Sociological Research Methodology: An Introductory Cross-Sectional-Study for Jordanian Entry-Level Undergraduate Students
Abstract
This article is intended as an introductory cross-sectional-study of works on social research writing. It is meant for those interested in social research writing of all levels, generally speaking, but for Jordanian entry-level undergraduate students in particular. It covers the scientific method of social inquiry, including questions of how to formulate a research problem, how to gather references and how to actually write research, keeping in mind that research is a circular rather than linear process. It is the hope of the author that Jordanian entry-level undergraduate students especially will find the works summarized in this article, in addition to the research tools they discuss, useful. Moreover, this study is intended as a contribution to the subject of sociological research methodology as a whole.
