The objective of the course is to provide the students with knowledge about different research methods to be used in connection with academic and scientific projects.
In addition, the students should learn how to plan and manage a project process to prepare them for project work in connection with their study programme as well as their future role in organisations.
Course background:
Philosophy of science refers to the sciences' reflection on the production of valid knowledge while methodological approaches cover the systematic effort to produce valid knowledge. All scientific methods are based on a number of scientific
conditions and therefore the terms are entwined. This course focuses on
Methodology.
For every student it is important to be able to produce knowledge. In order to do so students must have insight into formulation of research problems, research designs, and techniques for data generation and analyzing data as well as quality criteria for
assessing different types of knowledge.
The course has a natural link to other courses where problem solving is of major importance.
The course will focus on introducing the students to quantitative and qualitative research methodology.
This includes the formulation of research problems, research design, techniques
for data generation, and techniques for analyzing data. Moreover, the students
will be introduced to quality criteria of qualitative and quantitative methods.
In addition, the students will be given an introduction to project management to enable them to work in e.g. interdisciplinary project groups.
