4. - Structure and content of the study programme
a) - The institution describes the rules for the design of study plans within the study programme.

The study programme of Chemistry Teaching chemistry in Combination is an organic part of the study Teaching and Pedagogical Sciences. The study is intended to provide basic professional education in the field of pedagogical theory and practice and selected disciplines of chemistry. The subjects of the study program are designed to proportionally cover topics of social science, pedagogical and psychological basis of teaching and subject approvals.

The student of the study program within fulfilling the requirements of the study program or after completing it completely and obtaining the required minimum number of credits creates his/her own study plan, for which in addition to the compulsory subjects chooses also compulsory-optional and optional subjects according to the required professional needs and interests. The profile subjects are defined in the study plan, which are a necessary condition for a successful completion of the study. The content of the study program with regard to the education of chemical disciplines consists of a theoretical and practical part, which are carried out in relevant forms of education (lectures and/or seminars and/or exercises). The specific way of teaching subjects - forms, methods, graduation criteria, educational outcomes, as well as content is detailed in the subject information sheets of the submitted study program.


b) - The institution compiles the recommended study plans for individual study paths.

The study plan is available on the JSU website (https://www.ujs.sk/sk/studium/studijnne-programy/pedagogicka-fakulta.html#magistersk%C3%BD-denn%C3%A1-forma).

After the harmonization of the combined SP teaching chemistry (2nd grade) including adjustments, any newly admitted students will commence the harmonized SP at the beginning of the next academic year and will conduct studies according to the subjects and rules after adjustments, while students of the second year continue studying the harmonized SP according to the original recommended study plan and subjects for which they were accepted.


c) - The study plan generally states:

The student completes compulsory subjects (Introduction to didactics of chemistry, Selected chapters of atomic structure and chemical bond theories, Didactics of Chemistry I-II., Selected chapters of coordination chemistry and organometallic chemistry, The basics of nuclear chemistry, Pedagogical Practice VI.), chooses subjects from among mandatory optional subjects (IKT in chemistry teaching, Chemical Didactical Software, Methodology of chemical tasks, Development of pupils´ learning process in chemistry education, Active Learning and Evaluation Methods in Teaching Chemistry, Modern trends in chemistry education) ) and elective subjects from the offer of study programs PF JSU. The student completes state subjects, in which (s)he demonstrates his/her knowledge and skills from individual chemical disciplines completed during his master studies, and from the defending the final thesis, during which (s)he demonstrates basic competence in solving scientific-professional, or pedagogical research.


Profile subjects are: Introduction to didactics of chemistry, Selected chapters of atomic structure and chemical bond theories, Didactics of Chemistry I-II., Selected chapters of coordination chemistry and organometallic chemistry, The basics of nuclear chemistry, Pedagogical Practice  IV., Pedagogical Practice V., Pedagogical Practice VI., State examination from Chemistry, Master's Thesis and Defense.


The course information sheets clearly describe the requirements for completing them, as well as the educational outcomes (detailed knowledge, skills, and competence outcomes) that the graduate will acquire after completing the educational part/subject.


Continuity of individual profile subjects is given by the logical arrangement of profile subjects in individual semesters of the study plan. Special Didactics of Chemistry I. and II. follow the profile course Introduction to Didactics of Chemistry. Prerequisites for state exam subjects are profile subjects and completion of compulsory educational parts/subjects of the study program.

 

Educational activities are clearly declared in the information sheets of subjects, by which the PF JSU ensures the achievement of expected educational outcomes. Subjects are implemented in relevant forms of education (lectures and/or seminars and/or exercises) according to the nature of the subject. The current epidemiological situation required the conduction of theoretical teaching (lectures and seminars) also in distant form that may be applicable for similar situations in the future again.


Listed in the subject information sheets. In the case of lectures and seminars: face-to-face, or distant. For courses where the lecture or seminar is accompanied by an exercise: combined. 


Brief outlines are to be found in the information sheets of all educational parts/subjects.


During the preparation of the educational parts/subjects of the presented study program, the workload of students was taken in account in accordance with ECTS, depending on the assigned credits and the time frame in which the education will take place.

According to Rector's Order no. 16/2021, which issued methodological instructions for the creation, coordination and adjustment of study programs at J. Selye University, for 1 semester of full-time study according to the recommended study plan, the student receives 30 credits. The workload of the students is planned so that one credit awarded for completing the subject corresponds to 25 to 30 hours of student work. This represents a typical student workload, but the actual time required to achieve learning outcomes and goals may vary from student to student.


For educational parts/subjects having higher credits and where the requirements of face-to-face teaching were disagreeing with the student's workload, the declared learning tasks, assignments, outputs are solved by the student through controlled self-study under the guidance of the teacher, and subsequent demonstration of knowledge or skills that were predetermined in the assignments.

10. - Feedback on the quality of provided education
a) - Procedures for monitoring and evaluating students' opinions on the study programme quality.

The J. Selye University strives to involve students actively in the evaluation and improvement of study programs and the teaching process. At the Faculty of Education at JSU, evaluation of the quality of teaching is carried out every year, namely the evaluation of the subject and the evaluation of the teacher's approach to the educational process. The evaluation takes place at the end of each semester via the academic information system in the form of a questionnaire, anonymously, whose evaluation is voluntary on the part of the students. As part of this evaluation, students have the opportunity to evaluate the given subject, comment on its relevance, usefulness in connection with a specific study program, and its applicability in practice. The teacher's approach, preparedness, overall appearance, openness to students' questions, effort to help, correctness, comprehensibility of interpretation, consistency and objectivity in evaluating student performance are also evaluated. The evaluation is carried out according to the following point scale: very good (1), good (2), average (3), below average (4), bad (5) and also by verbal expression of the students' opinion.

The results of the evaluation of student feedback are the subject of discussion at individual departments and faculties. The results are also part of the annual reports that are presented to scientific councils and academic senates, which include students themselves too. Results of the evaluation are processed into annual reports on the quality of education at PF JSU and become published on the JSU website. (https://www.ujs.sk/sk/univerzita/vyrocne-spravy.html)
