Teaching empirical research methods in Information Systems (IS) in the short time span of a university course presents practical challenges in terms of ensuring that the course is aligned with state-of-the-art approaches to teaching empirical research methods in the international academic community.
Why do a workshop?
The main aim of this workshop is to build a network of Scandinavian and international scholars, that will serve as a platform to share concerns, lessons learned, and to propose solutions towards improving the agenda for teaching empirical research methods in IS and the neighboring fields on the master and PhD level.
The network of scholars participating in the workshop will be invited to participate in the following outcomes:
- Establishing a research network focused on teaching empirical research methods in IS;
- A call for papers for an edited book, including peer-reviewed contributions and reflections by the workshop participants;
- A compiled manual, providing an overview of the best practices in teaching empirical research method in IS and neighboring fields, that could serve as a guide for teachers and supervisors at the master and PhD level;
- A working version of a curriculum on teaching empirical methods in IS (at least at the PhD level). This curriculum will be co-written by the community.
