However, there are inaccuracies and shortcomings in the definition of concepts. The student defines the background of the research and the choice of method. However, the reasoning is incomplete and methodological literature has been scarcely utilized. There is some justification for the background and methodology of the study. However, the arguments are general and the literature has been scarcely used. The student describes the purpose and aim of the study very generally and inaccurately. The student recognizes the stages of the research process, but their description is incomplete. The data has been analysed, but there are significant shortcomings in the analysis. The student names factors related to the trustworthiness of the research in a general and incomplete manner. The student assesses ethics in a meager and narrow manner. The conclusions are not clearly expressed. The student reports on the research process, but it is incomplete and illogical.

The assessment criteria for the assignment are: Pass: The task is logically structured and clear as a whole. The assignment demonstrates an understanding of the objectives of the learning task and a knowledge of the main stages of the research process, the key concepts. The use of concepts is logical. The task involves analysis and evaluation, justified by reference to the source literature. The material to be analysed is evaluated objectively and respectfully. The assignment will be factual, following the norms of orthography and Oamk's guidelines for reporting the thesis. References are properly cited in accordance with the guidelines for written work. The knowledge test is passed: 80% of the statements are correct. Fail: The task contains the basic elements of an analysis task, but requires some structuring. The task does not demonstrate knowledge of key concepts. There is a lack of understanding of the research process as a whole and a failure to identify the links between issues. Lack of self-reflection and evaluation based on the source literature. The material to be analysed is assessed respectfully, but there is a lack of justification. The task is factual but does not respect the norms of orthography. References are not properly cited. |
