Programme

The teaching is aimed at providing students an introduction of the methodologies, theoretical approaches, tools and practices of applied social research. It also intends to present in an organic way the elements of application of research techniques to the "social services".
At the end of the course the students will have acquired the awareness and the ability to reflect on: a) which research question can be set on a given social phenomenon, b) which methodological tools are useful for the production of scientific knowledge, c) the importance of the culture and professional responsibility of the researcher and of the social researcher.
