学年学期 96学年度第2学期 开课单位 新闻硕一 新闻博一 新闻硕二 新闻博二 课程名称 (中)社会科学研究工作坊 (英)Social Science Research Workshop 授课教师 李金铨 职称 客座 教授 课程目标 This seminar is aimed at helping you to develop a thesis proposal. You are expected to produce at the end of the semester a relatively well-developed thesis proposal of approximately 20 pages long, exclusive of references. You are an innate theorist. Theories are “within” you, not “out there.” It is incumbent upon you to identify your implicit theoretical hunches, articulate them into a researchable question, and then relate this question to a certain theoretical framework. In this seminar, we shall address a host of major issues in the art of research: ‧ What is the logic of social science research? How do you conceptualize a problem? How do you integrate your life with research? ‧ What are some of the good “models” worth imitating in social science research? How did some of the leading scholars nurture their ideas, overcome the difficulties, and bring their projects to fruition? ‧ What are the epistemological and methodological discourses in social science research? ‧ How can you write a good social science report? We shall cover the logic of social research, but I do not intend to run a traditional cook-book method course. Rather, I would like to probe some meta-theoretical and meta-methdological questions, while analyzing a sample of exmemplar research that should form our standard of judgment; ultimately I hope to spark the intellectual passion in you and help you to develop necessary skills for conducting social research. 上课进度 WEEK 1: Introduction WEEK 2: Booth et al., Part III (Read at least twice to master this part.)
