This document discusses different approaches to designing research. It contrasts quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative research aims to measure concepts accurately and predict likelihoods by counting social phenomena. Issues raised are that it treats people like test tubes and measures artificial things. Qualitative research seeks to understand experiences through rich description and showing how social change occurs. Issues are that the findings are subjective and hard to generalize. The document provides examples of qualitative methods like ethnography and interviews. It discusses using both approaches as a compromise and choice in research. In the end, it introduces Copernicus Consulting Group which helps brands understand social changes using sociological expertise.Social Media for Scientists

Social media can be useful tools for scientists in three main areas:
1) Networking to maintain and make new contacts, obtain and share information about research and opportunities.
2) Science communication to explain research to colleagues, get feedback, and broaden understanding.
3) Public outreach to increase visibility, educate and inspire, and demonstrate science's relevance. Maintaining an online presence through sites like Twitter, Facebook, and ResearchGate can help with networking, communication and outreach.Critical thinking vs. creative thinking
Critical thinking vs. creative thinkingJANNETH OBISPO

Thinking is a voluntary cognitive process that we use to make sense of the world. There are different types of thinking, including critical thinking and creative thinking.
Critical thinking involves carefully analyzing and evaluating ideas, and using logic and evidence to form judgments. Creative thinking focuses on generating novel and unique ideas by making connections in an open and playful way.
Edward de Bono developed the "Six Thinking Hats" method to separate thinking into six colors or modes, including white for information, red for emotions, black for caution, yellow for optimism, green for creativity, and blue for organization and control.Critical thinking vs. creative thinking

Christian Bokhove gave a presentation on "Five Things Every Teacher Needs to Know About Research". He discussed how education research creates a "softer" form of knowledge than natural sciences due to human unpredictability. He explained challenges with determining cause-and-effect and how single studies don't define fields. Bokhove also emphasized accounting for context and definitions when measuring concepts. The key takeaways are that education research has its own strengths; correlation doesn't imply causation; one study doesn't negate others; context is important; and measurement requires understanding what is being measured.Workshop 4 - WHAT - Creative thinking
