Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Objectives: The research and interpretation of scientific literature is an essential practice of scientific work. This also applies to the production of seminar papers and bachelor's theses. In addition to the interpretation of literature in the introduction and theory section of academic papers, academic texts can be used and interpreted as data. This genre is also referred to as literature review. As usual in educational science, systematic, qualitative and quantitative methods are used to interpret the texts. This seminar teaches the interpretation of texts using quantitative methods known as distant reading.

Contents: You will learn how to formulate precise database queries for researching literature, how to document the collection of data using the PRISMA scheme and how to interpret data using distant reading methods.

Method: In the course, you will conduct research independently and in exchange with your colleagues and the lecturer: You will research literature on a topic of your own choice, document the research results, analyze the literature using quantitative methods and present the results in a short lecture.

Assessment and permitted materials

Assessment will be based on
- the documentation of a text research,
- the documentation of a text interpretation using quantitative methods and
- the presentation and documentation of the results in a short lecture.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimum requirement:
- Attendance at all sessions
- Conducting and documenting text research
- Carrying out and documenting a text interpretation using quantitative methods
- Presentation of the results in a documented short talk

Assessment standard:
- Documentation of text research: 30 points
- Documentation of a text interpretation using quantitative methods: 30 points
- Presentation and documentation of the results in a short lecture: 40 points
50 points are required for a positive assessment of the course.
1 (very good) 80-100 points
2 (good) 70-79 points
3 (satisfactory) 60-69 points
