This course aims to enhance students’ comprehension of research methodologies in the social sciences. A distinctive feature of the course lies in its emphasis on the diversity of methodological approaches, highlighting the absence of a universally applicable research design and introducing a range of strategies suitable for different research contexts. By incorporating numerous illustrative examples and referencing widely used statistical software tools such as SPSS and AMOS, the course equips students with foundational skills in data collection and analysis, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the research process.
