6. Education technologies

The interactive forms of teaching are used in the course: group discussion, braistorming, case

analysis (life stories, book or video materials). Practical classes will take place on-site in the

selected environments. 3-D visualization technologies will be extensively used to reconstruct

environmental features.

7. Forms of evaluation for the current assessment and attestation1

Form of the assessment Criteria

Colloquium

We expect that all students read recommended

literature prior to the seminar and/or practical

class and are ready to give a talk on the topic

of the seminar. The groups of presenters (3-4

people) and discussants (3-4 people) will be

chosen randomly at the seminar and must give

a presentation on the topic (10-20 minutes).

Discussants have to prepare questions and

critique on the topic for the presenters (10-20

minutes). Each group will have 30 minutes

for preparation. The presentation is followed

by the discussion and question session. Each

student will be chosen as a presenter and

discussant at least twice a module. Colloquia

will be graded on a 10-point scale and

contribute 20% to the final grade.

1) Depth and thoroughness of literature

overview and analysis

2) Clear structure of report (critical parts of

presentation: research problem, method,

substantial results and conclusion)

3) Consistency and logical structure of the

presentation

4) Consistency and clarity of the

critique/questions

5) Quality of answers to the

questions/critique (comprehensive and

detailed answers)

Course written assignment

Home assignment is a trial design proposal of

1 Developed on the basis of the syllabus “Theory and Methodology of Modern Psychology: Advanced Social

Psychology” (authors Tatarko Alexander, Poluektova Olga, Maria Efremova)

an applied study of the human-environment

interaction. The scope of the study would be

to inform certain design solutions:

1) Part 1 (1st module). Bibliography

overview

It is the first part of your proposal. You should

clearly state the problem and its significance,

the goal of the project, and provide a brief, yet

comprehensive, theoretical overview of

academic social psychological literature

(3000 – 5000 words).

2) Part 2 (2nd module). Design of the

intervention

Based on the literature overview, the students

propose the design of the intervention. The

design should contain the description of the

target audience, a detailed plan of activities,

and the description of the expected results.

The projects should be uploaded to LMS in

written and presented on the last class of

research seminar.

The project will contribute 30% to the final

grade for the course.

1) Student wrote the overview in full;

2) Content of the overview corresponds to

selected topic;

3) Results of the most recent research in the

selected area are used in the overview;

4) Student’s own analysis of material is

presented in the the project overview.

1) Goal and objectives of project are clear;

2) Project has a clear socio-psychological

orientation;

3) Project is based on knowledge of

environmental psychology;

4) Presentation contains all necessary

descriptive elements of project;

5) Project has a clear and precise practical

result.

The final exam.

The final exam is held in the form of a test.

Students are given 20 single choice questions.

Each question contains four answer options.

10-point scale will be used in assessment of

the test results.

The project will contribute 30% to the final

grade.

Final grade is proportional to the number of

correct answers to test questions.

1-2 correct answers – 1 point

3-4 correct answers – 2 points









8. Forms of knowledge assessment and grading procedures

Knowledge should be assessed in 10-point scale. The final grade will consist of colloquia, written

assignment, and exam. It will be calculated using the following formula:

Final grade = 0.2*Colloquium average + 0.4*Written assignment + 0.4*Final exam
