以研究設計作為基礎作數量分析，對社會科學的主要議題作深入分析。除了幫助建立論文的基本架構外，也培養分析寫作能力，奠定量化論文寫作的基礎。此外本課程提供對社會統計軟體如MS EXCEL, SPSS PC+ 統計軟體的使用，以增加對問卷、跨國和其他資料的分析能力。此外，對各種統計分析程序和方法作廣泛的介紹以增進研究發展潛力。主要內容有：
(一)、輔導學生提出假設，資料的搜集和測試。
(二)、使學生瞭解計量方法的優缺點、能力和限制。
(三)、以實證資料為基礎藉統計軟體的運用作進一步的分析，增進學生對問卷及其他二手資料的整理和分析能力。
(四)、藉報告的制作，使學生從假設的提出，資料的搜集、測試、分析和解釋來培養學生獨立研究的能力。Use research design as the basis for quantitative analysis and in-depth analysis of major issues in social sciences. In addition to helping to establish the basic structure of the paper, it also cultivates analytical writing skills and lays the foundation for quantitative paper writing. In addition, this course provides the use of social statistical software such as MS EXCEL, SPSS PC+ statistical software to increase the ability to analyze questionnaires, cross-country and other data. In addition, a broad introduction to various statistical analysis procedures and methods is provided to enhance research development potential. The main contents are:
(1) Assist students in formulating hypotheses, collecting and testing data.
(2) To enable students to understand the advantages, disadvantages, capabilities and limitations of measurement methods.
(3) Based on empirical data, use statistical software for further analysis to enhance students' ability to organize and analyze questionnaires and other secondary data.
(4) Through the production of reports, students can develop their independent research abilities from the formulation of hypotheses, collection, testing, analysis and interpretation of data.
量化研究方法主要在提供公共行政與公共政策研究所須的各種計量分析工具。透過本課程的學習，希望同學能瞭解應用統計的基本觀念，知道何時與如何進行統計分析，能實際運用統計軟體，並有能力解讀無所不在的統計數字。因此，除去統計理論的研習之外，本課程亦將要求同學 hands-on 實際操作統計軟體 （如SAS或SPSS）。
Quantitative research methods mainly provide various quantitative analysis tools required for public administration and public policy research. Through the study of this course, students are expected to understand the basic concepts of applied statistics, know when and how to perform statistical analysis, be able to actually use statistical software, and have the ability to interpret ubiquitous statistics. Therefore, in addition to the study of statistical theory, this course will also require students to practice hands-on statistical software (such as SAS or SPSS).
