Preliminary Knowledge
Bachelor's experience in research, introduction to the professional activity and the history of the professional activity.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.After completing the course, you will be able to: Use research terminology; explain the differences between qualitative and quantitative research strategies and different research designs; describe the research process.
Skills
1.Identify analysis, comparison and critical evaluation of published studies according to the scientific strength criteria of the study strategy and design.
2.Identify current research problems, formulate the subject issue, raise relevant research issues or hypotheses.
3.Choose a study strategy and study design appropriate to the subject issue.
4.Select appropriate methods of data acquisition and analysis, develop theoretical justification for the study, identify potential risks and threats of the study, use and critically evaluate the use of AI tools in research.
Competences
1.Elaborate their own potential draft study, substantiating the topicality and problem of the study, formulating the aim and the research issue/ hypothesis, forming purposeful bibliography by choosing appropriate methods of data acquisition and analysis and integrating the ethical requirements of scientific research in the draft; critically evaluate the possibilities and restrictions for the implementation of the draft study; present and defend the draft study.

The term test (grade) test questions are based on the source listed in the list of compulsory literature sources: Martinson, K., and Piper A. (Rev. Zinn) methodology for Scientific activity: Interdisciplinary perspective. Riga RSU, 2021. The test consists of 50 closed-type questions with four choice answers. There is only one correct answer for each question, which corresponds to the explanation of concepts given in the literature source above. During the test run, it shall be possible to move freely around the questions by returning and correcting the answers submitted. For each correct answer, one point is assigned, which is converted to a percentage in the system by calculating the assessment obtained from the test accordingly. The test passes if at least 55% of the correct answers are provided. Test time - 60 minutes |
