本課程的目標定位在訓練論文計劃書（research proposal）的構思、寫作和執行能力。理想上，經由本課程的作業與討論，每位課程參與者將逐步形成其碩、博士論文的問題意識和研究方向，並期望在學期末完成一份正式的研究計劃書。這份計劃書或許可以繼續發展，成為妳你們將來的碩、博士論文研究計劃書的基礎，這完全取決於每位課程參與者自己的規劃。就這門課而言，任課老師所關心的毋寧是各位書寫研究計劃書的學習過程。學期一開始，我們將從尋找研究謎題（puzzle-hunting）及安置問題意識（problematique-setting）開始，逐步進入文獻研究、概念架構的形成、假設的提出、資料蒐集的方式、可行性評估、撰寫研究計劃書以及執行研究計劃應該關照到的各個環節。身為任課教師的我們，會在環環相扣的知識生產過程中，以我們的經驗和妳你們分享，盡全力協助妳你們通關。但我們畢竟只是扮演「教練」的角色，妳你們才是真正的players，妳你們投入的程度將決定妳你們自己的學習成果。The purpose of this course is to train the conceptual, writing and execution capabilities of research proposals. Ideally, through the work and discussion of this course, each course participant will gradually form his or her question awareness and research direction in his or her doctoral thesis, and hope to complete a formal research plan at the end of his or her academic period. This plan may continue to develop and become the basis of your craft and doctoral research plan, which depends entirely on each course participant's own planning. As for this course, what the teacher cares about is the learning process of everyone's book research plan. At the beginning of the study period, we will start from looking for research questions (puzzle-hunting) and problem-setting (problematique-setting), and gradually enter the research of literature, the formation of conceptual structures, the proposal of hypothesis, the method of data collection, and the feasibility assessment. Writing research plans and implementing research plans should be followed. As teachers, we will share our experience with you in the process of interlocking knowledge production, and do our best to help you understand. But we just play the role of "teacher". You are the real players. The degree of your commitment will determine your own learning results.
