本課程為博士班之研究方法論專題課程，旨在培養博士生獨立研究、跨領域整合與國際學術發展之核心能力，並以運動休閒、健康促進與教育等相關領域作為主要應用範疇，探討當代研究方法之理論基礎與實務應用。課程內容涵蓋研究問題之形成、理論架構之建構、文獻之批判分析、研究設計與多元研究方法（質性、量化、混合研究）、研究倫理與開放科學實踐、學術著作與國際期刊投稿策略，以及人工智慧（AI）工具於研究歷程中之應用等重要議題。透過國際重要文獻研讀、專題討論、工作坊、同儕回饋與研究發表等多元教學活動，引導學生建立批判思維、學術對話能力與研究創新能力，並整合為個人化之研究主軸與研究歷程檔案（Research Portfolio），為未來博士論文提案、研究計畫申請及國際學術成果發表奠定堅實基礎，培養具國際視野與競爭力之獨立研究者與學術領導人才。
This doctoral seminar cultivates core competencies in independent research, interdisciplinary integration, and international academic development, using sport, leisure, health promotion, and education as the primary application domains. The course examines the theoretical foundations and practical applications of contemporary research methodology — including the formulation of research questions, construction of theoretical frameworks, critical literature analysis, qualitative/quantitative/mixed-methods research design, research ethics and open-science practices, academic writing and international journal publication strategies, and the integration of AI tools throughout the research process. Through engagement with landmark international literature, seminar discussions, workshops, peer feedback, and research presentations, students will build critical thinking, scholarly dialogue, and research innovation capacities, culminating in a personalized research trajectory and research portfolio — laying a solid foundation for dissertation proposal development, grant applications, and international publication, and cultivating competitive, independent researchers and academic leaders with a global perspective.
