Abstract

JOSE, José de São. Teaching/Learning Social Research Methods and Techniques: a Contribution For Developing a Pedagogical Culture. SOCIOLOGIA ON LINE [online]. 2020, n.24, pp.11-26.  Epub Jan 18, 2022. ISSN 1647-3337.  https://doi.org/10.30553/sociologiaonline.2020.24.1.

The teaching and learning of social research methods has expanded significantly over the last decades and is expected to continue to expand and become even more relevant due to the increasing value that universities, research centers, companies and other organizations ascribe to research capacity. However, there is no pedagogical culture in teaching/learning social research methods, i.e., we do not have a systematic discussion or research on all aspects of teaching/learning these methods. By sharing his experience in teaching curricular units of this scientific area, and reflecting on this experience in light of the specialized literature, the author contributes to the discussion of pedagogical aspects in teaching/learning social research methods, an important and overdue discussion in Portugal. After concluding that his pedagogical principles and practices are in line with those recommended by the revised literature, the author proposes pedagogical principles (and pedagogical practices) that allow to overcome some of its main limitations.

Keywords : pedagogical culture; teaching/learning; social research methods; social sciences..
