Course objectives: This course will introduce the students to the basics of quantitative r in education, and more broadly in social sciences. The students will be presented with the errors in the creation, analysis and interpretation of data from questionnaires, based on of educational research. Other quantitative research methods (e.g. observation, experiment differential) will be discussed on an individual basis with the students interested in the students will also be presented with the available paid collections of e-resources (EBSCO, JSTOR, Willey InterScience e-journals, Science Direct, Sage fulltexts, ERIC) and their use research problems and the design of questionnaires. The course aims to introduce doctoral practical aspects of the preparation, implementation and analysis of quantitative research demonstrations will also contain a basic introduction to the statistical processing of res (with a demonstration of processing using the SPSS statistical software), including multiv however, an introduction to statistics is neither the aim nor the content of the course. T design their own research tools and carry out their own pilot studies. Both in personal me the e-learning environment, the course participants will hold a systematic discourse about experience, which will culminate in a final conference. Topics: 1. Logic, benefits and limitations of quantitative research (compared with qualitative res quantitative research designs, formulation of research questions and hypotheses, reviewing 2. Representativeness (concepts of sample, population, etc.), types of probabilistic and n sampling techniques, selection error and response rates – concrete examples and demonstrat techniques typical for educational settings. 3. Designing the questionnaire (the role of theory, retrieval of research information, use scales and questionnaires), construction and structure of questionnaires, formulation of q of questions. 4.
