摘要：The current research employs the use of content analysis to teach research methods concepts among students enrolled in an upperdivision research methods course.Students coded and analyzed Jimmy Buffett song lyrics rather than using a downloadable database or collecting survey data. Students'knowledge of content analysis concepts increased after a lecture on the topicof content analysis, but they further improved after participating in the song coding, data cleaning, and writing of results. Additionally, studentsreported high satisfaction w ith the project andbelieved it was an interesting and enjoyable techniqueforlearning about research methods. We provide suggestions for incorporating similar data collection activities in undergraduate research methods courses
