Teaching Practice
Summary of the subject: consider the methodology and practical aspects of conducting scientific research in an open way, as well as the theoretical and applied sides of implementing the Open Science paradigm within the Ukrainian and international scientific environment. We will explore the features of Open Access publishing of research outputs, use of open and FAIR data, application of open licenses, and open peer review. On top of that, we will learn about perspectives of modern ICT in research and discuss the principles of business development based on open innovation.

Assessment methods and criteria: Knowledge assessment methods: rating assessment of the results of a selective oral survey; performance and defense of practical works and performances at practical classes; testing; activity in classes, submitted proposals and original decisions, clarifications and definitions; written survey, test control during the semester control.
Критерії оцінювання результатів навчання: Semester evaluation (SE) of students' knowledge is carried out according to the total number of points obtained by the results of the current control (CC) and the control measure (CM).
Порядок та критерії виставляння балів та оцінок: 100-88 points - certified with an “excellent” grade - High level: the student demonstrates an in-depth mastery of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the discipline, systematic knowledge, skills and abilities of their practical application. The mastered knowledge, skills and abilities provide the ability to independently formulate goals and organize learning activities, search and find solutions in non-standard, atypical educational and professional situations. The applicant demonstrates the ability to make generalizations based on critical analysis of factual material, ideas, theories and concepts, to formulate conclusions based on them. His/her activity is based on interest and motivation for self-development, continuous professional development, independent research activities, implemented with the support and guidance of the teacher. 87-71 points - certified with a grade of “good” - Sufficient level: involves mastery of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the discipline at an advanced level, conscious use of knowledge, skills and abilities to reveal the essence of the issue. Possession of a partially structured set of knowledge provides the ability to apply it in familiar educational and professional situations. Aware of the specifics of tasks and learning situations, the student demonstrates the ability to search for and choose their solution according to the given sample, to argue for the use of a particular method of solving the problem. Their activities are based on interest and motivation for self-development and continuous professional development. 70-50 points - certified with a grade of “satisfactory” - Satisfactory level: outlines the mastery of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the discipline at the average level, partial awareness of educational and professional tasks, problems and situations, knowledge of ways to solve typical problems and tasks. The applicant demonstrates an average level of skills and abilities to apply knowledge in practice, and solving problems requires assistance, support from a model. The basis of learning activities is situational and heuristic, dominated by motives of duty, unconscious use of opportunities for self-development. 49-00 points - certified with a grade of “unsatisfactory” - Unsatisfactory level: indicates an elementary mastery of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the discipline, a general understanding of the content of the educational material, partial use of knowledge, skills and abilities. The basis of learning activities is situational and pragmatic interest.
