| THE COURSE AIMS AT PROVIDING THE BASIC TOOLS FOR THE CORRECT SETTING OF EMPIRICAL RESEARCH WORK, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE RESEARCH DESIGN AND THE CHOICE OF DATA COLLECTION TOOLS. A FIRST PART WILL CONSIDER THE BASIC QUESTIONS OF SOCIAL RESEARCH, FOCUSING IN PARTICULAR ON THE THEORETICAL CRITERIA AND THEORETICAL PARADIGMS OF THE TWO MAIN RESEARCH APPROACHES: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE. THE NEXT PART WILL CONSIDER THE MAIN TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTING AND ANALYZING DATA, ACCORDING TO DIFFERENT RESEARCH TYPES. TOPICS COVERED - FUNDAMENTAL PARADIGMS OF SOCIAL RESEARCH: POSITIVISM, NEO-POSITIVISM, POST-POSITIVISM - HISTORY OF ITALIAN SOCIAL RESEARCH METHODS - FUNDAMENTAL PARADIGMS OF SOCIAL RESEARCH: INTERPRETIVISM - COMPARISON OF QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE APPROACHES - RESEARCH DESIGN - TYPICAL STRUCTURE OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCHES - UNIT OF ANALYSISI - THEORIES, HYPOTHESES, MODELS, LAWS, REGULARITIES, INDICATORS, INDICES AND VARIABLES - THE CONCEPTS OPERATIVIZATION PROCESS - SURVEY DETECTION: THE QUESTIONNAIRE - STATISTICAL SOURCES AND SECONDARY DATA ANALYSIS - THE QUALITATIVE APPROACH: THE PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION - INTERVIEWS: BIOGRAPHIES, SEMI-DIRECTIVES, IN-DEPTH - USE OF DOCUMENTS - FOCUS GROUP TECHNIQUE |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE ENTAILS 36 HOURS OF TEACHING (6CFU) BETWEEN FRONTAL LESSONS AND PRACTICAL EXERCISES RELATED TO THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EMPIRICAL SURVEYS. STARTING FROM THE RESEARCH DESIGN ELABORATED, PART OF THE TUTORIALS WILL BE DEDICATED TO ADDRESSING SPECIFIC ISSUES RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND USE OF SOME QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH TOOLS |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAM INCLUDES AN ORAL TEST ON THE COURSE CONTENTS. THE FINAL EVALUATION WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT NOT ONLY THE STUDENT'S KNOWLEGE OF THE SUBJECT BUT ALSO HER ABILITY TO CRITICALLY APPLY THE METHODS STUDIED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A RESEARCH PATH.
