Students participate in practical training units that address different techniques of surveying as a basis to systemically organise and categorise their findings. Field work in the urban context serves as “living lab” to explore, experience and evaluate different factors of the urban realm and to contextualize quantitative and qualitative research. They are prepared how to operationalise and communicate the results. Skills include • Understanding the structure of scientific inquiry • Systematically examining research articles • Defining Research Questions & Hypotheses • Data Collection (quantitative & qualitative) • Data Analysis (descriptive & inferential) • Logical Thinking and Argumentation • Structuring an own research proposal |
