Inquiry into social science research that enables students to ask meaningful questions and conduct research to find reliable and valid answers to those questions. Students explore traditional and non-traditional data collection methods, tools for analysis, and current research trends. Students engage in the empirical research process by identifying research questions and hypotheses, reviewing past research, collecting and analyzing data, and evaluating the credibility of published research findings. As part of this course students will identify and delve more deeply into a content area within the Science of Science Communication field to build greater knowledge about how specific areas of science communication are interpreted, measured, and disseminated. Numerical and statistical concepts to analyze and interpret empirical data will be explored using a commonly used statistical package (e.g., Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, SPSS).
