Tujuan: Matakuliah ECON 11001 Metodologi Penelitian in i bertujuan membekali

mahasiswa/i dengan pengertian dan pengalaman empiris tentang proses dan prosedur
melakukan penelitian ilmiah secara umum pada ilmu sosial dan juga khusus diterapkan pada
penelitian ilmu ekonomi. Mata kuliah ini dirancang untuk membekali mahasiswa kompetensi
dalam menghasilkan rancangan penelitian. Hal ini akan dapat dicapai apabila mahasiswa
menyelesaikan pekerjaan rumah yaitu dengan menjawab pertanyaan hasil bacaan dari buku
teks dan terkait dengan artikel pilihan oleh mahasiswa. Latihan tersebut menjadi dasar
pembuatan Rancangan Penelitian sebagai hasil karya mahasiswa yang diajukan dalam dua
tahap: (1) karya awal: Rancangan atau Disain Penelitian (konseptual) yang diajukan sebagai
pengganti UTS (Ujian Tengah Semester); (2) karya akhir: Laporan Penelitian dengan Metode
Unobstrusive Research atau Big Data (misal menggunakan data dari Twiter, Facebook,
BBM, WA, Aplikasi Gojek dll ) sebagai pengganti UAS (Ujian Akhir Semester). Laporan
merupakan hasil karya perorangan.

Dalam pelaksanaannya, mahasiswa akan diperkenalkan pada cara kerja perorangan dan
kelompok, yang makin dipercaya lebih mungkin menghasilkan prestasi terbaik perorangan
karena keseluruhan lebih besar dari jumlah bagiannya (the whole is greater than the sum of
its parts). Minat makro dan mikro akan terakomodasi, serta mahasiswa juga diperkenalkan
pada cara kerjasama dan kerja perorangan, dan juga cara mengumpulkan data kuantitatif dan
kualitatif, serta hasil pengalaman mengamati kegiatan/usaha empiris. Secara singkat
matakuliah ini bertujuan memberi mahasiswa pengalaman empiris membangun pengetahuan
yang dibutuhkan untuk melaksanakan penelitian ilmiah.

ANTI PLAGIAT
Sementara diingatkan bahwa sivitas akademika Universitas Indonesia dilarang melakukan
plagiat, yang pada intinya tidak berbeda dari mencuri. Karenanya kegiatan ini akan dikenakan
sanksi yang ketat, diberi nilai gagal dan bahkan gelar kesarjanaan tidak diperoleh, dan bahkan
dikemudian hari bisa dicabut. Yang dimaksud dengan plagiat adalah: (1) hasil kerja orang

3. Using one of the many search engines (such as Google,
Bing, Yahoo, Chrome, or another of your choosing), find
information on the web concerning at least three of the
following paradigms: functionalism, symbolic
interactionism, conflict paradigm, ethnomethodology,
feminist paradigms, critical race theory, rational
objectivity. Give the web locations and report on the
theorists discussed in connection with the information
you found.
4. See if you can locate Judith A. Howard (2000), Social
Psychological of Identities, Annual Review of Sociology
26:367 -93 .doi: 10.1146. What paradigm does Howard
find most useful for the study of social identities ? Explain
why she feels that it is the appropriate paradigm. Do you
agree? Why or why not?

4 3 The Ethics and Politics 1. Consider the following real and hypothetical research
of Social Research situations. What is the ethical component in each
example? How do you feel about it? Do you think the
procedures described are ultimately acceptable or
unacceptable? Might find discussing some of these
situasions with classmates useful:
a. A psychology instructor asks students in an
introductory psychology class to complete
questionnaires that the instructor will analyze and
use in preparing a journal article for publication.
b. After a field study of deviant behavior during a riot,
law enforcement officials demand that the
researcher identify those people who were observed
looting. Rather than risk arrest as an accomplice
after the fact, the researcher complies.
c. After completing the final draft of a book reporting a
research project, the researcher-author discover
that 25 of the 2000 survey interviewers were
falsified by interviewers. To protect the bulk of the
research, the author leaves out this information and
publishes the book.
d. A researcher studying dorm life on campus discovers
that 60 percent of the residents regularly violate
restriction on alcohol consumption. Publication on
this finding would probably create a furor in the
campus community. Because no extensive analysis
of alcohon use is planned, the resercher decides to
keep this finding quiet.
e. A researcher pretends to join a radical political group
in order to study it and is successfully accepted as a
member of the inner planning circle. What should
the researcher do if the group makesplans for the
following: (1) a peaceful, though illegal,
demonstration; (2) The bombing of a public building

face, and how could she or she aviod them? What ethical
issues should the researcher take into account in
designing the survey?

example where an observed relationship between two
variables could actually be explained away by a third
variable?

locate a research project involving a panel study.
Describe the nature of the study design and its primary
findings.

6 5 Conceptualization, 1. Pick a social science concept such as liberalism or

Operationalization, alienation, then specify that concept so that it could be

web browser to search for this term. After reviewing
several of the websites resulting from your search, make
a list of some different forms of prejudice that might be
studied in a omnibus project dealing with that topic
4. In a dictionary, look up truth and true, then copy out the
definitions. Note the key terms use in those definitions
(such as reality), look up the definitions of those terms,
and copy out these definitions as well. Continue this
process until no new terms appear. Comment on what
you have learned from this exercise. Did you discover

Research very familiar with. In two or three paragraphs, describe
how an outsider might effectively go about studying that
group or activity. What should he or she read, what
contacts should be made, and so on?

incrimination. Be sure to specify units of analysis and
sampling methods. Describe a coding scheme that you
could use for the contents analysis.
2. Identify an international news story involving a conflict
between two nations or cultural groups, such as clashes
between Israelis and Palestinians. On the internet, locate
a newspaper report of the event from within each of the
countries or cultures involved. Note difference in the way
the events is reported. Now, find a report of the event in
a newspaper in a third, distant country. (For example,
compare reports from the Jerusalem Post, the Palestina
Chronicle, and the New York Times). Does the third
