| CON4015 | Data-Based Quantitative Research Methods | 3 | 3 | Major | Bachelor/Master | Consumer Science | English | Yes | |
| Data-Based Quantitative Research Methods is a methodological course that introduces the core principles of quantitative research and the procedures of data-driven empirical analysis used across the social sciences. The course is designed to help students understand the full process through which quantitative research formulates research questions, organizes and analyzes data, interprets statistical results, and ultimately derives evidence-based conclusions. Students will learn essential concepts in quantitative inquiry, including research design, variable measurement, sampling strategies, and assessments of validity and reliability. Through hands-on work with Stata, they will conduct key stages of empirical analysis such as data cleaning, descriptive statistics, exploratory data analysis, and regression modeling. This practical engagement will enhance their applied research skills. By the end of the course, students will be able to recognize data structures and patterns, interpret analytical outputs, and use empirical evidence to explain social phenomena. The course focuses on building a strong conceptual understanding of quantitative research and developing students’ capacity to apply data effectively across a wide range of social science research contexts. | |||||||||
