The seminar aims to acquaint students with communication and media studies methodologies (which are embedded within the social sciences and humanities traditions), by combining meetings that provide overviews of qualitative and qualitative methodologies, with more in-depth workshops that provide hands-on in-depth training with particular methods (also allowing to illustrate the more general workings of qualitative and qualitative methodologies). The last part of the seminar will focus on the research (e-)tools available to PhD students, and on referencing, research ethics and the avoidance of plagiarism.

Assignments: 1/Assignment 1 linked to Introduction to qualitative methods (individual), developing A research question based on the student's project proposals that can be answered through qualitative research methods and evaluation of the appropriateness A qualitative research design for the students’ study (description of the method, proposed design & corpus) 2/Assignment 2 linked to Introduction to Quantitative Methods (individual) A quantitative research design for the student’s study (description of the method, proposed design & corpus) Conceptual/operational definitions for two of the student’s key concepts, with a brief reflection on them) 3/ An exercise focusing on preparing a questionnaire - details will be explained during the first meeting 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. Last update: Shavit Anna, Mgr., Ph.D. (09.09.2024)
