SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: In this course, it is aimed that the students form a hypothesis by using the theory and theoretical knowledge they have learned during their undergraduate education, test the hypothesis they have formed in accordance with the research methods, and thus develop the necessary knowledge and skills for admission and preparation for graduate programs by carrying out the stages of planning, implementation, evaluation and reporting.
Course Content: In this course, the scientific research process is repeated and the students are expected to work in groups and to design and carry out their own scientific studies with the support of their advisors.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) Defines a research process completely.
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Develops a research model.
  2) Interpret the findings of the study
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
  1) Effectively search the literature.
  2) Reports the work and present it effectively.
  3) Plays an active role in the group.
