Course Objectives: |
Research Methods and Techniques course is a course that deals with the methods and techniques used in scientific research in detail and aims to provide different perspectives in order to obtain general learning accurate information based on systematic scanning and analysis to reach proven data in detailed and detailed examinations. |
Course Content: |
In the first weeks of the course, research methods are introduced and the philosophy, structure and components of the research study are discussed. In the following weeks, methods that serve science, such as scientific research approaches, theory-specific definitions, basic characteristics of science, hypothesis, observation, selection of research topic and problem, revealing the purpose and importance, and creating a research proposal are explained. In the following weeks, measurement, evaluation, validity and reliability issues are discussed, and sampling issues and methods are explained. The course also explains topics such as how to design a research, data types and sources, citation and reference, design of the survey form, method, question types and preparation of a thesis proposal. |
