About the course
Aim
On completion of the course, the student should be able to - describe, analyse and critically review different scientific theoretical specialisations and research methods in behavioural and social sciences research, - plan the design and planning of scientific studies concerning the design of data collection tools, choice of method for collection, processing and analysis of information - use statistical techniques for processing and analysis of numerical information and qualitative methods for processing and analysis of verbal information, - review and evaluate research considering scientific positions, quality aspects and methodological and ethical considerations.
Content
The course covers the work process of a research or diagnostic work in behavioural and social sciences research. The focus is on formulation of research issues and different scientific perspectives/positions and their consequences for the research planning, data collection (e.g. with questionnaires, interviews and observation), processing and analysis of both numerical and verbal information and reporting. The techniques for processing and analysis that are covered are quantitative methods for description, for determination of statistical relationships, for hypothesis tests and qualitative methods for processing and analysis of verbal information. Quality aspects of research in the behavioural and social sciences, as well as ethical aspects are also covered.
