Research workshop – content analysis 2103-ORP-M-D3WBAT
Research workshops - content analysis, consist of independent definition of the research problem and the subject of the research - however, due to the field of study, it must concern a selected social issue or a social problem related to the labor market.
During the classes, students conduct two independent studies (mini-group research is acceptable) consisting of:
1. analysis of statistical data regarding selected indicators on the labor market;
2. analysis of the content of diaries and studies related to the labor market (e.g. diaries of the unemployed, emigrants and others) in the perspective of a selected social issue or the unsatisfaction/fulfillment of selected needs.
Preparation requires time to read the readings assigned to the classes.

Prerequisites (description)
Learning outcomes
Ability to plan and carry out the entire study independently.
Ability to identify a relevant social problem (research problem).
Ability to select the research technique, indicators, develop the research tool, verify the results, compile the results, verify the research hypothesis and compile the report (as well as the ability to present it).
At the end of the course students know and understand:
- K_W02 in depth the principles and methods of diagnosing and defining problems in the public sphere,
- K_W05 in-depth methodology of public policy research and the place of public policy in the system of social sciences,
- K_W06 in-depth principles and methods of public policy evaluation,
- K_W12 the importance of intellectual and industrial property protection in public policy research.
At the same time students are able to:
- K_U01 critically analyse the processes of formation and solution of problems in the public sphere,
- K_U04 design and conduct own research in the field of public policy (including evaluation research), including formulation and testing of hypotheses related to a specific research problem,
- K_U06 present the results of research and analysis in the field of public policy in an oral and written form, setting them in a broader methodological and theoretical context and taking into account a diverse range of audiences,
- K_U09 interact with others as part of a task team, assuming various roles in it, including team management skills,
- K_U10 complement and improve their knowledge and skills in the field of public policy as part of lifelong learning, and motivate others to undertake lifelong education.
After carrying out their own empirical research, students are ready to:
- K_K01 critically evaluate the scientific and social debate in the area of public policy, as well as their participation in it, including recognising the importance of scientific evidence and the role of experts in the process of creating and implementing public policy public policy.
Assessment criteria
During subsequent classes, students discuss the various stages of their work, either individually or in small groups. A plan for future actions is established through discussion (identifying the project's strengths and weaknesses).
The final assessment takes into account not only the proper execution of the independent research but also the complexity of the research problem, access to source materials, and the scope of those materials (which influences the reliability of findings and the ability to draw broader conclusions).
Progress, engagement, adherence to deadlines, and student initiative in conducting the research are all evaluated.
The verification of learning outcomes is conducted entirely without the aid of artificial intelligence; students rely solely on their own knowledge, understanding, and skills.
Artificial intelligence may not be used at any stage of the assessment process.
