winter semester 2021/2022 | Last update: 14.01.2022 | Place course on memo listCurr. 2021 § 5 (1) 3:
Students acquire the ability to characterise the fundamentals of empirical studies. They can assign the most important qualitative and quantitative survey methods to the respective scien- tific-theoretical and methodological background and decide which research questions require which methods.
They are able to critically evaluate existing empirical studies and independently carry out the first phases of a research process (formulation of a research question, data collection, method reflection) qualitatively and/or quantitatively or using method triangulation.
In this PS you can practise a number of aspects of the empicial research process, as covered by the lecture (VO). You learn how to critically assess the qualities of empirical studies and will have the opportunity to practice crucial steps of a research process in a small team (formulate a research question, produce data, reflect your experience methodologically).
small research assignments, deep reflection of your research experience in the classroom, research reports
