WiSe 18/19: Research Design and Methodology
Christian von Scheve
Kommentar
This course is an introduction to sociological research designs and methodologies. The course will cover the entire research process, from finding adequate and theoretically informed research questions, to issues related to the operationalization and ‘measurement’ of concepts, the design of empirical studies, and the analysis of data. Most importantly, students will learn which kinds of research questions are best addressed using which research methods. This necessarily implies that the course aims at covering a diverse spectrum of methods, rather than focusing on a few select. At the same time, the course strongly emphasizes methodological rigor and fundamental principles that inform and discipline research designs. Students will learn about inductive, deductive, and abductive reasoning in the research process, about causal inference, inference from part to whole, about issues of representation and comparison. We will deal with both qualitative and quantitative data and discuss, for example, in-depth interviews, ethnography, discourse analysis, experimental designs, surveys, and historical methods. The course will strongly rely on in-class discussions of exemplary studies as well as on group work in which students develop their own research designs. Schließen
