| Goals | Within the scope of this course, it is aimed to inform the student about research methods. It is aimed that the student will have the knowledge and ability to form research hypotheses by gaining the knowledge of how to choose the research topic, what can and cannot be the research topic. Depending on the data collection in the application process of the research, it is thought that the student will acquire the necessary distinctions and features about the distinction between qualitative and quantitative research and its application areas. |
| Course Content | Science and basic concepts (fact, knowledge, absolute, true, false, universal knowledge, etc.), basic information about the history of science, the structure of scientific research, scientific methods and different views on these methods, problem, research model, universe and sample, data collection and data collection methods (quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques), data recording, analysis, interpretation and reporting. |
