Description:
This one day-course is designed for researchers that are interested in time-use research. Participants will be introduced to the state of art in time-use research and the analytical opportunities provided by existing time-use resources in the United Kingdom. The course will also cover topics surrounding time-use data collection, including diary design as well as advantages and disadvantages of different modes of time-diary data collection, including web and app technologies. The course will also cover the main statistical modelling techniques that can be applied to time-use data. The course is suitable for researchers interested in collecting time-use data as well as those interested in secondary analyses of large-scale time-use surveys.
A high level of mathematical ability is not required, but participants should ideally have undertaken an introductory statistics and data analysis course (e.g. a semester long module as part of a Masters-level degree)
This is not a practical workshop and it does not provide training in the use of data analysis software. It will however provide a strong foundation for future engagement at practical workshops that are designed to provide hands-on training in time-use data analysis.
Course Timings: 10:00 - 16:00
