It is recommended to have previously studied subjects related to research methodology (quantitative and qualitative).
This module of the master's degree deals with advanced content in terms of methodological instruments used in statistics and qualitative research methods. Apart from the formal aspects of obligatory knowledge and application in all research work, the subject is oriented towards effective and practical work with methodological instruments of both quantitative and qualitative types, and emphasizes the social and territorial approach. Is works with multivariate statistical analysis methods, database management, method application quantitative and qualitative, diagnosis and territorial proposal.
In addition to the contents mentioned, this module has a section in which the methodology is worked with which the Final Master's Thesis must be prepared
Preparation of the Master's Final Project (professor Jordi Nadal)
In these first sessions of the module, guidelines will be given to prepare the Master's Final Project
4 sessions of 2 hours:
Qualitative methodology (professor Miguel Solana)
The objective of these sessions will be to know the use and limitations of the main qualitative analysis techniques focused on territorial studies and the elaboration of planning and planning proposals. The sessions will combine theoretical aspects with practical sessions with qualitative analysis software programs. The sessions will work on the following aspects:
8 sessions of 2 hours (teacher Miguel Solana):
4 sessions of 2 hours:
Quantitative methodology (professors Joaquín Recaño)
Numerical and spatial tools for the analysis of residential segregation and socioeconomic inequalities in urban areas.
The objective of this module is to introduce students to different techniques and methodologies of numerical and spatial analysis that will be very useful when addressing the analysis of urban spaces.
Computer tools for qualitative information analysis (CAQDAS).
8 sessions of 2 hours (professor Joaquín Recaño):
4 sessions of 2 hours
The work methodology will combine: face-to-face classes (methodological presentation by the teacher); seminar sessions (discussions and debates based on previous presentations); practices with computer software (calculation practices in the computer room); group and individualized tutorials; commentary on bibliography readings; and autonomous work of the student.
Distribution of tasks:
The subject is divided into three blocks: qualitative methods, quantitative methods and methodology to prepare the Master's Final Project
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
