Erasmus code / ISCED:	14.4 The subject classification code consists of three to five digits, where the first three represent the classification of the discipline according to the Discipline code list applicable to the Socrates/Erasmus program, the fourth (usually 0) - possible further specification of discipline information, the fifth - the degree of subject determined based on the year of study for which the subject is intended. / (0313) Psychology The ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education) code has been designed by UNESCO.
Course title:	(unknown)
Name in Polish:	Survey Methods
Organizational unit:	Faculty of Psychology
Course groups:
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	2.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language:	English
Prerequisites (description):	(in Polish) specjalizacja 315
Short description:	The primary objective of the workshop is to familiarize the participants with the methodology of survey research and the subsequent stages of this type of research. During the workshop the entire research process will be presented and discussed, starting from the stage of sample selection to the development of results in the form of a ready-to-archive dataset prepared following NCN requirements and accompanying research documentation.
Learning outcomes:	It is expected that upon completion of the course, participants will be prepared to meaningfully plan their own survey-type research and be able to critically evaluate the methodological quality of survey data delivered by others (including research agencies).

Full description:	The starting point of the course is to discuss the issue of randomness and representativeness of the sample, as well as the criteria that the sample must meet to make inferences about the population on its basis which is the focus of the survey method. This issue will be discussed primarily within the framework of the TSE (Total Survey Error) paradigm, which organizes the types and kinds of errors that occur in surveys. Thus, the workshop will have a two-sided focus - on the one hand, we will discuss how to properly conduct survey research, and on the other hand, we will discuss the most common errors and their consequences for the primary purpose of this type of research - inferring about the population based on information obtained from the sample. In the next step, variants of survey-type research (indirect and direct measurement techniques) will be discussed, as well as the stages of the research process using the example of a small project conducted with the participation of workshop attendances in the meaning of their engagement into the fieldwork stage.
