Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance, Seminar Work

Active and 100% participation in seminars, any absence documented by an adequate confirmation. Students with an individual study plan are required to attend the first seminar, where they will then be informed of the requirements for successfully completing the course. Students present the formulation of research questions, problems and goals from pedagogical research. Students will work on this issue using cooperative and collaborative learning methods. Subsequently, they process and interpret the research results according to different designs. At the colloquium, they present a partial part of their research. They obtain data using the interview method, then make a transcript and look for answers to research questions. They process the task in writing and will submit on Moodle Only students who meet all requirements during the semester participate in the colloquium. Completion of the course will only be recorded for students who meet all requirements during the semester, at the colloquium, and after the colloquium (including flawlessly completed written work). Students with specific educational needs will have course completion requirements adapted to their type of disability. The modification of the requirements may include an extension of time for written tests and papers, alteration of the point assessment in written papers, or changes to the classroom environment and necessary study aids.
