August 9, 2022, 14.00-15.30 (Romanian time, hybrid, in English)
In the course we will discuss the basic questions of social research: theory and practice in the research process, the objectives of the research process, the concept of causality. Thus, we will focus on two paradigms in social research – the positivist (quantitative) and the interpretive (qualitative) paradigm. Last but not least, the selection of the research method and the structure of the research process will be discussed.
