课程名称：研究设计：探究与发现 课程概述：本课程的主要目的在于关注良好问题的提出及其解答方式。这对于任何组织中的领导者或个人生活中的决策至关重要。课程将涵盖人类好奇心的基础、问题的发展、问题与信息收集设计方法之间的关系、变量测量、抽样、实验设计和非实验设计之间的区别、数据分析、报告以及研究项目的伦理问题。虽然将重点放在社会科学（如社会学、心理学、人类学）所采用的方法上，但我们也会讨论自然科学家和商业分析师等其他领域如何进行探究。课程不要求具备统计学的先前知识。 课程大纲： 1. 探究过程：本模块将关注探究的过程及其在寻找答案和解决问题中的系统模型，并讨论每种探究方法的基本组成部分。 2. 概念化与研究的操作化：在本模块中，我们将考虑如何提出问题或假设。该过程始于概念化，即将模糊和不精确的概念具体化的心理过程。 3. 背景研究：本模块将关注文献综述的基本组成部分，旨在深入了解特定主题或问题的主要信息来源，并明确我们的探究目标、假设和/或研究问题。 4. 抽样的重要性与研究中的伦理问题：本模块将探讨研究的可靠性和有效性，并重点讨论研究中遇到的伦理问题。
Name:The Process of Inquiry
Description:This module will focus on the process of inquiry and how that will be used as a systematic model in seeking answers and solving problems. Next, we turn to components essential to each of the inquiry approaches.
Name:Conceptualize and Operationalize Research
Description:In this module, we will consider how to develop questions or hypotheses. This process begins with conceptualization or the mental process where fuzzy and imprecise concepts are made more specific and precise.
Name:Background Research
Description:In this module, we will look at the essential components of a literature review. The purpose is both to gain a good understanding of the main sources of information concerning a particular topic or question and to clarify our inquiry objective, hypothesis and/or research question.
Name: Importance of Sampling and Ethical Issues in Research
Description:This module will explore the importance of reliability and validity. We will also focus on ethical issues encountered with research.
The main purpose of this course is to focus on good questions and how to answer them. This is essential to making considered decisions as a leader in any organization or in your life overall. Topics will include the basis of human curiosity, development of questions, connections between questions and approaches to information gathering design , variable measurement, sampling, the differences between experimental and non-experimental designs, data analysis, reporting and the ethics of inquiry projects. Emphasis will be placed on approaches used in the social sciences (i.e., sociology, psychology, anthropology), but we will also discuss how others (i.e., natural scientists, business analysts) might approach the inquiry process. No prior knowledge of statistics is required for this course.
