Learning outcomes
|
The study discipline is focused on understanding the specifics of research activities in the context of the target group of people with intellectual disabilities (mental retardation), other mental illnesses/disorders (autism spectrum disorders, dementia) and other related disabilities. Attention is paid to building students' independence in the matter of finding appropriate, relevant literature (especially empirical articles, and studies), in the matter of understanding typical terminology in the topic and their differences, and in the matter of understanding basic research approaches, strategies and methods of conducting and designing research activities. Particular attention is paid to the (research, qualitative) case study, its distinction from the case report, and the design of a case study where people with intellectual disabilities or other mental illnesses/disorders are the cases of the study. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: - appropriate terminology in the thematic area of education and support for people with intellectual disabilities, and other mental-related disabilities (autism spectrum disorders, dementia) and adequate distinguishing between the terms. - relevant research papers, studies, and findings in intellectual and other related disabilities and their assessing. - the advantages and disadvantages of different research strategies, methods, and practices in research on people with intellectual and other related disabilities. - the differences between a case study and a case report. - the limitations of research work in the context of intellectual disability and mental illnesses/disorders. - the interpretations of published research and studies focusing on a target group of people with intellectual disabilities, mental illnesses/disorders, and related disabilities. - the ethical principles and rules for conducting research involving people with intellectual disabilities, other mental illness/disorders, and their close persons (family members, primary caregivers, teachers, etc.).
