Main themes
  • The process of a research project construction :
  • detachment and research position
  • qualitative methodology specificity within the economic and social politics field
  • methodological techniques : semi-structured interview, observation techniques, case studies, (life-)narrative inquiries.
Content
The course focuses on the social science research process and associated qualitative data collection techniques : an overview of methods and different epistemologies and types of reasoning behind them (e.g. inductive/deductive).
Teaching methods
The courses will be given face-to-face. Lectures by the teacher will alternate with time for individual and group work (exercises, analysis of texts). A teaching contract is communicated to students at the beginning of the course and posted on Moodle. It contains a detailed schedule, content and instructions for the assessments.
Evaluation methods
The assessment will be based on the oral defense, in class and in group, of a collective written work. Precise instructions are given at the beginning of the course in the teaching contract. In the case of a second session, the instructions are identical. For both sessions, the assessment language is French.
Other information
This activity takes place according to pedagogical, timetable and organisational modalities adapted to the specific public of the FOPES. We refer students to the teaching contract.
