Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to quantitatively oriented research that can be used in historical research. In the seminar, students will learn the basic assumptions and procedures of this type of research, such as the selection of the source base and processing methods, defining primary outputs, creating a database and its use, and representative outputs. Emphasis will also be placed on the possibilities of combining quantitative and qualitative research.
Students will become oriented in the principles and procedures of quantitatively oriented research applicable to historical research and will be able to select and justify an appropriate source base and methods of quantitative data processing for a specific historical research problem. They will be able to interpret the results of quantitative analysis in a historical context, present them clearly to both specialist and wider audiences, and understand the possibilities and limitations of combining quantitative and qualitative research, which they will be able to combine appropriately.
