Field Sociology between Reality and Aspiration a Critical Study of Undergraduate Graduation Research in the Sociology Major

Abstract

The study in the field of sociology is based on theories derived from research across its various fields, reflecting the status of sociology among the sciences. What is observed in many sociological studies in Algeria in particular, and in the Arab world in general, is that existing studies are merely processes of measurement or attempts to verify Western theories, so to speak, which renders the science of production a sterile science that does not produce. This results from the incorrect practices upon which sociological research is based. Therefore, through this research paper, we seek to provide a realistic picture of field sociological research, especially within the framework of universities, and the methodology followed in studying societal problems across various sociological fields. Through this, we aim to change the prevailing research pattern, especially in the research of master’s and doctoral students.
