This doctoral course provides a comprehensive foundation in the philosophy and practice of scientific research. It guides students through the entire research process, from identifying and articulating meaningful research questions to developing coherent frameworks and methodologies. Emphasis is placed on the ability to think critically, evaluate existing literature, and design studies that contribute novel insights to the field. Students will learn how to structure a research proposal, justify methodological choices, and align their work with ethical and academic standards. The course also cultivates scholarly writing skills and critical reflection, enabling participants to engage with research not only as producers of knowledge but also as informed evaluators of others’ work.
