Kurz zároveň usiluje o to, aby studenti byli s to produktivně pracovat s adekvátními metodami. Zimní semestr se zaměřuje na obecné metodologické otázky, letní se pak detailněji zaměřuje na tři základní metodologické větve - kvalitativní kauzální, kvantitativní a kvalitativní interpretativní. |

Poslední úprava: RNDr. Jan Kofroň, Ph.D. (05.10.2017)
1) Organization (requirements, deadlines etc.); why methodology matters? Methodology vs. methods The three research traditions Quantitative (formal models and statistics) Qualitative (case studies, comparative case studies) Interpretative and critical Methodology in political science (1950-2015) Methodology in social sciences in general (1900-2015)
2) Epistemologies and their implications (Chernoff 2007, Monteiro, Ruby 2009, Sayer 2000/1992, Friedman 1954) Neo-positivism Scientific/critical – realism Post-structuralism Implications for research
3) Starting your research (Gerring 2017) Research goals and questions Filling in the lacuna Defining broader purpose of a paper Logic of inquiry vs. logic of presentation
4) On theories and concepts (Van Evera 1997, Gerring 2013) Patterns and regularities What is a theory (causal and constitutive) ? What is a (good) concept, and how does a theory differ from a concept Idiographic vs. nomothetic science Explanation vs. interpretation Types of research (specific requirements): Causal (theory testing, theory development, scenarios, policy evaluation) Conceptual (concept building/assessment) Interpretative (post-structuralist research) Literature assessing Descriptive (historical, unique cases, measurement)
5) Building and assessing a concept (Gerring 2012, Goertz 2007) Fecundity, resonance, causal power etc. Two extremes: Conceptual stretching vs. case unique concept Concepts through lenses of different epistemologies
6) Operationalization and measurement (Moheney, Goertz 2012, Gerring 2017, Skaaning, Pemstein) Operationalization in Qualitative vs. quantitative research tradition Measurement; as a tool and as a goal
7) Data (Trachtenberg 2005, Schuessler 2015) Data entering a research (or why data never speaks for itself) Biased data, how to deal with them? How not to treat primary and secondary literature Societal/political context of public/private data Ethics of data collection and publication
8) What is a case study; Structured focused comparison; Mills methods (George, Bennett 2005, Ragin 2009, Liberson 1991) What is a case study? Structured focused comparison Method of (dis)agreement Critique – Small N´s big conclusions
9) Most-likely/Least likely (plausibility probe), Congruence method (George, Bennett 2004, Gerring 2007) Congruence method – experimental template Intuitive properties of hard and easy tests Bayesian perspective? Critique
10) Quant x qual divide… how many research paradigms (Mahoney, Goertz 2012 and reactions) Comparative advantages/disadvantages Obstacles for mixed method research Causes of effects vs. effects of causes
11) Measurement error and other common problems in research (KKV 1994) Measurement error in quant research – when it makes for big troubles? Measurement error in qual research – neglect is not a solution
12) Test
