Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

What is science? How do you work scientifically? Why is the philosophy of science relevant for your academic work? What is the role of science in the digital age? Is science political or value-laden? These and numerous related questions will be systematically explored within the course in a collaborative manner. The goal of the seminar is to establish a sound understanding of science and comprehend the relevance of the philosophy of science for your own academic work in human geography. Scientific literacy is the core competence that is developed throughout the course and a prerequisite for future academic work in the M.Sc. Geographies of Global Change and Sustainability Transformations.
After successful completion of the course the students are familiar with key terms of the philosophy of science and the elements of a research design. To that end, the course explores the choice of empirical methods based on identified research gaps and the formulated research questions. Furthermore, skills for sound argumentation in writing and presenting your own research are developed. The course enables the student to understand and work with scientific literature and utilize it correctly in one’s own research. Lastly, the course aims to create awareness for the ethical aspects of research and knowledge production in the digital age and in times of the politization of science.
The course is held in English. Basic knowledge of English is required to follow, participate and complete the course. Language competence will not be graded. Instead, the aim is to improve oral and written English language skills and provide a safe environment for engaging in scientific discussions.
The following competencies are developed after successful completion of the course. The student is able to…
I) understand and explain the key terms of the philosophy of science
II) comprehend the elements of a research design
III) find, access and utilize scientific literature
IV) give and provide guided feedback on scientific presentations
V) critically reflect on the use of technological tools and the institution of science
