| Popis | In this course, students will learn to design research using a variety of methods, theories, and concepts drawn from psychology and the social sciences. Students will become familiar with all phases of a research project: from understanding the philosophical underpinnings of research and formulating research questions, to designing and conducting studies, gathering and categorizing data, operationalizing concepts, analyzing results with basic quantitative and qualitative methods, and interpreting findings. Students will work individually and in teams, developing their research, presentation, and writing skills. Emphasis is placed on understanding the researcher’s role, appropriate theory use, methodological rigor, and ethical considerations. Lectures will be combined with seminar-style discussions and practical exercises. Written assignments, presentations, and a final research proposal project serve as pedagogical tools to enhance learning. |
