Learning outcomes |
This curricular unit introduces students to CPRI research, emphasising its nature, relevance and variety. The course aims to enable students to carry out fundamental scientific research tasks independently, as well as recognise and critically apply the stages of the research process in specific cases. These objectives are supported by an active learning teaching method combining theoretical and practical sessions, collective debate and reflection, exercises, group work, quizzes and peer feedback. This is complemented by the use of digital tools and the e-learning platform.
By the end of the course, each student should be able to:
1. Understand the nature, relevance and diversity of research in Political Science and International Relations;
2. Carry out fundamental scientific research tasks independently.
3. Recognise the stages of the research process and analyse how they are applied in specific cases.
