Akadēmiskais centrsPractical Research Methodology Seminar II
| The objective of this course is to provide students with understanding of basic principles and practical skills in survey design and interpretation, as well as to enable students to use SPSS tools for working with survey data. To achieve these goals several real surveys will be discussed in details during lectures and seminars. Substantial part of this course is devoted to practical work in computer class, using SPSS program for arranging survey results in a data base and its statistical and graphical analysis. The emphasis is given to questions such as "What can I do with my data?", "Which SPSS tools are better suited in one or another specific situation typical for social research?", and only after that "How to perform it technically?”. Students will use acquired skills while working (individually or in small groups) on projects.
