Course content
|
During the semester, one block of seminar/lecture is planned with compulsory student attendance. The session consists of discussions on applied designs presented by students, sharing of experience among students and presentation of formal requirements for the project final report. Further, the course is realized via individual consultations according to the specific need of students with a connection to their project. The available academics look after the material and non material equipment including academics with specific methodological know-how who are available for individual consultations with students in the field: - Development of questionnaires - Qualitative methodology - Software for analysis of qualitative data - Atlas.ti - Software for quantitative data analysis and data mining - SPSS Statistics, Modeler and Amos - Software for development of own tests with on-line administration - Software for sociomapping (analysis of group dynamics in real-time) - Software for on-line administration of test by Hogrefe (HTS5) - 3D printer - Workcentre and scanners - Thermovision camera - Eyetracker - Photo and video equipment - Experimental car Persons responsible for equipment and persons with specific know-how are listed for students in the internal learning system. It is recommended to connect this module with the dissertation project and practice while students choose a particular applied design for innovation development. A student could use outputs from practice and use the object of basic research from the dissertation project in the development of innovation. If a student decides not to utilize linkage with the dissertation project, a student can then choose one from the following options: 1. Analysis of needs and sources of motivation with a recommendation to a reward system in the real environment of a small company. 2. An intervention in risk and disadvantaged groups at the labor market (outplacement program for employees in contract termination, unemployed, 55+, graduates, women after maternity leave etc.). 3. The work snapshots of a specific profession and following work analysis. Determination of work abilities "KSAO" and methods for assessment of work abilities. Investigation of changes in work abilities during the career cycle. Development of an innovative method for assessment specific work ability and its experimental evaluation. 4. Analysis of specific profession and composition of a DC for this position. The goal is an identification of individuals fitting preconditions for developmental program attendance/an identification of items for an individual training plan, aimed at fitting preconditions for developmental program attendance. A DC contains at least one original method and whole DC will be verified. 5. The development of an innovative method for evaluating the effectiveness of training or development. 6. The identification of a dominant element of the overall job performance in a real environment, the development of one qualitative and one quantitative method for prediction of the identified component of overall job performance in applicants (individuals). 7. The analysis of a real system of job performance management, development of an intervention or an intervention program for system support, evaluation of intervention effectiveness.
