SCIS 2035 - Lire, analyser et utiliser les études comportementales

The aim of this course is to provide students with the tools they need to use experimental human sciences, and more specifically behavioral sciences, in their research work and professional practice. Students will be given the keys to efficiently finding relevant articles from the behavioral science literature and critically analyzing research in this field. They will also get the fundamental knowledge to building their own experimental protocols, enabling them to enrich their thinking on the articulation between experimental methods and other methods in the human sciences. The course will be structured to leave as much room as possible for personal reflection. These weekly 2-hour sessions will combine theoretical and practical presentations, and group discussion. To enable participants to mobilize the knowledge acquired during this seminar as quickly and easily as possible, the content of the sessions will be organized around their research themes (dissertation or thesis topic). Session 1. Presentation of the behavioral sciences and the main themes relevant to participants' research topics, discussion of the links between behavioral sciences and research in the humanities and social sciences. Session 2. Discussion of behavioral science articles and their potential contribution to the humanities. Session 3. Presentation of the key concepts needed to evaluate experimental protocols in behavioral sciences and the specificities of bibliographical research in cognitive sciences. Session 4. Discussion of participants' critical analyses of articles. Elaboration of a research question related to the student's research topic, which can be answered to using behavioral methods. Session 5. Presentation of the general principles of experimental protocol construction in behavioral sciences, discussion of the potential benefits of using behavioral science experiments in relation to the students' research topic. Session 6. Presentation of different behavioral science methods and their limitations. Development and presentation of a behavioral science experimental protocol addressing the research question identified by the students. Session 7. Discussion of the experimental protocols proposed by the students, and general discussion of the contributions of behavioral science to research in the human sciences.
