The aim of the course is to provide students with comprehensive knowledge and skills in the field of measurement in social sciences, with an emphasis on psychometric aspects. The main objective is to prepare students to understand basic concepts related to measurement, types of measurement scales, and techniques of test standardization and normalization. By familiarizing themselves with criteria for evaluating psychometric tests, methods for estimating their reliability and validity, students acquire skills necessary for critical assessment and interpretation of test results in the context of social sciences. Additionally, the course aims to equip students with practical skills related to the analysis of measurement data and their application in various areas of social sciences, regardless of their specialization or profession.
