Goal
  • The purpose of mastering the discipline is to form students ' theoretical and practical knowledge about modern methods of materials research, to develop skills of applying the acquired knowledge when choosing research methods that are necessary and sufficient for diagnosing the structure and properties of products, as well as in the development of modern high-tech technologies.
Objective
  • 1) study of the opportunities, needs and achievements of students of various general and specialized educational institutions, secondary vocational education and design, based on the results obtained, plans for students to solve individual experimental problems in physics in order to study the subject in depth; 2) organization of the process of training and education in the field of education using technologies that correspond to the age characteristics of students and reflect the specifics of the subject area; 3) promote the implementation of the principle of dialectical unity of theory and practice in the study of physics; 4) using the existing opportunities of the educational environment and designing new conditions, including information ones, to ensure the quality of education on the basis of individual solutions to experimental problems; 5) implementation of professional self-education and personal growth with participation in experimental work.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
  • - the structure and main content of the course, as well as the relationship of the course parts to each other; - the theoretical principles underlying the methods of studying the structure and properties of materials, the advantages and limitations of the methods; - requirements for the objects of research, the technique of sampling and preparation of samples for analysis; - device and principle of operation of the devices; - the methodology of the analysis.
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
  • - comprehensively evaluate and select the necessary research methods, modify existing methods based on the objectives of a particular study; - collect, process and analyze data obtained in the course of experimental studies; - evaluate the reliability of the results obtained experimentally; - present the results of research work in the form of reports, reports at seminars, using computer presentations.
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
  • - obtaining organizational and managerial skills when working in research groups, critical rethinking of the accumulated experience, changing the profile of their professional activities, if necessary, responsibility for the consequences of their engineering activities; - conducting scientific theoretical and experimental research in the fields of materials science, atomic and nuclear physics, hydrogen energy, plasma physics with the help of a modern instrument base using specialized knowledge of physics and mastered specialized disciplines.
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
  • - work in a team of researchers performing interdisciplinary research; - participate in the processing of the results of scientific research at the current level.
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
  • - practical experience in performing independent research and teaching activities; - the skills of conducting bibliographic work with the use of modern information technologies, as well as to use the recommended literature and recommended sources for solving analytical problems in experimental research; - skills and experience of independent operation of modern laboratory and analytical equipment and devices designed for testing materials.
Teaching methods

When conducting training sessions, the following educational technologies are provided: - interactive lecture (using the following active forms of learning: guided discussion or conversation; moderation; demonstration of slides or educational films; brainstorming; motivational speech); - building scenarios for various situations based on the specified conditions; - information and communication technology (for example, classes in a computer class using professional software packages); - search and research (independent research activity of students in the learning process); - the solution of educational tasks.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

  • 40% of the examination result;
  • 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

FG = 0,6 MT1+MT2 +0,4E
2

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:

Alphabetical grade Numerical value Points (%) Traditional grade
A 4.0 95-100 Excellent
A- 3.67 90-94
B+ 3.33 85-89 Good
B 3.0 80-84
