Aim | The main purpose of the course is to teach quantitative and qualitative research methods which are necessary to handle a scientific research. The basics of a scientific research include the aim and design of the research with frequently used statistical methods and techniques along with its data management and analyses, its formal structure and presentation. The student is to have general information about how a scientific work is established and critical points to care. |
Course Content | This course contains; Scientific Method and Basic concepts , Scientific Research methods; Types and qualities,Defining a problem; what are you going to search about? hypotheses, limitations, obstacles; Aristo's logical theory, proposals, induction and deduction, rationalization.,hypotheses, limitations, obstacles; Aristo's logical theory, proposals, induction and deduction, rationalization.,Sampling and Universe I;Data collecting- Reliability, Validity, surveys, observation, deep interviews, focus group meetings.,Sampling and Universe II,Quantitative Research Method I,Quantitative Research Method II,Qualitative Research Methods I,Qualitative Research Method II,Writing a "Research Summary",Writing a summary of a research,Overall Assessment. |
