Description: The discipline includes: philosophical aspects, methodological foundations of scientific cognition, study of the structure and main stages of research work. This course studies the methods of theoretical research, issues of modelling in scientific research and helps to choose the right direction of scientific research. During the study of the course master students should learn to search, accumulate and process scientific information, as well as to conduct, process and design the results of experimental research.

Goal

the formation of students' skills in organizing and planning scientific work, the acquisition by students of experience in conducting scientific experiments and processing the results of scientific and practical research.

Objective

- the ability to set, plan and conduct research of a theoretical and applied nature in the objects of the sphere of professional activity; - the ability to prepare scientific and technical reports, reviews and publications based on the results of research; - the ability to develop new methods of experimental research; - the ability to fix and protect intellectual property; - the ability to analyze and generalize the results of the research.

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

- Goals and objectives of scientific research: - General scientific methods and their application in scientific research; - Methods of collecting and processing scientific data; - The role of technical sciences and engineering research in modern science.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

– analyze literary data, – formulate research goals and objectives; – apply methods of ranking, abstraction and formalization in the analysis of literary and experimental scientific data; – work with measuring instruments and experimental data obtained; – perform SWOT analysis of scientific data and technological solutions; – to assess risks and ways to prevent them when planning scientific research; – work with scientific databases.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

- can make non-standard decisions; - owns modern computer technologies used in processing the results of scientific experiments and collecting, processing, storing and transmitting information during independent scientific research; - understands the principles of operation and is able to work on modern scientific equipment when conducting scientific research; - has an idea of the most relevant areas of research; - is able to analyze scientific literature in order to choose the direction of research on the proposed topic; - is able to analyze the results obtained, draw the necessary conclusions and formulate proposals; - is able to present the results obtained in research in the form of reports.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

- be able to correctly explain and formalize research results; - be able to successfully develop new directions; - solve practical tasks independently; - to learn deeply the theoretical foundations of modern research methods.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

Students should acquire practical skills in using various research methods; - master the basic skills of experimental techniques.

Teaching methods

When mastering the discipline, the following combinations of types of educational work with methods and forms of activating the cognitive activity of undergraduates are used to achieve the planned learning outcomes and the formation of competencies: discussion, teamwork, individual training.

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.

Period	Type of task	Total
1 rating	Individual task 1.	0-100
	Individual task 1.
	Test control
	Oral interview
2 rating	Individual task 1.	0-100
	Individual task 1.
	Test control
	Colloquium
Total control	Exam	0-100

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Type of task	90-100	70-89	50-69	0-49
Type of task	Excellent	Good	Satisfactory	Unsatisfactory
Individual tasks	logical content is presented; the relevance of the topic under consideration is reflected, the main categories are correctly defined; detailed, independent conclusions are formulated in the conclusion	logical content is presented; the relevance of the topic under consideration is reflected, the main categories are correctly defined; detailed, independent conclusions are formulated in the conclusion	logical content is presented; the relevance of the topic under consideration is reflected, the main categories are correctly defined; detailed, independent conclusions are formulated in the conclusion	logical content is presented; the relevance of the topic under consideration is reflected, the main categories are correctly defined; detailed, independent conclusions are formulated in the conclusion
Oral answers to control questions	demonstration of deep and complete knowledge and understanding of the entire volume of the studied material; complete understanding of the essence of the concepts, phenomena and patterns, theories, and relationships under consideration; the ability to formulate a complete and correct answer based on the studied material; highlight the main points, independently support the answer with specific examples and facts; independently make a reasoned analysis and generalize conclusions	knowledge of all the studied program material; a complete and correct answer based on the theories studied; minor errors and shortcomings in reproducing the studied material, definitions of concepts, inaccuracies in the use of scientific terms or in conclusions and generalizations; the material is presented in a certain logical sequence, but one minor error or no more than two shortcomings are allowed, and the student can correct them independently upon request or with a little help from the teacher; has basically mastered the educational material; confirms the answer with specific examples	the answer contains significant deviations from the topic; the analysis of the problem provided by the question is fragmentary and incomplete; facts are not always separated from opinions, but the student understands the difference between them	demonstration of deep and complete knowledge and understanding of the entire volume of the studied material; complete understanding of the essence of the concepts, phenomena and patterns, theories, and relationships under consideration; the ability to formulate a complete and correct answer based on the studied material; highlight the main points, independently support the answer with specific examples and facts; independently make a reasoned analysis and generalize conclusions

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	Excellent
B+	3.33	85-89	Good
B	3.0	80-84
B-	2.67	75-79
C+	2.33	70-74
C	2.0	65-69	Satisfactory
C-	1.67	60-64
D+	1.33	55-59
D	1.0	50-54
FX	0.5	25-49	Unsatisfactory
F	0	0-24	Unsatisfactory
