Research Seminar II deepens the work initiated in Seminar I, focusing on the planning and design of research projects in Social Work. It aims to equip students with the ability to transform an initial idea into a methodologically rigorous, ethically sound, and scientifically grounded research proposal.
By the end of the course, students should be able to:

1. Formulate a clear and relevant research problem;
2. Define coherent general and specific research objectives;
3. Develop a solid theoretical framework based on current scientific literature;
4. Select and justify appropriate methodological approaches;
5. Define suitable sampling strategies;
6. Identify data collection techniques aligned with the study;
7. Plan basic data analysis procedures;
8. Integrate ethical principles and scientific integrity into the research design;
9. Prepare a coherent and well-founded pre-project to be further developed in Research Seminar III
