Testing a workshop on Inference and Scientific methodology

This mixed-methods study aimed to test and better understand the potential benefits of a workshop on 'Inference and Scientific Methodology', which we had created and refined in 2021. We conducted the workshop three times, collecting the same data for each. Attendees completed surveys before (T1), immediately after (T2), and six months after the workshop (T3). Each survey included a 15-question test on inference, which we used as a quantitative, repeated measure, to operationalise changes in their understanding of inference at timepoints T1, T2, and T3. The remaining data were all qualitative and analysed using conventional content analysis.
