Full-time form

Prior to taking the course, students are expected to possess foundational knowledge of philosophy, cultural studies, and the basics of scientific inquiry acquired in previous semesters. They should demonstrate skills in working with academic texts, critical thinking, and academic writing. The ability to analyze, synthesize, and draw well-reasoned conclusions from information is essential. Students should be able to work with a range of sources (scholarly articles, monographs, electronic resources), be familiar with key scientific concepts and terminology, participate in discussions, and prepare both oral and written presentations. Additional requirements include readiness for independent analytical work, adherence to academic integrity, effective use of digital resources, and an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the scientific worldview.

The course Scientific Worldview consists of a single content module. It is designed to introduce students of the humanities to the emergence and development of science in society, as well as to the key achievements of its various fields. The course aims to foster a modern scientific worldview in students, which is essential for understanding and engaging with the realities of 21st-century civilization.

The course is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars, and independent study. Lectures provide a structured overview of the evolution of scientific knowledge, the development of the scientific worldview, interdisciplinary perspectives, and key contemporary scientific concepts. Seminars focus on the critical reading and discussion of scientific and philosophical texts, the interpretation of core concepts, and the exploration of major epistemological issues. Teaching draws on a range of approaches, including analytical, problem-based, discussion-led, and case-study methods. Independent study involves engagement with academic sources, as well as the preparation of essays, presentations, and small-scale projects, supported by the use of digital resources. Assessment is based on tests, written assignments, and oral presentations, alongside continuous and final evaluation, with an emphasis on interactive formats such as group work and class discussion.

Assessment is conducted continuously throughout the semester in accordance with the specified types of coursework and forms of evaluation. The final form of assessment is a pass/fail credit. The credit is awarded on the basis of the student’s overall performance during the semester and does not involve any additional assessment procedures. Students who achieve the minimum passing threshold of 60 points receive a “pass,” while those who score below 60 receive a “fail.” Students who do not meet the minimum requirement must complete the outstanding topics by submitting additional assignments, essays, or, if necessary, a written test.
