Journal Title: Anthropological Researches and Studies - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
Objectives. The present article aims to analyze some aspects of student’s training and the quality of lecturing as a specific basis for modern university support students’ integration to research activities. The article focuses on how students assess the educational process, what is the quality of teaching, what part of the training is associated with the development of research activities among students; in what specific research activities students are participating. Special attention is paid to Ph.D. students as actors who have already made their choice for linking with research. Another important aspect of the analysis is the role of the family as an environment that stimulates and supports young people in their choices, preferences, and interests. Material and methods. The paper is based on results obtained through quantitative as well as qualitative methods in the course of research projects carried out in 2013, 2015, and 2017 at South-West University (SWU). The main methods of obtaining information are focus groups and survey conducted with students from bachelor and master programs as well as with Ph.D. students in the Faculty of Philosophy, SWU. Results and conclusions. The basic conclusion of the study is that the quality of education and the formation of creativity skills and student's research activity are related to the development of the modern university and the high level of education and training. Research activity forms many qualities that have both professional and social character and are important for the future realization of young people. The development of doctoral education is a prerequisite for the reproduction of the research potential of the university, so investments aimed at doctoral training are of great importance for the future of the university system and the stimulation of young people to develop their research workload.
