Activities of teaching and learning:
The choice of study methods ensures the possibilities of achieving the results of the study program. In the study process, taking into account the specifics of the program and the subject, the following study methods are applied: traditional (contact, distance) and interactive lecture, practical classes, information search task, discussion, case study, problem solving session, cooperative teaching (learning), ideas (thoughts) ) and concept mapping, activity reflection, individual and group work (project), application of special software packages, consultations, analysis of literature sources, etc. The study methods are aimed at a deeper understanding of the content, more complex tasks, which encourage students to independently, critically and responsibly present their insights, integrate knowledge of various fields, competences necessary for leaders of educational institutions.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Compatibility of assessment methods. The assessment methods correspond to the nature of different subjects and allow a comprehensive assessment of the extent to which the student has achieved the intended study results and the competences and sub-competencies to be achieved. The assessment system includes assessment methods that allow monitoring the student's achievements in terms of the results of the subject being studied, as well as assessing knowledge and abilities. Achievement assessment methods are linked to the content of the subject and the study methods applied in it. In these studies, starting from the first semester, all expected competences, sub-competencies and abilities to conduct research are cultivated and developed. Analyzing the study methods that are used to achieve the intended results, it can be seen that alongside the usual (more often interactive lectures, seminars, exercises, work groups) analysis of scientific literature, documents and other sources is also used; case study; concept mapping; discussions, group projects, work in groups, information search and systematization in databases. There is increased value in research-based individual or group work that demonstrates problem-solving, situational modelling skills, etc. In order to ensure the active work of students throughout the study semester, the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practice, and the objective assessment of study results, the Educational Management study program uses cumulative assessment. In the application of cumulative assessment, the study results are assessed by means of interim reports (exercise reports, individual or group work, etc.), and the final grade sums up the grades of the intermediate reports and exams.
