Activities of teaching and learning:
Considering the results of the Programme, the features of a separate study subject (module) and different forms of organisation of study activities (lectures, seminars, consultations, independent work, practical classes, team work, study practice), the following teaching and study methods are used:
• teaching/learning methods applied during lectures, seminars and consultations attributed to the traditional concept of studies: presentation, explanation, illustration and interpretation of theoretical material; presentation, analysis, interpretation, discussion of practices; showing, watching, listening and interpretation of video and audio recordings;
• teaching/learning methods applied through interactive lectures, seminars, practical classes, independent and team work, focused on an active way of studying: discussions; debates; brainstorming; work in groups; case studies; problematic discussions in groups; independent analysis of study material; independent performance of an individual task (oral presentations, written works, creative projects, etc.); performing a team task; presentation of individual and/or team assignments in oral or written form; public presentations, evaluations and discussions of independent and/or team work;
teaching/learning methods applied when using virtual environment during traditional, distance or blended studies: video and audio conferencing; video and audio lectures; subject (module) distance teaching/learning courses.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Written and oral survey, testing, written works, compiling a bibliography, review of literature and other sources of information, essay writing, oral presentations, presentations, practices, project activities (individual and in groups), project and individual work reports, case study, research work, assessment of learning achievement portfolio, self-assessment, collegial assessment, public discussions, computer testing and the like.
The system of assessment of students’ study results is based on the following principles:
• validity and reliability; assessment is linked to the objectives of the study programme and is carried out in several aspects;
• assessment of skills, knowledge and consistency of studies;
• impartiality, objectivity and clarity;
• the principle of openness and collegiality of assessment;
• the principle of cumulative score;
the principle of feedback; when the lecturer works individually with the student, the assessment of the student’s achievements as well as recommendations for further creative pursuits and solutions are presented, and discussions are held.
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
Subjects of the study field, optional subjects, master’s thesis.
Specialisations:
Ethnomusicology
Musicology
Theatre and Film Studies
Distinctive features of a study programme:
Lithuanian higher education institutions, which, by combining the previously separate studies of ethnomusicology, musicology, theatre and film studies and ensuring a close connection between theory and practice, opens wider opportunities for students to carry out professional, creative or academic activities or to study further.
Students combine the practical experience gained during the study period with art research.
Access to professional activity:
Graduates are able to work in the fields of science, culture, art, education, business, media, culture and art policy, cultural and creative industries as well as in some other fields in the public, non-governmental or private sector, form creative groups, implement artistic, educational and other cultural projects and engage in scientific, artistic or applied activities. Graduates also are able to work as lecturers in higher education institutions, conduct independent research in the fields of science and art.
Access to further study:
After successfully completing the studies of Art Theory and obtaining the qualification degree of Master of Humanities, graduates can continue their education in doctoral studies.
