Come fare ricerca nelle scienze sociali

About this Course

Per fare questo occorre capire l'importanza della metodologia della ricerca, non sempre immediatamente evidente a chi si trova a leggere un saggio sociologico, né tanto meno ai giovani che intraprendono un percorso di studio nel campo delle scienze sociali. Il corso, dunque, affronta il tema della logica del metodo scientifico e della sua applicazione nelle scienze sociali. L'obiettivo è di consentire agli studenti di impostare e condurre correttamente il lavoro di indagine empirica, nonché di orientare la scelta degli strumenti di raccolta dati in relazione ai diversi tipi di ricerca, fornendo indicazioni circa la loro costruzione e somministrazione. Il corso comprende anche una introduzione alle tecniche di analisi statistiche con cui è possibile trovare risposte agli interrogativi iniziali formulati in sede di disegno della ricerca. To achieve this, we need to understand the importance of research methodology, and this is not immediately obvious to people reading a sociology book, or even to students starting their Social Sciences course. This MOOC, therefore, looks at logic and the scientific approach and how it is applied to the Social Sciences. The objective is to enable students to learn how to set up and implement an empirical study, including the right choice of instruments for data collection according to the specific study, and how to construct and administer them. The course also provides an introduction to statistical analysis which enables us to answer the questions that were set when the research was designed.
