The Faculty of Sociology is a study that considers various phenomena in "society".You may be wondering what you will study at university.After graduating from the Faculty of Sociology, the most useful thing is "methods for investigating society," that is, "social research."
Social research is divided into quantitative research and qualitative research.Leaving aside the specifics of social research, we will be working on social research training in various classes.This time I will introduce fieldwork.Fieldwork, as the name suggests, is a method of going out to the field and acquiring various data.In terms of marketing, this is a mystery shopper, a so-called masked survey (a surveyor suddenly visits a store with a mask).Fieldwork is used in various industries, such as business improvement by consulting companies and regional surveys by public officials.
The class “Social Design Practice” deals with specific themes.For example, "Open the town40"Find out the problems of Port Island as the years have passed."
In these surveys, we go to the site, listen to stories, and make notes.Creating this notebook also requires skill.
There are things that you cannot understand unless you go to the site, and things that you can think about because you go to the site.At the Faculty of Social Sciences, we value learning that can be used in the field.
