely valuable either as a total data set in its own right or as a subset to enhance interview and observational data sets. Michael Foucault initiated the basic approach to dealing with existing spoken, written or visual data such as policy documents, case notes, photos, articles etc. and this was later further developed by Norman Fairclough into Critical Discourse analysis. This two-day online course will demonstrate with practical examples, the two major approaches to analysing dicourses: Foucauldian and Critical Discourse Analysis. 2025-04-28 09:30:00 UTC 2025-04-29 15:30:00 UTC ACSPRI online, Australia online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au ph: +61 3 8376 6496 [] [] 12 [] open_to_all Qualitative ResearchQualitative methodsqualitativediscourse analysisqualitative data -
