| Description | The book presents an innovative approach to teaching social science methodology that seeks to shed its reputation as a dull and inaccessible subject. It focuses on the use of journal writing and interactive exercises through which students develop research skills by analyzing their own experiences and everyday situations. The teaching methods are grounded in principles of constructivism and compassionate research, with an emphasis on connecting academic concepts to the practical needs of professionally oriented fields. Readers are introduced to concrete techniques such as free writing, creating “hundred-item lists,” and fictional interviews, which help organize thoughts and foster deeper self-reflection. The final section of the book includes interviews with various practitioners that illustrate how regular reflective writing can support both personal development and professional growth. Overall, the book aims to demonstrate that scientific thinking is a natural part of human life and can serve as an effective tool for addressing real-world problems in practice. |
