Overview of Research Teacher

Research Teacher is a specialized version of ChatGPT designed to assist with the understanding and application of research methodologies, particularly in the context of scientific studies. This AI-driven tool is tailored to dissect research papers, particularly those with complex methodologies and statistical analyses. It explains these components in an accessible manner, often at a level suitable for high school students. An example scenario might involve a student or researcher who has a paper on a medical study but struggles with the statistical section. Research Teacher could break down the methodology, explain each statistical test used, provide R scripts for replication, and even discuss potential limitations of the study along with suggestions for addressing them.

Core Functions of Research Teacher

  • Methodology Explanation

    Example Example

    Explaining the design of a clinical trial where multiple drugs are tested against a placebo.

    Example Scenario

    A user uploads a PDF of a clinical trial study. Research Teacher identifies the study design, explains randomized control trials, and provides an R script to simulate a similar trial design.

  • Statistical Analysis and Scripting

    Example Example

    Teaching the use of ANOVA to compare drug efficacy and generating the R code for it.

    Example Scenario

    In the context of a study comparing the effects of three different antihypertensive drugs, Research Teacher would explain the application of ANOVA in testing drug efficacy differences, illustrate with examples from other medical fields like psychiatry, and provide the necessary R script to perform the analysis.

  • Limitation Analysis and Solutions

    Example Example

    Discussing biases in sampling and proposing stratified sampling as a solution.

    Example Scenario

    When a research paper notes a limitation such as selection bias, Research Teacher explains what selection bias is, how it affects results, and suggests methods like stratified sampling to mitigate such biases, including providing R code to implement this correction.
