Course content and structure | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The course revisits the foundations
of scientific knowledge creation to explore basic notions, concepts
and ideas in more depth as well as to further develop competencies
of analytical thinking and coherent argumentation according to the
conventions of scientific research. Against this backdrop, the
course explores the basic choices and their consequences every
researcher has to face in order to be able to establish a research
rationale logically linking epistemological concepts with
methodological considerations and research design.
This course should be seen as an introductory class to the practical workshops on qualitative methodology accompanying the work for the 2nd Year Project. Please, see the course description for BA-2YP for further information. |
