大學的目標之一是傳授知識與創造知識。創造知識需要一套方法，瞭解社會是創造知識的一個路徑之一，需要一種方法。「社會研究方法」課程的目標是討論介紹社會學研究方法的基本概念與過程，使得學生對量化與質化研究有一定程度的瞭解。研究方法是社會科學追求新知、累積知識的一套工具，研究者透過這一套完整的工具來探索社會的運作規則。然而，社會的議題錯綜複雜，難以套用研究方法，需要因應不同的研究議題，調整研究方法來達到最佳的研究結果。初學者除了學習基本概念與完整的流程，若能經由實際的操作、做中學，比較容易學得如何使用研究方法。One of the goals of a university is to impart knowledge and create knowledge. Creating knowledge requires a set of methods. Understanding society is one of the ways to create knowledge and requires a method. The goal of the "Social Research Methods" course is to discuss and introduce the basic concepts and processes of sociological research methods, so that students can have a certain understanding of quantitative and qualitative research. Research methods are a set of tools used by social sciences to pursue new knowledge and accumulate knowledge. Researchers use this complete set of tools to explore the operating rules of society. However, social issues are complex and complex, making it difficult to apply research methods. Research methods need to be adjusted according to different research issues to achieve the best research results. In addition to learning basic concepts and complete processes, beginners can more easily learn how to use research methods if they can learn by doing through actual operations.
