Summary of the subject: The program of the course "Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis in Social Work" is designed for 18 lecture and 36 seminar hours. Practical classes should consolidate the theoretical knowledge of students, teach them to independently analyze and compare existing methods of collecting information in social science in quantitative and qualitative paradigms, since the awareness and qualified application of this knowledge is a guarantee of professional activity.
The subject of the course is the process of collecting and analyzing social information.
The main methodological principles of the course are: scientific, systematic, comprehensive, accessible, practical, logical, and visual.
The logic of the course is based on the logic of deploying various qualitative research tactics.
The course is studied for one semester.
In order to fulfill the main tasks of the educational process, the problem-activity technology of studying the course is used.
