Annotation -
The course will guide students through the preparatory phases of a quantitative research project, introducing them to fundamental principles, procedures, and key activities. In addition to explaining key concepts and approaches, students will gain practical experience by planning and preparing a survey research. Upon completing the course, they will be able to design an appropriate research plan for a selected topic (including operationalization, defining the research object, and choosing a sampling procedure), critically evaluate the methodological benefits and limitations of different approaches, and carry out essential activities such as developing a research instrument, organizing data collection, and preparing data for analysis.
Students will also acquire the knowledge needed to commission survey data collection from external providers and assess the quality of offers and implementation.
