The scientific process: poster analysis

Genom denna övning får du möjlighet att inspireras till forskning och vetenskap samtidigt som du får öva på läsförståelse av vetenskapliga posters och lära dig om hur den vetenskapliga processen kan gå till. De posters som används kommer från deltagarna i Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar.

Material

Materialet hittar du längre ner på den här sidan.

The material consists of:

Scientific posters sorted by subject in order to choose a poster within a subject of your interest.
Questions to be used as a tool for the analising the poster and the scientific process

Genomförande

Method

Use the questions below as tool for analising . The questions in italics is for a more advanced analysis:

Why did the researcher choose to use the particular methods they did in connection with their project? Could they have used other methods? Is there a connection between the research question and the method used?

Did the researcher use control groups/control data? Why are these needed? Are there cases where these are not needed?
Does the project involve any ethical dilemmas that may have required the researcher to obtain special approval (e.g., human experimentation/animal testing)? When is ethical approval required?
How has the researcher presented their data (e.g., tables/diagrams/images/figures, etc.)? Could they present their data in another way?
How are their figure captions?
How many experiments were conducted? Can it be said that the project’s data are statistically significant? Are more experiments needed? What determine whether or not the project’s data are statistically significant? Are there projects that do not require statistically significant data?
Has the research question been answered? How?
Are the conclusions supported by the collected data?

It might not always be possible to answer certain questions based solely on the information contained in a project’s poster. In such cases, consider why such information is missing and whether or not it should have been included.

After completing the above exercise, tbriefly present their conclusions in your groups to one another, perhaps followed by a class discussion. The primary focus of this whole-class discussion should be on the more deeply analytical questions written in italics (approx. 30 min.).
