	Objectives
	AIMS THE COURSE AIMS TO ILLUSTRATE THE STATISTICAL TOOLS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DEMOGRAPHIC PHENOMENA. BOTH DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICAL TOOLS FOR DATA ANALYSIS AND THE MAIN DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS FOR POPULATION STUDY ARE PRESENTED. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE A BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE STATISTICAL METHOD FOR SOCIAL OPERATORS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO CALCULATE DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICAL INDEXES AND DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS FROM SECONDARY DATA OBTAINED FROM OFFICIAL STATISTICAL SOURCES AND WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE AN INTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO EXTRACT AND ANALYZE DATASETS FROM SECONDARY DATA SOURCES BY USING STATISTICAL SOFTWARE AND ELECTRONIC SPREADSHEET. INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGMENT STUDENTS WILL KNOW HOW TO DRAW UP REPORTS FOR THE DESCRIPTION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE PHENOMENA UNDER STUDY. COMMUNICATION SKILLS STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE, THROUGH TEXTS OR VIRTUAL TOOLS, THE RESULTS OF STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PHENOMENA UNDER STUDY. LEARNING ABILITY STUDENTS WILL KNOW HOW TO USE IT RESOURCES FOR DATA ANALYSIS AND WILL BE ABLE TO UPDATE THEIR KNOWLEDGE, USING THE SCIENTIFICI LITERATURE.
