Course Description

In the second part of the course we will concentrate on empirical data collection and data analyses. We will cover practical issues of questionnaire, interview, observation designs and their deliveries as well as various methods for analyzing collected data. The course will also provide support for academic writing and finalizing theses or scientific publications. Sessions will be held on Thursdays at 13:45 - 17:00 and individual appointments with Zsolt Lavicza will be available on Thursday mornings [appointment sign-up here]. On Friday mornings following the Thursday sessions, we will have additional meetings at 9:00-12:00 in Altenberger Str. 52 to discuss further topics and advanced educational research methods. Everyone participating in the Thursday sessions are welcome to attend the Friday sessions as well.
