Yleistä tietoa kurssista

Whether expert interviews, employee surveys or online surveys, empirical social research is versatile and relevant for many different fields. In this course, we will give you a compact overview of the topic. If empirical social research is new to you, we recommend that you complete the entire course from beginning to end. If you already have prior knowledge and would like to learn more about specific subtopics, you can also select individual lessons.

Sisältö

Kurssin sisältö

This course gives a basic introduction to social science research in six lessons. We clarify the goals of empirical social research and address the differences and similarities between quantitative and qualitative research. We also take a closer look at each step of the research process.

The following topics will be covered:

1.  Getting started with empirical social research - What are its goals and topics?

2.  Aims and procedures of quantitative and qualitative research - What research approaches can we take?

3.  Literature research and research questions - How do we narrow down our research goal?

4.  Study design and data collection methods - How do we translate our research goal into data?

5.  Sampling - How do we select participants?

6.  Analysis and presentation of results - How do we arrive at results?
