Key questions for guidance:
(Please answer the questions directly or address them in your own words, where applicable.)
- What opportunities did the course offer to experience the entire research process (contributing ideas, developing your own research question, trying out new methods, and presenting your research findings)?
(max. 1,000 characters including spaces)
- What forms of constructive support were provided during the research process (for instance feedback, problem-solving assistance, methodology workshops)?
(max. 1,000 characters including spaces)
- In what way did the course encourage critical analysis of research methods and findings?
(max. 1,000 characters including spaces)
What are some characteristics of research-based learning and learning through research?
- Research and various research activities are integrated with the coursework.
- Students get acquainted with various phases, formats and methods of academic research and have the chance to go through the entire research process.
- The goal is to independently acquire knowledge that is new for students and ideally can be transferred to others.
- The learning process designed in this way is characterized by students’ independence in conducting research.
- As part of such process, students learn independently and through self-directed study.
- Possible practical scenario: students work mostly independently – with minimal assistance by the instructor – on their own project, which goes through most (but preferably all) phases of the research cycle.
- Students are encouraged to take a critical look at and discuss their research methodology, findings, ethics and/or academic theories.
