The course aims to provide detailed information on qualitative and quantitative methods. And try out forms of media analysis within the Center for Media Studies (CEMES).
The methodological seminar is a joint course for the Czech and English Ph.D. programs. However, some sessions are split into a Czech and an English part. There will be online joint seminars via Zoom with Dr. Ormrod and Dr. Sheets Thibault, and students must also complete analytical assignments in their classes. On top of that, to complete the course, it will still be necessary to prepare an analysis at the Center for Studies (CEMES). Last update: Shavit Anna, Mgr., Ph.D. (04.09.2026)

ACADEMIC OUTPUTS: 1. First written assignment - how to prepare a questionnaire. The students will select a topic from a list and prepare 8 questions for the quantitative research and 8 questions for the qualitative research (both for the same topic). They will get feedback on it. The list of topics will be available in the October 9 session. The deadline for it is 24 hours.
2. Assignment for (Post)Qualitative Research: A short academic autoethnographic essay (500–750 words) bringing the personal and the theoretical into dialogue in order to explore and question a selected aspect of your own (qualitative) research and/or your role as a researcher through theory-informed reflection. Each student will choose their own deadline for submitting the assignment. Following submission, a 20-minute individual online discussion will be held to reflect on the essay, explore the ideas developed through the assignment, and discuss emerging plans for the doctoral research. Example of an academic autoethnography by a doctoral researcher: Hodboď, V. (2023). In my secret life: Reflections on media life, learning, and research. Journal of Media Literacy Education, 15(1), 72–84. https://doi.org/10.23860/JMLE-2023-15-1-6.
3. Assignment 2 is linked to the Introduction to Quantitative Methods (individual) session with Penny Thibault.
4. Final assignment: A group work that deals with a small research project, potentially linked to an existing research project or research center. In this group work, students will form small research teams and develop a small research project, starting with a research question and including a (brief) theoretical framework, methodological design, corpus definition, data gathering, data analysis, and reporting. The focus will be on the methodological design, and the corpus will be kept small to ensure feasibility—a Czech-English group with Kateřina Turková and Irena Prázová.
