本課程在介紹廣為公共事務實務參與者與研究者用以從事決策制定及社會科學研究之基本數量方法與原則。社會科學方法的本質在於嘗試從實證資料中以建立通則的方式來了解並預測人為現象；對一般研究者而言，其最感興趣的通則是涉及變項之間的關係，而對於變項間關係之探討則始自對變項之操作化及量化和分析。本課程即在為學生爾後獨立研究之所需，打下厚實基礎。課程內容包括：一、公共事務量化研究的概要，其提供有關方法學的基本知識，旨在剖析公共事務學科的研究性質、範圍及研究步驟；二、有關資料以及資料蒐集的方法，並包括問卷調查、抽樣技術及資料的處理；三、統計方法之應用於數量資料分析、預測、和因果關係之檢定等方法、以及分析結果之詮釋的探討。This course introduces basic quantitative methods and principles widely used by public affairs practitioners and researchers in decision-making and social science research. The essence of the social science method is to try to understand and predict human phenomena by establishing general principles from empirical data; for general researchers, the general principles that they are most interested in involve the relationship between variables, and for the The exploration of relationships begins with the operationalization, quantification, and analysis of variables. This course lays a solid foundation for students to do independent research in the future. The course content includes: 1. An overview of quantitative research on public affairs, which provides basic knowledge about methodology and aims to analyze the nature, scope and research steps of the public affairs discipline; 2. Relevant data and data collection methods, including questionnaires Survey, sampling techniques and data processing; 3. Discussion of the application of statistical methods to quantitative data analysis, prediction, and testing of causal relationships, as well as the interpretation of analysis results.
