本課程旨在指導社會學博士班學生，在已經完成初步文獻回顧與研究設計的基礎上，深化問題意識的理論基礎、執行研究計劃，並開始書寫研究成果。
在課程目標方面：首先，學生將繼續強化其研究問題與核心概念的關聯性，並將其置於適切的理論脈絡中進行論述。學生需學習如何將已有的文獻回顧轉化為具理論延伸性與批判性的分析架構，這不僅是論文品質的關鍵指標，也決定了後續研究能否提出創新見解。其次，學生將在本課程中進一步精緻化其研究設計，就界定研究對象、適切的研究方法、制定取樣與資料蒐集策略，並處理研究倫理與可行性問題等，藉由往返田野與文獻之間再進一步切搓。最後，開始書寫研究成果。
在課程內涵方面，學生將每兩週一次與指導教授定期會談，檢視研究進度、討論概念轉化、審視資料收集與分析的可能性，同時也將撰寫研究備忘錄或研究日誌，作為反思研究歷程與方法選擇的中介文本。課程亦鼓勵學生參與學術討論會或投稿期刊，藉由學術社群的回饋激盪出更多元的思考與修正方向。
總體而言，本課程強調博士階段「從構想到實作」的學習，重點不在灌輸固定的知識內容，而是建立學生獨立思考、批判反省與系統性規劃的能力。學生將在理論與方法之間來回穿梭，學會調整研究焦點、回應實證挑戰、並建構具社會學貢獻的學術作品。透過本課程的訓練，學生將為進入實地調查或論文寫作的下一階段做好充分準備，並逐步養成長期學術研究所需的自律、敏銳與策略思維。

This course is designed to guide students in the sociology doctoral program to deepen the theoretical basis of problem awareness, implement research plans, and start writing research results on the basis of completing the preliminary literature review and research design.
In terms of course objectives: First, students will continue to strengthen the connection between their research questions and core concepts, and discuss them in an appropriate theoretical context. Students need to learn how to transform existing literature reviews into theoretical extensions and critical analysis structures. This is not only a key indicator of the quality of the paper, but also determines whether subsequent research can provide innovative insights. Secondly, students will further refine their research design in this course, defining the research object, appropriate research methods, formulating sampling and data collection strategies, and dealing with research ethics and feasibility issues, etc., by going back and forth between the field and the literature. Finally, start writing the research results.
In terms of course content, students will have regular meetings with their supervisors every two weeks to review research progress, discuss concept transformation, and examine the possibilities of data collection and analysis. They will also write research memos or research diaries as intermediary texts to reflect on the research process and method selection. The course also encourages students to participate in academic seminars or submit articles to journals, using feedback from the academic community to stimulate more diverse thinking and revision directions.
In general, this course emphasizes "from conception to implementation" learning at the doctoral level. The focus is not on instilling fixed knowledge content, but on building students' abilities of independent thinking, critical reflection and systematic planning. Students will move back and forth between theory and method, learning to adjust research focus, respond to empirical challenges, and construct scholarly works that make sociological contributions. Through the training in this course, students will be fully prepared to enter the next stage of fieldwork or thesis writing, and gradually develop the self-discipline, acumen and strategic thinking required for long-term academic research.
