Annotation

Join us to gain valuable insights and practical skills that will empower you in your academic and professional research endeavors. This course provides an engaging and practical introduction to the creation, evaluation, and use of research instruments, with a particular focus on CAWI questionnaires. This course is designed for students from a variety of disciplines, including sociology, political science, economics, journalism, and international relations, who are interested in developing their (first) research tools, especially those who plan to conduct research as part of their thesis.

Students will embark on a structured journey through a series of lectures, each addressing a specific topic or methodological challenge. These sessions are designed to ensure a comprehensive understanding and practical ability to mitigate response bias, master effective question wording, and engage in the processes of scale development. By delving into these topics, students will gain the ability to design useful research instruments, understand the complexities of attitude measurement, and implement effective data collection methods.

The curriculum of the course ensures that students are equipped with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Participants can expect in-depth exploration, enriched with a wealth of real-world examples and illuminating case studies. Lively discussions will highlight potential solutions and innovative approaches.

This course is a gateway to mastering research quality and acquiring the skills and knowledge to develop research tools that stand up to scrutiny and produce meaningful insights.
