The Faculty of Sociology strives to provide education based on the two paths of pursuing scientific principles and practicing their application. The general established faculty-wide subjects include Introduction to Sociology, Introduction to Social Research, Social Research, and Stafistical Date Processing and Practice / Web Based Information Processing and Practice. There are various courses in the particularly important subject of Social Research, and they provide rich and useful course contents.

A lot of the knowledge, such as theories, information processing, social statistics, and the up-to-date research results learned in other classes, will be applied to these Social Research courses. A true understanding of society and humanity cannot merely be gained from books or the Internet; rather, it is derived from hands-on experience in the relevant field.

教育目標

さまざまな領域の学問に触れ、知識を身につけることで、幅広く社会学を理解。そしてフィールドワークの経験を積み実証調査の能力を高めることで、社会で実際に起こっている出来事に対し多角的にアプローチできる力を養います。

概要

学理追求とその応用実践という2つのベクトルを柱にした教育を目指し、学部共通の科目として「社会学概論」「社会調査入門」「社会調査および実習」「統計/ウェブ情報処理および実習」を設置しています。なかでも特に重要な科目と捉えている「社会調査および実習」には多様なコースをそろえ、充実した科目内容を提供しています。

理論、最新の研究成果、社会統計、情報処理など他の授業で学んだ多くの知識が、この「社会調査および実習」へ応用されます。人間や社会についての本質的な理解は、本やインターネットからではなく、フィールドから自らの手で導き出すものです。
