Engr.
Perido introduced fundamental principles of experimental design, guiding
participants through essential methodologies such as Completely Randomized
Design, Randomized Complete Block Designs, and Factorial Experiments. His
presentation emphasized the importance of Post Hoc Analysis in interpreting
experimental results, highlighting its role in enhancing the quality of
research reports and proposals.
To
reinforce the learning experience, Q&A sessions, practical exercises, and
pre-tests were conducted, allowing attendees to apply concepts in real-time and
assess their understanding. The training aimed to strengthen the technical
writing skills of current and aspiring DA-BPI researchers, equipping them with
the tools necessary to effectively document research findings and craft
data-driven proposals.
Attendees
included representatives from various BPI divisions and centers, with
additional participants joining remotely via Zoom. Engr. Perido’s involvement
