Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

Dieses Seminar ist für Doktoratsstudierendealler sozialwissenschaftlichen Fächer geeignet, die sich in frühen Phasen der Planung empirischer Dissertationsthemen befinden. Es soll den TeilnehmerInnen Unterstützung bei der Planung ihrer Dissertationsprojekte inklusive der Erstellung von Exposés bieten. Es geht also vor allem darum, auf Basis eines gut recherchierten Forschungsstandes klare Forschungsfragen zu definieren und Studien zu konzipieren, die diese Forschungsfragen auch tatsächlich beantworten können. In dieser Phase des Doktoratsstudiums kann Mentoring durch forschungserfahrene Personen außerhalb des direkten Betreuungsverhältnissesbesonders hilfreich sein. 

Häufig haben Studierende in der ersten Phase des Doktoratsstudiums einerseits Schwierigkeiten mit der Konkretisierung einer allgemeinen Fragestellung in ein Studiendesign, andererseits mit der überzeugenden Darstellung der Studie im Exposé. Daher stehen dieseThemen im Vordergrund; darüber hinaus ist das Seminar stark an den konkreten Bedürfnissen der jeweiligen Studierenden orientiert.

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

Diskussion, Feedback zu Texten in der Gruppe und bei Bedarf einzeln, Inputs der Seminarleiterin und der Studierenden zu Themen im Zusammenhang mit Literaturrecherche, Themenfindung, Studienplanung, Exposé.

Course content

 Fixe Bestandteile sind, dass die Studierenden (1) ihren aktuellen Planungsstand präsentieren und (2) eigeneTexte (Exposés oder Exposé-Teile, v.a. Literaturüberblick und/oder Fragestellung/Methodik) abgeben, die von allen Teilnehmenden gelesen werden; anschließend wird in der Gruppe und bei Bedarf auch einzeln konstruktives Feedback gegeben. Daneben werden Inputs der Seminarleiterin zu den oben genannten sowie von den Studierenden zu benennenden weiteren Themen angeboten. Weiters wird „Hilfe zu rSelbsthilfe“ ermöglicht bzw. unterstützt, indem die Studierenden selbst bereits erworbene Kompetenzen (etwa in qualitativen und quantitativen Auswertungsmethoden, Literaturverarbeitung etc.) an die KollegInnen weitergeben.

Intended learning outcomes

This seminar is suitable for doctoral students in all fields of the social sciences in the early phases of empirical research projects. The main goal is to support the participants in planning their dissertation projects, including writing the exposé. In that phase, students are expected to formulate clear research questions on the basis of a sound literature review and to plan studies that can actually answer these research questions. Mentoring from experienced researchers other than the direct supervisors can be particularly helpful at this stage.

Students in the early phases of their dissertation often have difficulty with narrowing down a general research question into a specific study design as well as with presenting their study in a convincing way in the exposé. Therefore, the seminar focuses on these topics. In addition, it is oriented at the concrete needs of the respective students.

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

Discussion; feedback for texts in the group setting and, if required, individually; inputs from the course teacher and from students on topics concerning literature research, finding a research question, planning a study writing an exposé, etc. 

Course content

Generally, students are required to (1) present their current state of planning and (b) submit written texts (exposés or parts of exposés, especially the sections on literature review or research question/methods). These texts are read by all participants, and constructive feedback is given by the group and also, if needed, individually. In addition, the course teacher provides inputs on the topics named above and others as requested by the students. In addition, "self-help" is enabled, as students are encouraged to share competencies they have acquired (e.g., concerning qualitative or quantitative methods, literature management, etc.) with their colleagues.
