- Lectures or informative/instructive introductory materials in the Moodle for the students’ self-studying: introduction to problems, themes, essentialities, ways towards the achievements etc.
- Compulsory literature, other sources – 1-2 for the course and several suggested additional sources – will make about 75% of the sources to be used, students’ optional sources in accordance with their specific individual needs – about 25% (the balance between compulsory and optional sources depend on their availability, theme, students’ needs etc.)
- Self-conducted theoretical and practical activities to develop the desired competences, structuring of knowledge, their integration and understanding, development of critical thinking and innovative practices.
- Criteria of the target competence development, tools for reflection and self-evaluation. Issues suggested or chosen by the students to be analysed, discussed, reviewed etc.
- Introduction to discussions, development of critical thinking, initiating evidence-based arguments to develop skills of participating and conducting a discussion and presenting findings of theoretical and empirical analysis.
- Hands-on sessions provide the students opportunities to apply general knowledge and understanding of the nature of research in education to the investigation of a particular research problem towards completing the master’s paper and creating an inquiry-based process of tertiary teaching-learning.
- Acquisition of each study course and a master‘s paper is reflected by 10 point grade system (10 - the highest; 4 – the lowest successful; 3-1 - unsuccessful);
- Submitted and defended a master’s paper (20 credit points equal to 30 - ECTS);
- Collected 80 credit points (120 ECTS) for the whole program (1 credit point = 40 hours).
- Students’ mobility is welcome in compliance with the profile of this program; acquired courses during the mobility can be recognized if negotiated with the director of this program prior to the mobility and completed successfully.
