Main themes |
In order to achieve these aims, the seminar work will focus among other on
- (a) the case study under its multiple forms (e.g. participant observation, interview),
- (b) the quantitative approach (e.g. questionnaires and tests), and
- (c) the hermeneutics of texts and content analysis (e.g. historical-critical method, structural analysis).
Exercises will provide the opportunity to understand in a practical way the logic proper to each method (passive understanding of all three types of methods and ability to use at least one of them).
|
Aims |
At the end, the student shall be able to
- understand the different methodological approaches, qualitative as well as quantitative, required for the analysis of religious facts within the main disciplines of the sciences of religions
- identify the specific character of these approaches and their complementarity
- use at least one of these approaches, particularly in the preparation of the thesis required for the Master degree (see also "Other information").
