Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, students:
- know the stages of the research process, the methods and techniques of quantitative and qualitative research, the principles of processing and analysis of called data
- correctly plan a social survey on a topic of own choice
- skillfully choose research methods and techniques
- can prepare a research tool
- have experience in conducting qualitative research
- can draw up a research report
Classes will serve to implement the following learning outcomes defined in the curriculum:
the student knows and understands:
- in practice, tools to obtain data on social ties, norms and rules produced in the context of work and the institutions, structures and organizations created by them.
the student can:
- use for practical purposes knowledge from the field of labour sciences to analyse and interpret social processes and phenomena occurring in the field of labour and labour market;
- create written studies of research, analyses and forecasts relating to knowledge related to the occupational sciences.
social skills - the student is ready to:
- critical evaluation of existing knowledge and consideration of expert opinions in setting priorities for specific tasks.
Assessment criteria
The exam consists of 2 elements:
1) points earned for carrying out individual research tasks,
2) evaluation of the report of research carried out in research teams.
The condition for taking the exam is:
- attendance at classes and preparation for classes (knowledge of the literature of the classes, preparation of homework, if given). More than 2 absences require counting on duty within two weeks of the absence. Unpreparedness for classes stated by the teacher is tantamount to absence. In case of unjustified absence for more than 4 classes, the student is unclassified from the course. Failure to count during the third or fourth absence also results in non-classification.
- timely submission and presentation of research papers (especially the research report, but also all previous tasks).
Team work within research groups and its results are evaluated. The compliance of the report and presentation with the principles of the research methodology will be assessed.
Non-classification results in the repetition of the subject in the next academic year.
