社會科學研究的核心議題在於探索,描述與解釋人類的社會生活。不論是
對社會生活中的何種面向(如經濟轉型、人口變遷、 投票行為等),社會科學
研究者們竭盡所能地對該議題作出系統性分析,甚至去挖掘隱藏在該議題之下,
一般人們視而不見的過程,模式和因果關係。社會科學研究者並非依靠個人觀
察、主觀意見、或傳統的刻板印象來對關注的社會現象進行詮釋與分析。相反
地,任何的社會科學宣稱與研究結論都需透過具有邏輯性與實證性的研究步驟
來逐步生成。因此,社會科學研究方法就是社會研究的骨幹。唯有奠基在嚴

Make course arrangements. The first half of the course last semester focused on the introduction to methodology, the relationship between theory and method,
Basic issues such as research topics, literature review and collection, overall research design, and conceptualization and operationalization;
In the second half, starting from the proposed research hypothesis, the sampling principle is introduced and the questionnaire design is completed. Down
The semester course materials focus on the collection and inferential analysis of questionnaire data, and use qualitative interviews to guide students.
Learn to enrich your views on research issues and finally present a complete research report. This course requires students to use
The above research methods are used to conduct specific empirical research to help students truly understand the research through operations.
The concepts and advantages and disadvantages of research methods, developing independent thinking and research execution capabilities, and preparing for future research and employment
