Abstract

The competence of reconceptualizing empirical data tends to be neglected in the qualitative research learning system in Sociology Study Programs in Indonesia, especially at the undergraduate level. The author argues that there are several academic tools that have been pioneered by experts and can be developed into a toolbox for the competence of reconceptualizing empirical data. However, because the competency of reconceptualizing empirical data is a high-level reasoning skill, the target competency of reconceptualizing empirical data is framed so that it can formulate empirical novelty, not theoretical novelty. With the framework of formulating empirical novelty, the competence of reconceptualizing empirical data requires undergraduate researchers to be able to thematization and write down their field findings at a more abstract-conceptual level. For this, sociology students should be skilled at the coding, using the tashawur approach, and using more theoretical concepts to develop concepts at a more intermediate and grounded level—while being framed by public issues and current literature as much as the undergraduate student can.
