Goal
  • To acquaint doctoral students with the general methodology of scientific creativity, to give an idea of the organization and planning of scientific research, to give basic ideas about the general laws of the development of science.
Objective
  • To acquaint doctoral students with the main stages of the development of science, about scientific schools, their theoretical and practical developments.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
  • - on the structure of the organization of science and scientific and technical activities, on innovation activities.
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
  • - on intellectual property law, knowledge in the field of copyright and related law, on the patent legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
  • apply knowledge, understanding, and the ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar situations in contexts and within broader (or interdisciplinary) fields related to the field of automation and management.
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
  • readiness to change social, economic, professional roles, geographical and social mobility in the context of the dynamics of change, to continue training independently.
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
  • to carry out communications in the professional sphere and in society as a whole, including in a foreign language, to analyze existing and develop independently technical documentation, to clearly state and protect the results of complex engineering activities in the field of automation and control.
Teaching methods

When giving lectures on this discipline, such a non-imitative method of active learning as a "Problem lecture"is used. Before studying the module, a problem is identified, which will be addressed by all the subsequent material of the module. Multimedia presentations are used during the lecture. When performing practical work, the interactive learning method "Case-method" is used: a task is given to undergraduates to prepare for the work; the purpose of the work and the progress of its implementation are discussed with the teacher; the goal is analyzed from different points of view, hypotheses are put forward, conclusions are drawn, and the results obtained are analyzed. The following innovative control methods are used: intermediate and final testing

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.

The teacher conducts all types of current control work and evaluates the current progress of students twice in the academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formed based on the results of the current control. The student's educational achievements are evaluated on a 100-point scale, the final grade R1 and R2 is calculated as an arithmetic average of the current progress grade. In the academic period, the student's work is evaluated by the teacher according to the schedule of assignments for the subject. The control system can combine written and oral, group and individual forms. 95-100 75-79;70-74 55-59;50-54
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.
