Research methods of living human WB-BI-41-35cw

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the main research methods used in anthropology (somatometry, somatoscopy, head and body indices, classification of human biotypes, determination of developmental age, psychomotor tests, sports anthropology). The student acquires skills regarding the practical implementation of research methods and tools. The subject prepares the student to correctly define priorities during the implementation of a research task in human biology.

Subject effect 1. the student uses empirical foundations to understand the phenomena and processes in human biology, understands how to use mathematical and statistical methods and IT tools in human biology
Subject effect 2.the student understands how to plan research, use research tools, understand the importance of occupational health and safety

Exercises:
Subject Learning Outcomes for Skills:
Subject effect 3. the student is able to cooperate in a research team, as well as to manage a team as a leader

Subject learning outcomes in terms of social competences:
Objective effect 4. the student is ready to correctly define the priorities during the implementation of the research task in human biology

Assessment criteria

Assessment criteria in terms of knowledge:
to mark 2 (Ndst.) the student does not understand the importance of empirical foundations in understanding phenomena and processes in human biology; the student does not understand how to conduct research; does not understand the importance of occupational health and safety;
to grade 3 (dst.) basic student: uses empirical foundations to understand phenomena and processes in human biology, understands how to use mathematical and statistical methods and IT tools in human biology; understands how to plan research, use research tools, understand the importance of occupational health and safety;
to grade 4 (dst.): good student: uses empirical foundations to understand phenomena and processes in human biology, understands how to use mathematical and statistical methods and IT tools in human biology; understands how to plan research, use research tools, understand the importance of occupational health and safety;
to grade 5 (very good): student with a very good degree: uses empirical foundations to understand phenomena and processes in human biology, understands how to use mathematical and statistical methods and IT tools in human biology; understands how to plan research, use research tools, understand the importance of occupational health and safety;

Assessment criteria in terms of skills:
with a grade of 2 (Ndst.) the student is not able to work in a team and also cannot manage a team as a leader;
for the grade 3 (dst.), the basic student is able to cooperate in a research team, as well as manage a team as a leader;
to get 4 (dst.): the student is able to work well in a research team, as well as manage a team as a leader;
to get 5 (very good): the student is able to cooperate in a research team very well, as well as manage a team as a leader;

Assessment criteria in the field of social competences:
for the grade 2 (N / A) the student is not ready to define priorities in the implementation of the research task;
for the grade 3 (dst.), the basic student is ready to correctly define priorities during the implementation of a research task in human biology
to grade 4 (dst.): a good student is ready to correctly define priorities during the implementation of a research task in human biology
for the grade 5 (very good): the student is ready to correctly define the priorities during the implementation of the research task in human biology
