On Saturday, 4th September 2022, Standing Committee on Research Exchange (SCORE) Centre for Indonesian Medical Students’ Activities (CIMSA) Universitas Indonesia held an online training event named SGP Level 1 REBOOT (SCORE Basic Research Training). This one-day event aims to increase knowledge and understanding of medical students, especially members of CIMSA and SCORE CIMSA UI about basic research. SGP Level 1: REBOOT event was held online on Zoom platform and has 2 sessions of webinars, an ice-breaking session, and a workshop with a total duration of 285 minutes.
Before the webinar started, participants were given a pre-test to determine their initial understanding of the webinar’s material. After that, we began the first webinar session, which was presented by SCORE CIMSA UI alumni, Eric ferdinand. He explained the introduction and concept of statistical analysis and how to implement it by using SPSS. This material was presented very well by him. After knowing more about statistical analysis and SPSS, participants had the opportunity to practice it directly. The workshop activity was held successfully due to the high enthusiasm of the participants.
Before getting into the next webinar session, we had an ice-breaking session to let the participants freshen up. We played guess childood photos from some members CIMSA and SCORE CIMSA UI for 20 minutes. The game was really fun because many participants were involved in the game and will win prizes for the winning participants.
The second session of the webinar was presented by SCORE CIMSA UI alumni, Ndine Aurelie. She explained basic research knowledge comprehensively, such as types of data, how to calculate sample size, sampling techniques, research instruments, and instrument validity and reliability.
