Education is one of humanity's most essential pillars. It continues to evolve and transform future generations. Regardless of the pathway, students and professors actively engage in innovative experiences that promote student creativity and critical thinking skills. Each learning experience is interweaved with research that intersects the social sciences. Research in the social sciences is essential as researchers investigate new phenomena, such as the impact of technology on education, the dynamics of social movements, or the effects of political policies on society, relevant to a wide range of interests, including education, social anthropology, politics, the environment, business, and technology.

As a graduate student, your course of study is unique to your area of interest, and research methodology in the social sciences will provide a gateway to uncovering fascinating discoveries. Understanding the various research methods is a fundamental prerequisite to your success as a scholar. When students engage in social science research, they create the framework that provides insight into identifying the reasons for the investigation or project, mining data, selecting primary data markers, and, most importantly, identifying and addressing the ethical issues when conducting research. Research methodology includes analyzing qualitative, quantitative, ethnography, and quasi-experiment research methods with a keen eye on moral considerations, ensuring that your study is insightful, responsible, and conscientious.

At the Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics, your position as a scholar and reflective practitioner continues to enrich others as you engage in a productive struggle to find solutions and answers to new ideas, problems, and projects.
