「社會研究方法」課程的目標是討論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。研究方法是科學追求新知、累積知識的一套工具，研究者透過這一套工具來探索社會的運作規則。雖然每一門專業都有其研究方法，社會科學的研究方法有其廣泛的共通之處。就社會學而言，社會的議題錯綜複雜，難以套用特定的研究方法，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，更能夠學得研究方法的真功夫。因此，本課程將提供學生一個進行社會學實證性研究的機會，透過分組合作的一個小型研究計畫的實習，學習一套完整的經驗研究方法。The goal of the "Social Research Methods" course is to discuss the basic concepts and processes of sociological research methods so that students have a certain understanding of quantitative and qualitative research. Research methods are a set of tools for scientific pursuit of new knowledge and accumulation of knowledge. Researchers use this set of tools to explore the operating rules of society. Although each major has its own research methods, research methods in the social sciences have broad commonalities. As far as sociology is concerned, social issues are complex and complex, and it is difficult to apply specific 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 also learn the true skills of research methods through actual operations and learning by doing. Therefore, this course will provide students with an opportunity to conduct empirical research in sociology and learn a complete set of empirical research methods through the internship of a small research project through group collaboration.
