Relation between the methods used and achievement of the results

 

Introduction to the basic research tools within doctoral programme is provided in the first semester through specific core course (Basic Tools for PhD Research). It enables a student to get acquainted with the organisational tools of the PhD-research, specificities of working with primary sources and incorporation of secondary sources. The main method employed is “learning by doing”, as a student is requested to submit components referred to own doctoral thesis.
 
From the next semester student has a choice between deferent scenarios of own profile composition: to accomplish core teaching components (Teaching Methods I or I Seminar) or to start with professor guided research.
 
Different from Seminar, being a teaching component and thus not related with the doctoral thesis, the colloquium is the doctoral thesis related component and widely represents the part of the dissertation.
 
In its turn professor guided research differs from the colloquium with large scale of guidance available, contrary to the primarily independent work based colloquium. Reasonable mixture of professor guided research and independently conducted colloquium (15 credit component each) supports the development of those skills which are conditioned by independent or interactive work respectively.
 
Teaching Methods II and II Seminar are electives, enabling a student to further shape his/her own profile. For example, when a student demonstrates specific interest in teaching rather than in expending additional research skills, he/she decides for taking Teaching Methods II and in opposite case for II Seminar.
