Sociology (86)This project is adapting the Integrating Data Analysis (IDA) approach to undergraduate education that has been developed by the American Sociological Association and the Social Science Data Analysis Network. The IDA project is designed to address the scientific literacy gap among undergraduate students in sociology by incorporating data modules into non-research methods courses. In working with these data modules, students engage in investigative research and gain experience testing hypotheses and interpreting statistical data. The proposed project is incorporating a variety of well-designed research experiences into a range of sociology classes from the introductory ones through the most advanced electives. The common thread that defines this approach to sociology is that students are engaging in empirical research and critically evaluating data throughout their college program. Our adaptation of the IDA approach is meeting the special needs of a teaching-oriented sociology program with a high student/faculty ratio, large enrollments by non-sociology majors, and a substantial number of evening and weekend students at a non-residential Hispanic-serving and minority-serving institution.

社会学 (86)该项目正在将美国社会学协会和社会科学数据分析网络开发的整合数据分析 (IDA) 方法应用于本科教育。 IDA 项目旨在通过将数据模块纳入非研究方法课程来解决社会学本科生的科学素养差距。 在使用这些数据模块时，学生可以参与调查研究并获得测试假设和解释统计数据的经验。拟议的项目将各种精心设计的研究经验融入到一系列社会学课程中，从入门课程到最高级的选修课。定义这种社会学方法的共同点是，学生在整个大学课程中参与实证研究并批判性地评估数据。 我们对 IDA 方法的调整是为了满足以教学为导向的社会学项目的特殊需求，该项目具有高师生比、大量非社会学专业的入学人数以及在非寄宿西班牙裔服务和少数族裔服务机构中的大量夜校和周末学生。
