Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
- Active participation in the course with short presentations;
- Independent reading of the compulsory literature;
- Development of a participatory research concept in small groups;
- Presentation of this concept and application of a participatory method in practice;
- Preparation of a written report (including the compulsory literature) including reflection on the independent implementation in small groupsImportant Grading Information:
All students who received a place in the course are assessed if they have not deregistered from the course in due time or if they have not credibly shown an important reason for their failure to deregister after the cause for this reason does no longer apply
Students who credibly show an important reason (e.g. a longer illness) for the withdrawal from a course with continuous assessment are not assessed.
Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer. The request for deregistration must be submitted immediately.
The positive assessment of all partial performances is a prerequisite for a positive assessment of the entire course, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading.
The use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for the production of texts is only permitted if this is expressly requested by the lecturer (e.g. for individual work tasks).
In order to ensure good scientific practice, the lecturer can provide for a "grading-related discussion" of the written work submitted, which must be completed successfully.
If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as "not assessed" and recorded accordingly.
You can find these and other provisions in the study law: https://satzung.univie.ac.at/studienrecht/.
In case you have received three negative assessments of a continuously assessed course and want to register for a fourth attempt, please make sure to contact the StudiesServiceUnit Sociology during the registration period (for more information see "third attempt for continuously assessed courses" https://soziologie.univie.ac.at/info/pruefungen/#c56313)

The main goal of the course is to get to knowledge about the approaches of participatory research and central participatory techniques. Students also gain knowledge about the possibilities of participatory research approaches in sociology and learn about the role of Co-researchers. Participatory approaches aim to involve co-researchers in knowledge production at different levels of intensity and at different research stages in order to understand the social realities. Participation and knowledge-co-production can be implement when developing the research questions, the interview guidelines or in the analysis and dissemination phase.Contents:
At first, the course introduces participatory research approaches (action research, participatory research, community-based research) and highlights parallels and differences to well-known approaches of qualitative social research.
In conjunction, the students use scientific texts and independent research references to develop important concepts of participatory research, such as the positionality of the researcher her-/himself, proximity and distance, the role of reflection, research principles and ethical considerations in participatory research. Examples of participatory techniques and methods in the field of childhood research (visual participatory methods such as children's drawings, concept cartoon discussions and reflexive photography) and urban research (spatial qualitative methods such as walking interviews and mental maps) are explained.Methods:
Group working, individual reading of relevant references including discussion and statements in the course; presentations; written report;
The students read the literature independently. A participatory research concept is developed together in small groups and an example of a technique of this approach is carried out, and documented in writing and presented.
