Abstract
This course builds upon the student’s bachelor’s thesis proposal and focuses on the systematic implementation of the student’s own research or application-oriented study in the field of pedagogy and special education. Under the guidance of an advisor, the student develops the theoretical foundations of the topic, refines the methodology, and carries out the collection and ongoing processing of data or other source materials. Emphasis is placed on the ability to work with professional sources, adhere to ethical principles of work, and reflect on the progress of the research. The outcome of the course is a draft version of the bachelor’s thesis, which forms the basis for its completion in the subsequent course.
