Study components considered by the program are carried out using following teaching and learning methods:

Lecture – Lectures involve discussion of major theoretical material, concepts, terms, etc. through ensuring students’ active involvement. It is basically oriented on thorough teaching scientific theories and approaches of study material. During lectures subject related issues are deeply explained, students are actively involved in the discussions and clear perception and comprehension of topics using brain-storming and other interactive methods.

Group work – Group work develops the knowledge and skills of planning and fulfillment of specific tasks under cooperative environment. Group work includes discussion of case studies, quizzes, practical assignments, different examples, through which students obtain skills of problem resolution in teams that in turn ensures development of team working skills and the possession of competencies of considering and accepting others opinion.

Practice / lab work – In order to ensure deep understanding and perception of the issues, practice/lab work concentrates on accurate discussion of relevant examples, cases, video materials, exercises and the ways of their resolution, which ensures the formation of students’ ability to use the obtained theoretical knowledge in practice and develop analytic and creative thinking.

Seminar – The aim of seminars is to create the context for students which enables them to get the details, and better understand and realize the issues and topics discussed during lectures. Seminar is the means of knowledge transfer, involves discussion and drawing conclusions, and it is coordinated by a lecturer with certain specific objectives. Seminars are conducted in accordance to specific aims and are in line with the material covered throughout lecturers.



EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

Independent work – Through independent work students deepen and internalize the knowledge obtained throughout the lecturers. Independent work involves searching for the materials through course-books or other sources of information, realizing and learning the obtained information; it also involves completing home-tasks. All these activities deepen the interest in certain issues, the wish to study these issues independently, they help students develop the ability of thinking independently, analyze the obtained information and draw conclusions.

The teaching and learning methods mentioned above are fulfilled using following activities:

Presentation (by lecturer) – The method consists of narration and speaking through which the information is provided by a teacher to a learner. Through this process teacher transfers knowledge verbally, explains the material and students obtain this knowledge through listening, memorizing and comprehension. It is important to make sure that understanding occurs and information is perceived correctly. In case of necessity additional instruction should be provided . A teacher is giving specific examples and provides detailed explanation.

Demonstration - It demonstrates information visually. It’s sufficiently effective when reaching the result because it takes into consideration the interests of different students. Learning material can be demonstrated by lecturer or student. This method helps different steps of learning process to be seen visually and concretize, what should student do independently. At the same time, this strategy visually demonstrates the main point of the subject/problem.

Induction – modern, one of the most effective student-oriented methods. Major objective of this method is to collect much data and by generalizing the observed perspectives discover general principles through which it is possible to discuss the facts, cases and events and explain them. Learning is oriented at relying on facts and developing rules through generalizing these facts, thus, moving from specific facts to general rules.

Deduction – a traditional method of teaching and learning which sees a teacher as a major source of information and students learn general theories through a teacher’s supervision. Deductive method of learning determines that kind of any subject knowledge, which presents the process when depending on general knowledge we discover new knowledge, so the process goes from general to concrete.

Analysis – In the modern world majority of disciplines have become complex; accordingly, courses in these fields require complex approaches. The method of analysis helps us to dismantle multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary courses into parts which allows dividing an issue under the study into separate aspects. This helps to discuss separate issues in details.

Synthesis - Method of synthesis means back-procedure, using some parts and making the whole with them. This method helps to see the whole problem.

Case Study – active problem-situation analysis method, which presupposes discussing real cases and discussing them which allows students to look at the issues from different perspectives, analyze possible solutions of the problem and choose and justify specific strategies, objectives and expected outcomes. A case presents a context and it



EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

is an instrument by itself which allows a student to use specific knowledge obtained through the course and put it into practice in the context which is close to real-life situation.

Brain Storming - collecting as many/various ideas about the topic/issue as possible. The method enhances development of creative approach towards the problem. It supports the development of creative approaches when students try to see an issue from different perspectives. This approach ensures that every person is involved in the learning process. It is efficient for a large group and is used in stages.

Discussion / Debates – one of the most broadly spread interactive methods; discussion raises the level of student involvement; while discussion different opinions are confronted and the discussion is not limited to the questions asked by a teacher. Overall aim is to synthesise different views. This method develops students’ ability of reflection and argumentation.

Simulation, Role Plays and Situational Games – belong to game-type of methods which consist of simulation (role-play) games, didactic or educational games, situational games, game-like approaches and procedures. Games developed through pre-developed scenarios enable students to look at important issues from different perspectives. They help students to form alternative viewpoints. Like discussion, these games develop students’ ability to express their own opinion independently and defend their attitudes in a dispute.

Project – This approach is a unity of perceptive methods, which makes it possible to solve a problem through students’ independent work and presenting the achieved solutions. This approach raises students’ motivation and responsibility; working on the project involves planning, research, practical activities and presenting the results ; the projects are complete if the outcomes are presented in a convincable manner through examplifying specific results; a project could be done individually, in peer or group work; upon completion the project is presented to a broader audience.

Presentation (by student/students) – Taking into consideration the development of technology presentation is one of the most interactive and effective ways of teaching . It is a combination of teaching and learning methods which allows a student to solve a problem through independent work and presenting the outcomes. This method raises students’ motivation to work independently; it also develops specific skills – planning, researching, and presenting data in an effective manner; it develops skills to work in groups or individually.

Teaching though Electronic Sources – The method implies teaching through internet and the means of multimedia. It consists of all the components of teaching process that are realized through specific means of internet and multimedia.

Task Solving – Gradual mastering of theoretical material through solution of specific tasks that ensures development of skills of using theoretical knowledge independently. While solving the tasks the lecturer pays attention to the methods of task solution and to the relevant use of the various schemes or chart drawing techniques or to the techniques of task solution;



EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

Problem Solving – The method of teaching that enables employment of newly obtained knowledge by students through study, analysis and solution of specific problem. While employing this method it is important to assess and analyze the results received through the solution of a specific problem. By using this method the skills and the ability of a student to use obtained knowledge in practice is developed.

Group Work – Teaching method through which students are divided into the groups and the assignments are given to each of the groups. Group members process the information individually and share their ideas to other group members at the same time. Group members may be assigned different functions depending on the objective defined by the task. This method ensures active involvement of each student in the process of teaching.

Individual Work – The method when a student individually performs the tasks and the assignments determined through the academic process.

Working with a Course-Book – Actively used method in a process of learning through which a student process given material by using given literature and other sources.

Problem-based Learning – a method which uses a specific problem from the field in order to help a learner to acquire new knowledge and integrate it with specific skills.

Preparing a Presentation – Students’ independent work through which a specific issue or topic is studied and the skills like planning, research, processing and analyzing data as well as presenting the results of study and arguments in a persuasive manner is developed. The method develops students’ individual working skills.

Preparing a Project - Students’ independent work through which projects are prepared. Working on the project involves planning, research, practical activities and presenting the results. The projects are complete if the outcomes are presented in a convincable manner through examplifying specific results.

Doing Homework – Independent work when students do the home assignments determined through the academic process. Doing home assignments implies reading, processing and studying material determined through the study course as well as doing given assignments in written form or presenting them orally.

Learning though Electronic Sources – The method implies learning through internet and the means of multimedia. It consists of all the components of learning process that are realized through specific means of internet and multimedia.

Student Knowledge Evaluation System: The goal of evaluation is to determine student’s education results qualitatively in relation to academic program goals and parameters.

Student may be assessed orally and/or in a written way. A student’s knowledge and skills are assessed through 100 points grading system. It consists of midterm and final evaluations – maximum 60 points in midterm evaluations and maximum 40 points in final evaluation.

Grading system allows:

a) Five types of positive grades

1) (A) Excellent – 91 and over of maximum point;



EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

2) (B) Very good – 81-90 of maximum point;

3) (C) Good – 71-80 of maximum point;

4) (D) Satisfactory – 61-70 of maximum point;

5) (E) Acceptable – 51-60 of maximum point.

b) Two types of negative grades

1) (FX) Fail – 41-50 of maximum point, meaning that a student requires some more work before passing and is given a chance to sit an additional examination after independent work;

2) (F) Fail – 40 and less of maximum point, meaning that the work of a student is not acceptable and he/she has to study the subject anew.

For final evaluation a student is admitted to the exam if his/her midterm evaluation is minimum 25 points out of 60 points.

A student is allowed to take additional (make-up) exam in case he/she scored 41-50 points of final grade or minimum 51 points, but did not score at least 20 points out of 40 points of final evaluation.



EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

Credits can be obtained if a student scored:

a) Minimum 20 points out of 40 points of final evaluation;

b) Minimum 51 points out of 100 points of final grade.

Considering its specification, the format and the assessment criteria of mid-term and final evaluations can be determined in the specific module/course syllabus.
