Читать книгу The Research Experience - Ann Sloan Devlin - Страница 43

Before starting a course in research methods, students may have taken one or two introductory survey courses and possibly one or two more advanced content courses (i.e., courses that focus on a defined domain within a particular discipline). If students are majoring in psychology, such content courses might be in personality, social, or health psychology. In human development, these courses might focus on individual differences or social development. In sociology, possibilities might be courses dealing with sex, gender, and society; social movements; or ethic and race relations. A colleague of mine teaches a course called “Race, Ethnicity, and Baseball in the US,” which includes the role of baseball in the assimilation of immigrants. Courses are a great source of ideas, from the topics covered and theories presented to the research approaches used.
