Job description: The student searches scientific databases (such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, or EBSCO), selects scientific publications on a selected topic of sports pedagogy, organizes literature sources using a bibliography management tool (such as EndNote), and produces a brief analysis of the sources found. Fulfilment conditions: The work must be designed individually. You must select at least 5 scientific sources, create a correctly designed bibliography list in the bibliography management tool, and submit a brief overview of the literature analysis. Evaluation parameters and criteria: assess information search skills in scientific databases by determining whether scientific sources relevant to the topic are selected. Evaluates the use of the bibliography management tool by determining whether the literature sources are organized and presented according to the requirements. Evaluate the literature analysis by determining whether conclusions have been correctly drawn and professional terminology has been used. |
