Teaching and Mentoring
Currently
At JCU, Dr Krause coordinates and teaches two subjects in the Department of Psychology:
- PY2103, Introduction to research methods and statistics
The purpose of this subject is to introduce students to research methods and data analysis techniques within psychology. In this subject, students learn about the scientific method and research approaches, how to design ethical research, to generate research ideas and formulate testable hypotheses, and how to analyse research data using basic descriptive and inferential statistics. - PY4113, Design and analysis for research
The purpose of this subject is to introduce students to advanced qualitative and quantitative research methods and their applications. In this subject, students develop their research methods knowledge and skills and develop science communication skills for academic/practitioner audiences as well as the general public.
In addition, Dr Krause coordinates the College of Healthcare Sciences Undergraduate Research Internship (URI) program. As a work-integrated learning opportunity, the URI is an annual program that pairs undergraduate students with JCU researchers based on their
skill development and research area preferences. It is a voluntary, co-curricular opportunity designed to enrich students’ coursework learning via applied research
experience prior to completing their undergraduate studies.
In 2023, Dr Krause was awarded a JCU Award for Excellence (in the
category of innovation and change) for the URI. To get an idea of how the URI program works, check out the:
