Course content
The discipline is mandatory for master's students in all educational programs at the Scientific and Educational Institute of Philology. It consists of 90 instructional hours, including 16 hours of lectures, 12 hours of practical sessions, 2 hours of consultations, and 60 hours of independent work. Its subject matter encompasses modern scientific methodology, the set of methodological tools in science, particularly in philology, as well as intellectual property law and the commercialization of intellectual activity results. The discipline is divided into three content sections. The section "Theoretical Foundations of Philological Research" provides students with knowledge of leading linguistic and/or literary directions and their development in domestic and international contexts, an understanding of the diversity of methodological approaches in philology in the modern era, and facilitates the acquisition of skills in recognizing general scientific analytical approaches. It demonstrates the successive shifts in the dominant scientific paradigms in the history of philology. The section "Methodology of Scientific Research" develops an understanding of science as research, clarifies the concepts of "methodology," "methodology," "research methods," and acquaints students with specific scientific, general scientific, and philosophical levels of methodology. The section "Fundamentals of Intellectual Property" explores the role of intellectual property as intellectual capital in the socio-economic development of society and its place in the humanities. It also familiarizes students with the main forms and mechanisms of commercializing the results of intellectual activity.
