Course Content
Based on the fundamental knowledge and practices students have acquired, the aim is to define the research process (problem identification, data collection, data analysis, and interpretation of results), to understand the main scientific research methods, and to grasp the techniques necessary for students to conduct research on a specific topic, including literature review, data collection, data evaluation, and report writing.
Objectives of the Course
This course aims to examine the research process (problem identification, data collection, data analysis, and interpretation of results), review fundamental scientific research methods (qualitative and quantitative), and enable students to learn practical techniques such as literature review, data collection, data evaluation, and report writing necessary for conducting research on a specific topic.
