This seminar prepares students to learn quantitative and qualitative research methods in culture studies, literary studies as well as applied linguistics and gender studies. As far as quantitative methods are concerned, students will be introduced to statistical thinking. The course is designed to assist young researchers in applying the proper statistical procedure to their data and reporting results in a professional manner consistent with commonly accepted practice. They will study SPSS examples, learning about how to plan a study, prepare data for analysis in SPSS, perform the analysis, and interpret the SPSS output.
It will also offer interdisciplinary qualitative methods organized around three thematic issues: methodology, epistemological reflection, and theoretical and conceptual exploration. They will also read sample researches and reflections on the research procedure by top names in the chosen field of research to help them learn how to develop their own methodology in response to the need of their changing design. They will also be offered an expanded list of suggested readings, arranged thematically within their chosen framework of research, including relevant websites and electronic databases.
