The aim of methodological mean i s t o p r o v i d e main methodological indications for preparation of individual works of students, to improve the quality of prepared study written papers because in the study programs of higher educational institutions, much attention is given to different papers prepared during the learning period. They are an important part of studies process revealing the maturity of students’ knowledge, abilities and competence. There are no common standards of individual works preparation applied for all higher educational institutions of Lithuania because the requirements for papers quality are always changing. Every educational institution develops its own study papers writing and formalization norms. The aim of preparation of student’s individual works is to gather the material and to describe it from the chosen aspect or try to supplement already known matters as well as to raise possible further aim and tasks of analysis. The first papers of this type prepared by a student can not yet amount or even be considered scientific papers, however, they develop the skills of scientific paper preparation as well as help to find a characteristic speaking manner, to learn to formulate the thesis on the basis of the most important theoretical reasonings related to the chosen topic of individual paper. Besides, correct quotation, formulating of own thoughts as well as their provision skills are already applied in individual papers. When writing individual papers, student moves step by step from easier matters to more complicated ones, gathers and systemizes the information. In this way, students learn to perform a systematical and motivated work. Individual written papers involve papers, reports of different researches, notes, documentary reports, thesis, seminars and other papers depending on study programme and the content and volume of the delivered subject. Individual Paper is appointed for students aiming to help the students to connect the theoretical knowledge with practical skills, to deepen the theoretical knowledge of delivered subject, to develop the ability to assess, analyze and summarize the theoretical material, to stimulate to provide the conclusions, to develop individual work skills, ability to analyze, creativity and self-expression. Summarization of Individual Paper of a student can be considered the activity w h i c h : • helps to achieve the level of knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to perform a concrete 4 task; • educates the skills and abilities which enable to increase the self-efficiency of educational process; 5 • helps to form an appropriate psychological attitude for cognitive activity; • makes favourable conditions to develop the thinking processes; • takes place without a direct participation of an educator but by only making a consultation. Material provided in methodological mean is of recommendatory kind, thus, every teacher has an ability to choose the most suitable to him forms of individual work and to prepare individual m e t ho d o lo g i c a l i n d i c a t io ns o f I n d i v i d u a l P a p e r p e r fo r m i n g o f his subject (module). It is important to understand the key aim of the paper. When preparing the methodologies of individual papers of a subject it is the most important to achieve the aims of study programme and subject, to tech the students to think, identify the fact and opinion, make conclusions and summarizations, communicate and collaborate, to reveal potential possibilities of every student by aiming to achieve a self-expression and self-realization in order to d e v e l o p an individual work into creative activity, i.e. the highest expression of consciousness. We don’t consider this methodological mean perfect, however, we expect that it will be useful for teachers and students and experienced colleagues will be stimulated to share their experience. With your help, this mean will be developed further. 6 1. C O N C E P T I O N O F STUDENTS INDIVIDUAL PAPER Individual Paper of students is an important constituent part of nonuniversity study. Study quality and education of students depend very highly on how students’ individual work is organized, controlled, assessed and provided with reference as well as other education means, what is students motyvation and preparation to perform individually study tasks. Teacher prepares a model of individual work organizing in a subject. The aim of this model is to emphasize the individual work organizing in a subject stages and forms of individual paper. The aim of individual work is to develop students’ self-sufficiency skills when solving and performing concrete tasks as well as organizing their practical application. Tasks of individual work organization: 1. To prepare the methodology of individual work organization and assessment i n theoretical lectures. 2. To prepare the methodology of individual work tasks preparation and tasks of individual work. 3. To prepare the system of individual work tasks assessment and to determine the criteria. When solving the raised tasks in a subject, individual work can be realized in separate stages (Pic. 1.1.). Methodology of individual work organizing and assessment (stage 1) The aim of work and tasks are formulated Forms of individual work are determined Methodology of individual work organizing and assessment (stage 2) Tasks of individual work of a subject are prepared Methodological indications of tasks performing are prepared Methodology of individual work organizing and assessment (stage 3) The methods and forms of individual work organizing in the lecture are predetermined Crediting terms are predetermined Resources are determined Assessment criteria are predetermined and assessment system is prepared Tasks assessment system is determined Student‘s individual work 7 A shedule of consultations is made Savarankiško darbo Savarankiško darbo organizavimo ir vertinimo metodika (2 etapas) Savarankiško organizavimo darbo ir vertinimo metodika (1etapas) Suformuojamas darbo tikslas ir uždaviniai Rengiamos dalyko savarankiško darbo užduotys Numatomos savarankiško darbo formos Rengiami užduočių atlikimo metodiniai nurodymai Numatomi ištekliai Numatomi vertinimo kriterijai ir rengiama vertinimo sistema Savarankiško darbo organizavimo ir vertinimo metodika (3 etapas) Numatomi savarankiško darbo organizavimo paskaitoje metodai, formos Numatomi atsiskaitymo terminai Sudaromas konsultacijų grafikas Numatoma užduočių vertinimo sistema Studento savarankiškas darbas Pic. 1. 1.

Individual work of a subject All tasks of individual work have concrete and only for that subject particular aims in every study subject which can not be achieved during the work in the auditorium. As a result, the teacher, when providing the tasks of individual work, must formulate very clearly the goals of the task (Table 1.2). Table 1.2 Aims of individual work (recommendations) Course I Aims of individual work To deepen the knowledge of subject To motivate to deepen into some questions of the studied subject To educate the ability to use the information sources To develop the comparison skills of gathered data To develop the material summarization and conclusions provision skills II To compare the knowledge of subject To develop the comparison skills of gathered data To develop information systemization skills To provide a detailed analysis of the chosen topic To develop summarization, analysis, assessment and conclusions delivery skills III To deepen the knowledge of subject To educate the ability to perform a research of the analyzed topic To develop the ability to evaluate and distinguish positive, negative and other peculiarities of the analyzed topic To develop summarization, analysis, assessment and conclusions delivery skills Specializacija To deepen the knowledge of subject To develop the analysis skills of subject content of the described object by providing the assessments and summarizing conclusions To develop evaluation skills, to deepen into the peculiarities of the analyzed topic To develop the skills of analysis, assessment and modelling To develop the skills of conclusions and recommendations delivery on the analyzed question Students must develop the following general skills: • learning to study; • calculation skills, i.e. gather, register and provide the data; • usage of information technologies; • communicational, linguistical and communication in foreign languages skills; • work with other persons skills, i.e. to work in a team, to solve problems, to accept and perform the obligations; • interpersonal, intercultural, social and civil; • enterprise. 9 We suggest preparing the methodological advice of Individual Work of a subject (module) according the provided in Table 1.3 structure. Table 1.3 Structure of Individual Work Institution Study programme Study form Subject Kind of Individual Work Topic of Individual Work Number of hours intended for Individual Work Aim of Individual Work Tasks of Individual Work Topics/ tasks 1. (should match with objective and interdisciplinary relations of a subject) 2. 3. If it is a detailed list of topics, it can be transferred into annexes and provided there in additional table where students could write down the chosen topic (Annex 1) Methodological advice In this chapter, a discussion of structural parts of analyzed Individial Work is provided. Structure Only in cases when they distinguish by something from the structure provided in methodological advice Recommended list of information sources Assessment Teacher Only in cases when distinguish by something from recommendations provided in general methodological advice Job position, name and surname One the same student learns in different situations differently. His deep or shallow attitude depends on academical task. Shallow attitude does not have anything common with wisdom and for this reason it is related very much with aimless accumulation. It belongs to artificial learning world in which understanding was changed into exact unused knowledge fragments regeneration aiming to please the teacher and get a positive evalaution. Deep attitude impersonate the learning type which teachers expect from the students. Deep attitude provides the students with the possibility to manage and explain the world outside of higher school using the academical knowledge. By learning namely in this way, the result having certain general features are achieved: clear structure, strong base of scientific knowledge, ability to apply own and other people ideas in new situations, knowledge integrity. Thus, teachers, when preparing the tasks of individual works of a subject and the methodological indications of their preparation, should consider the year (semester) of study of the student, if he will have enough knowledge of other subjects for full performing of given 10 task. 11 Volumes of Individual Works should also depend on the complexity of solved problem and final result delivery form. When determining number of hours necessary for the performing of Individual Work, a teacher has to follow to the fact that student needs in two times more time to perform an Individual Work than a teacher performing the same work. Leading recommendations of time and volumes are provided in Table 1.4.

To differentiate the tasks of individual work in respect of the variety of students education; • to stimulate that individual works were discussed in seminars, classes, etc; • to individualize more the tasks of Individual Work in higher study stages. The number of study subjects of Individual Work tasks should usually be equal to n-1, where n is a number of sudy subject credits. 13 2. FORMS OF INDIVIDUAL WORKS 2.1. Preparation for intermediate credits, performing and defence of practical works The methods of students’ individual work organization make a common harmonous system. Different frontal, group, individual and integrated work compositions are possible. Every teacher chooses appropriate forms of Individual Work according the specifics of the delivered subject. The aim of this methodological advice is to provide main methodological, work content and formalization requirements applied for making the prepared study works. 30 per cent of all hours intended for Individual Work in a subject are appointed for the preparation of intermediate tests, performing and defence of Practical Works. The aim of intermediate tests is to give the student a possibility to prove that he h a s a c h i e v e d the aims stated in the programme of a subject. Their purpose is to determine the level of subject aims achievement. When starting to deliver a subject, a teacher, aiming to motivate for subject studies, provides to students t he subject programme, indicates its goals, gives the examples o f int er mediat e tests and exams tasks, topics, questions, their organization order as well as resuls assessment criteria. Before every practical work, a student has to get acquainted with the topics which must be repeated before performing a practical work, the aims and tasks of work, self-control questions at every practical work. Before performing a Practical Work, a student is given a task of Practical Work and work proceeding description (Annex 1) according which Practical Work is performed individually by consulting with a teacher. Having performed the work, a student must defend it. 2.2. Paper Paper is an individual study work intended to analyze in more detail a concrete theoretical problem or to summarize the empirical data. The aims of the Paper is to stimulate the students to deepen more into some issues of the studied subject, to develop the ability to use references, to form the skills of material summarization and conclusions delivery. Paper aims for the following: 14 • to reveal the creativity of students and their ability to choose the most suitable authors, to envisage the essence of their work and to convey persuasively this essence in writing; 15 • by a written paper to show the students’ ability to analyze purposefully and logically the gathered knowledge, analyzed problems and to perform scientific summarization; • by a verbal presentation of a paper to provide the students additional possibilities to answer the questions of students and teachers, to demonstrate the knowledge of the analyzed topic, to gain auditorium management skills. Paper (of I level) it is a study paper briefly dealing with one topic of studied subject, a summary of one or several quotations and their logical arrangement. Paper (of II level) it is a study paper dealing with the essence of a question, brief content of a book or article. Paper (of III level) it is a study paper, the essence of which is made of logical arrangement of exist ing in scient ific lit erature conceptions or attitudes on a certain problem (topic). Papers can be provided in two ways: • In writing; • In writing together with verbal presentation. Paper can be individual and group (in the latter case by indicating t h e i n p u t o f every student to work). A concrete volume and complexity level of a Paper is determined by the teacher who can indicate also key requirements when preparing the methodological indications of Paper preparation, for example.: • volume of paper is at least ten pages of A-4 format; • usage of at least five authors. When preparing the Papers and aiming for the quality of individual study works, the below given structure (Table 2.2.1) and assessment criteria (Table 2.2.3) of Paper are recommended. Table 2.2.1 Structure of Paper Parts of paper Title page Concent Introduction Theoretical part Conclusions List of used reference and data sources Requirements To provide according general written study works requirements To write down the titles of chapters and subchapters as well as number of pages To indicate the analyzed issues, aim of work, tasks and actuality To summarize the material provided in the reference on the chosen topic. To base a part by subsequent and systematic reference arrangement To provide essential summarization. (the author must put a signature and date at the end of Paper) To provide the bibliographical descriptions of used data sources and common reference according general requirements of written study papers 16 Topics of Papers are usually provided by a teacher of they are chosen from a given list by the students themselves. The quality of Paper usually depends on how students are able to prepare for Paper writing. In order the students could prepare better for Individual Paper, leading stages of Paper preparation are recommended (Table 2.2.2). 17 Table 2.2.2 Preparation stages of Paper 14 Choosing a topic Search of reference Studying the reference Making a plan (content) Writing a text Stages Topic of Paper is formulated clearly and briefly (up to 7-8 words) Textbooks, encyclopedias, manuals, scientific articles, online sources (according the provided by the teacher methodological indications) To make an abstract of relative for topic issues (form of abstract card is given in Annex 2) To mark the bibliographical description of the source and pages of relevant text, the most important statements To retell the arguments in own words To mark own thoughts next to the thoughts of the author To consult with the teacher of a subject regarding the content of Paper To avoid deviations to secondary topics It is purposeful to divide the descriptive part into chapters and subchapters by giving to them exact titles A logical compatibility must be kept between chapters and subchapters Concepts related to the analyzed topic are corrected Attitudes to the analyzed topics of different authors are analyzed and summarized The attitude of the author (student) is also inserted and assessed Statements of other authors and their works results should be denied with arrogance Every chapter must be completed: it must include the beginning, analysis and summarization Table 2.2.3 Assessment criteria of Paper Evaluation 10 – 9 (excellent – very good) 8 (good) 7 (good enough) 6 (satisfactorily) 5 (satisfact orily enough) 4 (unsatisfactory and less) Description of criteria The newest reference and other information sources are used.

The disclosure is illogical and inconsequent. Topic is disclosed, however, text is lacking disclosure consequence, the topic is based on only one topic Topic is not fully analyzed, only one textbook is used, the volume is not satisfactory Paper involves only some parts, structural parts are lacking, information sources are not indicated. Paper is partially plagiarized 2.3. Preparation for a seminar Depending on the form of the seminar (analyzing of issues, reading of papers, mixed), a plan of seminar is provided the aims of which is to develop the ability to think critically, solve problems, exercise the oratory abilities and to formulate own attitude. It is very important to think well and provide for students in advance the preparation 15 for a seminar task as well as participation in a seminar assessment criteria . Because the main feature of seminars is discussions. It is the most popular teaching method of small groups. Key aims of discussions are the following: to develop the ability to think critically, t o form democracy and other abilities as well as cognitive skills. This method is the most suitable to deliver the opposite understood matters, to change the attitudes of students, teach to solve the problems, develop the oratory skills, participate in discussions by listening the opponents, evaluating the provided arguments, formulating own attitude and not giving up to emotions. This method is recommended to be chosen for teachers not respecting the schedule of activities. This method is is not very suitable for information transfer. Seminars must be planned in advance. In this case, planning has specific features. First of all, the topic, aim and general basis for discussion of seminar is intended (a book, television programme, excursion and so on), i.e. what will be spoken about during the seminar. It is very important that students had specific knowledge on the issues on which discussions will be made. During a discussion, the roles of the teacher and students must be clearly defined. A seminar takes place successfully provided that the teacher knows when and how he can interrupt. The teacher has to follow that the students don’t loose the topic, to emphasize the incorrectly given facts and logical mistakes and in respect of this to manage the seminar. It is very important to think well over and provide to students a preparation to seminar task and participation in the seminar assessment criteria. 2.4. Excursion EXCURSION (according the Tourism Law of the Republic of Lithuania) is visiting of objects and places during a trip of up to one day according the settled route or a trip with a guide. EXCURSION (according a vocabulary of international words) [lot. excursio ’a hit’] is a collective visiting of a museum, place of interest, exhibition and so on: trip, excursion, picnic to some place on the purposes of education, science, sport or entertainment. Types of excursions: 1. Excursions are made to make impression, experience, amusements and to experience the difference of values: • excursions – tastings; • excursions – concerts; • excursions – fairs; • excursions – impression; 16 • excursions – amusements. 2. Scientific – investigatory type, efficient emphasizing the meaning of demonstrated objects, illustration of theory by real authentic views (teaching process is transferred from auditorium to natural surrounding): • excursions – expeditions; 17 • excursions - lessons. Excursions are classified as follows: according the content excursions are divided into survey (multitopical) and topical; according the participants, excursions can be individual, group, for children, adults, etc. According the form, excursions can be: walking, expedition, lesson, advertisement, concert, experimental and educational. The duration of excursions is from 45 min to one day. Table 2.4.1 Structure of excursion Seq. No 1. Structural parts a. organizational b. informational 2. 3. a. summarization b. the end Content Teacher’s activity Introduction: Topic, route proceeding and rules, etc. of excursion are presented Introduction deals with information, the aim Explanation of task by emphasizing and task, it must stimulate the interest and the main aspects (what will the attention of excursionist, to reflect the participants see during the originality and expressiveness of the topic. excursion and what do they have It should include about 20 per cent of to pay attention to, what data and information remaining in the memory of which stage of excursion should participants they gather) Disclosure It is a disclosure of the chosen topic during the excursion. It should include 60 per cent of main information. 5 per cent of information is intended for individual reception of information or by questioning the guide during the excursion End of excursion Takes place by not showing anything, however, it is a logical finishing of excursion by just summarizing what have been heard, seen and experienced. This part can involve about 15 per cent of information At the end the participants are informed about further their actions If the teacher leads the excursion, the principals of didactics should be applied: scholarliness, connection with life, availability, systematism, persuation, visuality, positiveness Can take place in auditorium when the participants of excursion present the performed tasks. Teacher summarizes the results of excursion feedback Teacher plans the form, time, duration and tasks of excursion. Before the excursion, the teacher introduces to the students the form, time, duration and aims as well as goals of the tasks. Besides, methodological indications for the excursion and their assessment criteria must be prepared for students. 2.5. Announcement Announcements can be made in different topics. Besides, it is intended for solving of delicate, actual problems of a particular field as well as practical suggestions and recommendations are often conveyed. Sometimes, the announcement discloses the activity 18 programme for a concrete period. Announcement should be logical and comprehensive but brief, convincing, clear and fluent. It should not be long: 10-45 minutes with introduction, delivery, all logical evidence and conclusions. 19 There are very different types of announcements, however, in individual study works, informational, discussion and scientific announcements are most oftenly used (Table 2.5.1). Table 2.5.1 Types and goals of announcements Seq. No 1. 2. 3. Type of announcement Informational Discussion Scientific Goals of announcements To give knoweldge To discuss a project, plan, problem and critics overview Exact providing of statements and hypothesis and their reasoning, argumentation, subsequent, systematic and objective delivery of one or another problem Scientific style distinguishes by the following characteristic features: academical accuracy, explicitness of words meaning, rich and various scientific terminology and terminological phraseology, expression of terms i n international words, plentiful neologisms, tendency to use verb and adjective nouns, frequent impersonal sentences, fact s and s t a t e m e n t s are intended t o b e p r o v i d e d i n p o i n t s , emotional elements are strong only in scientific polemics as well as rhetorical questions are often used. Scientific style is determined by scientific branch itself; the nature of object, method and concepts argumentation depending on which field is scientific announcement made. Table 2.5.2 Plans of announcement of projects and business plans Variant I 1. To indicate the goals of projects 2. Possible ways to perform them: good characteristics and their shortages 3. The best recourse: to solve tasks (problems) from economical (saving respect) Variant II 1. Naming of performed projects (previous and present) 2. Their critics: good characteristics and shortages 3. Suggested project 4. Why is it better? Variant III 1. Occurred state 2. Necessity to find a recourse 3. Possible recourse 4. Suggested recourse 5. Why is it better? When criticizing, it is necessary to emphasize also good features of a phenomenon or project; mistakes and perfection, inaccuracies and other bad points must be indicated. Presentation of programme or a project without providing the critics of the others is also possible, when having analyzed one project or programme (it can be also of opponents), all possible positive points are mentioned and after the advantages of the second project or programme are explained followed by the provision of novelties of own project or programme in order to prove why it is better than the presented previous good and very good projects and programmes. When preparing the methodological indications of the announcement, the following evaluation criteria of the announcement are recommended: 1. Self-sufficiency of a student. 20 2. Presentation of announcement (it is recommended also to assess the oratory abilities). 3. Correct delivery of visual means. 4. Retaining the structure of announcement. 5. Disclosure of additional knowledge (eg. literature survey). 21 6. Results analysis(statistical analysis). 7. Reasoning of conclusions. 2.6. Individual work of problematic learning Creative learning processes are not possible without problematical methods. When solving a problem, it is important to understand the task and to look for the answer. During the paper preparation process, large self-expression possibilities occur, especially contributing to the formation of scientific world-view. In the individual work of problematic learning, the largest emphasis is made to the problems which students will face in professional activity. Problematic individual works stimulate students to apply a deep attitude to the solution of a problem, to be responsible for made decisions and help to educate the need of constant improvement. Problematic individual works can be of several levels: Level I is applied when the educator provides, forms and solves an educational problem and students solve analogical tasks individually. Level II is applied when the educator provides and forms a problem but does not indicate exact solving methods. Students look for them individually, solve problems and make decisions. Level III is applied when the educator only ind icat es t he scientific problem but does not formulate it. Students discuss the problem individually, look for solution methods and solve it as well as make motivated decisions. Problematic individual study works can be of various forms chosen by the lecturer considering the aims and goals of study programme or subject (module). 2.7. Semester paper In semester paper, theoretical, application or practical problems of smaller scope are solved. They can be descriptive, analytical, application type and scientific investigative. The aims of semester paper are to develop the ability of students to use the reference and other information sources, analyze and systemize the data, assess and summarize the information, formulate the conclusions and suggestions as well as work individually. A student receives the methodological indications of paper with indicated topic, paper plan, content, reference and other issues related to the chosen paper topic. 22 A lecturer consults the student and makes remarks and suggestions. For crediting, a student must provide a fully arranged and corrected paper and to present it to all group. Presentation should take up to 10 min. Table 2.7.1 Structure of semester paper Parts of paper Title page To provide according general written study papers requirements Content must include all constituent parts of semester paper. The volume of every part Depends on type and purpose of paper To reason the actuality and novelty of topic, to indicate the aim, tasks, object and research methods. Structure and content of paper are briefly disclosed To make an overview of the reference on the analyzed topic, to reveal the systemized opinions of different scientists, to say and reason own opinion about the analyzed problem To provide a factual situation of investigative problem and the analysis of factual material Content Introduction Theoretical part Empirical part Conclusions and suggestions Reference Annexes Requirements To formulate the most important work conclusions considering the aims of paper, suggestions must reflect the solution methods of existing problem and to indicate the trends of newideas implementation To provide all sources of used reference and data To provide annexes supplementing the paper (tables, schemes, sources of primary inforamtion and other additional material) 2.8. Report of professional activity and specialization practice During the practice, students perform tasks which are indicated in the methodological indications of subject practice (Annex 4). Having performed the tasks, students prepare a practice report. Practice report is prepared according the methodological indications of report arrangement provided by a lecturer. Practice report is recommended to be arranged according the following structure: 1. Title page. 2. Content. 3. Introduction. 4. Tasks of analyzed topic. 5. Results of tasks permorfming and their discussion. 6. Conclusions. 7. Information sources. 8. Annexes. The system and criteria of practice report assessment are indicated by the lecturer in 23 methodological indications. The date of practice report provision and presentation is indicated by the lecturer. 24 2.9. Report of final practice The aims of final practice are indicated in study programme. The volume of practice is 6 credits. Practice is performed in governmental and private institutions and organizations. Student chooses the place of practice himself or it is suggested by a department. Practice tutor is appointed by a department. Before leaving to practice, students are given instruction. A programme is adjusted with t h e t u t o r s of practice and final paper. The aims and tasks are provided in a programme of final practice subject. At the end of practice, student prepares a practice report, provides it to the tutor of practice in the company and receives his feedback and evaluation according 10-points system. It is recommended to make a practice report in the following form: 1. Title page. 2. Filled appointment to practice (tripartite agreement of practice performing) and response with evaluation received by practice tutor in the company. 3. Introduction. 4. Object characteristics. 5. Analysis of applied in the company technologies and other activity indicators according company activity fields, considering practice aims and tasks. 6. Conclusions. 7. Recommendations. Report is formalized according general written study works requirements and is presented to practice tutor at the determined time. Practice defense time is determined by to practice tutor. 2.10. Project work In a professional human activity, more and more often the priority is given to a creative and individual problems solution, abilities to work in a team, to communicate and collaborate. In a learning process, project is a scheduled and organized activity the aim of which is to overcome and solve the task. 25 When participating in a project activity, a student changes not only an objective reality for more effective its functioning but also changes himself by improving his experience, knowledge, abilities and developing his professional qualification. Since the performing of project is based on learning in groups, the participants of project get a chance to face in reality unexpected, even conflict situations during collaboration and it improves communication abilities, personal features of a student and activity skills. Didactical features of projects are as follows: • students must be open for new ideas, conceptions, they have to take initiative, choose and make conclusions by themselves; • students face real problems occurring in real life and they are particularly motivated by this; • during the project, theoretical and practical learning take place; • different matters are integrated in practical and theoretical level; • students have a possibility to feel their influence to the implementation of the project, responsibility for made by them decisions and activity; • teacher communicate with students as an advisor and partner; • the final product of the project is thesis, announcement, exhibition, engineering project and so on. Project individual work teaches students the following: • to see a problem or task; • to define them; • to make correct decision; • to solve a problem or task. During the project, factors influencing the individual activity of students are also developed: • initiativie, ingenuity, intelligence; • planning of own work; • analysis of factors having influence to solution of problems; • search of necessary information; • ability to choose the necessary material; • ability to base a research on the chosen material, available or obtained data; • ability to analyze the results; • ability to integrate the knowledge of several subjects; • ability to trust in own mind and be realistic; • participation in gathering and treatment of data; • criticism; 26 • suitable finishing of work and conclusions formulation. When preparing the methodological indications and tasks for project individual work, a teacher has to plan them appropriately by indicating project limits (how much time and resources can be appointed for that), project implementation plan and evaluation of every member of team. 2.11. Integrated individual work Recently, united, holistic and education principal is emphasized in the practice of pedagogical theory as well as education institutions. The essence of united attitude is ’everything exists in the context of interaction, relation and essence and that every change and event conditions a c h a n g e o v e r o f a l l making, let it be small and that never phenomena realized individually cannot be fully understood..’ (R. Miller, p.24.) Understanding of united education is based on the attitude that the world is an integrated entirety in which everything is related. In the united education understanding, main role falls to the relations of personality (intellectual, emotional, physical, spiritual, etc.) as well as of individual matters, methods, education aims and tasks, separate concepts, etc. Theoretical education integration fundamentals were analyzed by J. Laužikas who paid much attention to the integrality of education process and stated that a man wants to be integral from his origin. However, sometimes in the education process the principal of integration is not followed: • either active or provisional methods are overvaluated; • a ratio of freedom and discipline is not retained: it is tended to extremities and one-sidedness; • the integrality of content is not retained: without interrelation, even relative matters and separate topics are provided. Thus, the most important objective of integral pedagogic is physical and spiritual integrity of educated person as well as development of his individuality and preparation for harmonious connection with the world. The essence of integrated individual work is common aim of work, subject tasks, subject and common consultations, presentation of work and its evaluation under participation of the teachers of all integrated subjects. Objectives of integrated individual work are the following: • to integrate inter subjective knowledge and abilities; • to gain knowledge by studying individually; • to improve and develop communicational abilities; • to develop problems solving abilities; 27 • to stimulate the motivation, curiosity and creativity; 28 • to learn to work in groups and manage group projects (when preparing group individual works). When preparing to perform integrated individual works, it is very important communication and collaboration by discussing the works, tasks, their performing methods and proceeding. We suggest the steps of recommendational type (Table 2.11.1). Table 2.11.1 Steps of integrated individual work Title of work Content usefulness actuality and importance, novelty 1. Decision 2. Choosing the students/students group 3. Choosing the colleagues 4. Discussing of paper topic, aims and structure 5. Determination of ISD crediting forms/methods 6. A meeting with students open to changes intends reading the lectures abroad participates/will participate in international projects will follow ISD specifics Presentation of ISD essence, topics, aims and tasks Provision of requirements discussing the time of consultations discussing of assessment 7. Consultation and observation 8. Crediting 9. Evaluation 2.12. Preparation of scientific articles Every student who dreams of professional career must be acquainted with writing fundamentals of scientific articles and announcements, to know how to speak to auditorium, communicate in a group, to be able to provide data in text and illustrations, to prepare scientific presentations and other matters which improve and make easier communication skills. Articles can be of two types: scientific and popularization (Table 2.12. 1) Table 2.12.1 Types of articles Scientific Are written to the scientists of concrete field Popularization Are written not to professionals Differ from popularizing announcement by the following Deal with investigated matters Text must be very attractive points: volume more detailed problem analysis wider and richer r e v e a l i n g o f d a t a , evidences and illustrations pateikimu 29 sudėtingesne kalba Articles are written in professional language involving conceptions of professional meaning and exact terms 30 Main methodological requirements for scientific article structure are the following: 1. Heading. 2. Name and last name of the author. 3. Name of institution where the author studies or works. 4. Annotation. 5. Introduction. 6. Content of the article. 7. Conclusions. 8. Sources and reference. 9. Summary in one of main foreign languages (English, French, German). However, every edition usually provides general requirements for preparation of an article and text layout, exa mp les a nd vo lu m e o f r esear ch data and reference sources provision bibliographical descriptions. Thus, when providing an article for publishing, requirements of every edition are followed. 2.13. Final paper Final paper is a qualificational Individual Paper revealing student’s ability to connect the theoretical knowledge of study subjects, practical skills, research methods and professional competence. The methodological indications of final paper are given at http://www.zak.lt 31 3.

The content itself is not indluded into the list. A word ’CONTENT’ is written in capital letters in bold font. Parts, chapters, subchapters, paragraphs and pages are numbered in Arabic numerals. After every number naming a part of content is followed by full stop. A full stop is not typed after the number indicating the page. A title of every part, chapter, subchapter or paragraph is written in capital letter. After it, a dotted line until the indicated page number is typed (Annex 8). Chapters ’Introduction’ and ’Annexes’ are not numbered in content and the dotted line is not typed and page numbers are not indicated (Annex 6). Chapters ’Conclusions’ or „’Conclusions and suggestions’, ’Information sources Are not numbered in a content and after dotted line page numbers are indicated (Annex 8). Introduction. Introduction deals with reasoning of topic choice, its actuality and novelty are indicated as well as the following items are formulated: problem of paper, aim of paper, tasks and research object. The paper should involve one aim and some tasks. Tasks are formulated for all paper for the analysis of information sources as well as its experimental part. Usable verbs for tasks making: to explain, define, identify, describe, interpret, illustrate, compare, contradistinguish, make, resolve, distinguish, confront, separate, evaluate, investigate, determine, analyze, schematize, differentiate, criticize, formulate, create, design, compose, prepare, check, etc. Two verbs can be also used. It is important to write an introduction in a way to make an impression about the essence of the paper having read it. Introduction usually deals with the difficulties the author has faced when gathering the information sources, factual material, performing the researches, writing a paper or having achieved the predetermined goal. The volume of introduction is up to 2 pages. Paper results and their discussing. Analytical part. It is the main part of the paper. This part deals with factual or project situation of investigative problem as well as the analysis of factual material. By using the material of statistical data, financial accounting, researches, inquiries and observation material, various economical calculations are performed which are written into analytical tables. The stated in the text hypothesis are confirmed or denied and the reasons, achievements are justified. 39 The description of personal researches results should not start with the following words: ’I have made aan investigation’, ’I have found’, etc. It is better to use the following impersonal words compounds : ’it has been determined’, ’it has been investigated’ and so on. It is inadvisable to abuse the following i n t r o d u c t o r y w o r d s c o m p o u n d s : ’The emphasis must be made on’, ’it should be noticed that’ and so on. Long sentences should be avoided because such text is more difficult to understand. References to other parts of paper (chapters, subchapters), tables, pictures are marked by writing their sequence numbers. For example: (Chapter 4); (p.54). Tables, pictures and graphs. A visual material is used in almost all study papers. It is inserted in the text in order to make the text clearer and more accurate, in order to emphasize the differences and tables would include more information. Every table or picture (graphs, diagrams are marked in study papers as pictures) must be numbered and necessarily discussed in the text. Most part of tables and pictures can be provided in annexes. However, also in annexes given material must be discussed in the text. Text or annexes should not include illustrations (pictures, graphs, tables) material which has not been analyzed in the text. Illustrations of every chapter are numbered by writing down the number of chapter or subchapter, after the number of picture and only then its title. Diagrams are not separately numbered, they are marked as pictures and numbered in subsequent order. Pictures and tables are numbered for every chapter separately, by also writing their title. Numbers of pictures (and diagrams) and their titles are written below the picture (centered). Tables are marked on the right side by also indicating the number of table, eg.: ’Table 4.7.1’ and in the next line by writing centered the title of table. Numbers and titles of illustrations and tables are written in bold, 10 pt font as it is shown in Pic. 3.2 1.

Perennial flowers are fertilized the last time by phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. In the second half of the month, till the middle of September, peonies and lilies are replanted. Seeds of annual and perennial flowers are gathered. Annual flowers with finished vegetation are pulled out. Biennial flowers can be planted instead of them. September. At this time, a big emphasis is made to the order of a parterre. It should be known which plants will be replanted. In autumn, before planting perennial flowers, soil must be fertilized; it is also done before planting of bulbous flowers. The overground part of perennial flowers is cut. The soil around the plants is mulched with peat. October. It is possible to prepare the soil from the autumn for some annual flowers, especially for those which do not tolerate replanting. It is very important to plant blublous flowers timely in order to grow up the roots till frost. The best time to pant most of bulbous flowers of spring blossom is from the end of September to the beginning of October. November. When the soil freezes in one centimetre or two, fastidious plants should be mulched. This process should not be performed earlier because when the ground is not still frozen, the plants can reek or gnawed by mise. It‘s time to plan the quantities of necessary chemicals and fertilizers as well as tools and other means for flowers growing. Work proceeding: 1. To analyze the reference about maintenance works of outside flowers (in autumn). 2. To make a plan of seasonal works (August-November). REVISION QUESTIONS: 1.

Kaunas Botanical Park of Vytautas Magnus University. Information. Bulbous flowers are attributed to a group of perennial flowers. Their stems under the ground have changed into bulbs. Bulbous flowers reproduce by bulbs. A ratio of reproduction of different bulbous flowers genuses, species and even breed is not equal. Small bulbous flowers reproduce more quickly (bluebells, Muscari, Glory-of-the-snow, snowflakes, some breeds of tulips and narcissuses). Hyacinths, some lilies and eritrones reproduce slowly. Most bulbous flowers, except Galtonias, winter in soil. Bulbous flowers are planted in autumn. The depth of bulbs planting depends on the size of a bulb and soil characteristics. The bulbs of most outside flowers are planted in a depth of the height of three bulbs (tulips, narcissuses, hyacinths). In heavier soil they are planted more shallow, in more light soil they are planted deeper. The planting depth of lilies bulbs depends on the morphological pecularities of the plant. Work proceeding: 1. A classification of bulbous flowers learnt during the theoretical and practical activities is repeated. 2.

Every reproduction method has its advantages and disadvantages. A quicker way of reproduction is by seeds, however, some plants develop from seeds for long time: the start blooming only in the 3rd – 4th year and not always transfer the features of original plant. Especially vary xenogamious plants. Here the heredity is transferred through the genes in germ cells of the plant. Such cells are in a germ of a cell. Intercrossed plants create new combinations of genes, this way making the background for making of new species of flowers. Vegetatively reproduced plants bring the heredity genes in somatic cells which are located through all the plant. In many cases, somatic cells transfer teh features of original plant, however, this way it is impossible to grow immediately a large number of new plants. A microclonal method of vegetative reproduction develop when new plants are grown from mother part of a plant (bulbous plants from juicy onoin shells). Work proceeding: 1. To analyze the reference about flowers reproduction. 2. Choose the substrates for flowers reproduction. 3. Prepare the slips for reproduction and reproduce them. REVISION QUESTIONS: 1.

Assessment of Practical Work: students must perform the indicated in practical paper tasks. The Assessment of achievements is threshold 5 (weak): tasks are performed in low level, knowledge meet minimal requirements. The quality of tasks performing is satisfactory. Applies the knowledge to solve simple practical problems. Place of practice: Collectional growing territory of outside flowers of Landscaping Faculty, parterres of the faculty. Kaunas Botanical Park of Vytautas Magnus University. Informacija. Perennial outside plants meet the period of calmness by loosing a larger part of overground organs. Only their changed underground stems, roots or growing (wintering) buds in the ground winter. Perennial flowers prepare in advance for calmness period (wintering). Growing buds form from the end of summer to the beginning of autumn (peonies, larkspurs, astilbes, aconites, Sunflowers, etc. ). These are mostly high plants. Vegetative stems of some perennial flowers winter (Moss Pinks, Caucasian, Rocky and other species of Orpines, visžalės rudgrūdėlės, etc.). They are protected from freeze by the leaves of other plants and snow layer. Younger plants are more freeze-resistant. Perennial not wintering outside flowers are the plants originated from warm countries. They are crocosmias, galtonias, gladiolus, acidantheras - corm plants; tuberous begonias - tuber flowers, dahlias - tuber plants. In Lithunia these plants winter inside. All wintering with leaves flowers should be digged out before freeze and to keep during the winter in light cool place. Outside grown Pelargoniums, fuchsias, lanthanuns as well as carpeting flowers grown for spring reproduction are digged out before frosts. Dahlias are digged out after frosts. At the end of September or at the beginning of October, gladiolus, crocosmias, acidantheras, canas and galtonias are digged out. Gladiolus are digged out on a sunny day. The leaves are taken our and a stick of 3 – 5 cm near the corm is left. Galtonias are first of all dried off in180 C temperature and after placed in a cool place. Canas and crocosmias are placed in a basement with all ground. Only overground their part must be cut. Some of these flowers distinguish by specific digging out and storage technologies, however, there are also the following general ones: 1. It is digeed by trying not to damage the wintering parts (tubers and corms). 2. Before the digging or having digged out, overground part is cut by leaving short sticks stems. 3. The ground is cleaned and parts of plants are dried off in a sun. Dried ground is shaked one more time. 4. Parts of plants are placed into boxes and brought to the storage place. Warehouses must be cleaned and disinfected. 5. Corms of gladiolus are dried for a bout two weeks in 20-300C temperature, old corms and small tuber buds are separated and a stick of the stem is turned out. 6. If the warehouses are dry and warm, the corms of crocosmias and tubers of tuberous begonias are kept in a peat. Work proceeding: 1. A description of practicum is read. 2. A list of wintering and not wintering outside flowers is made. 3. In a place of practice performing, the flowers are identified. 4. Wintering pecularities of perennial flowers. 5. Data are written in tables 1 and 2. Table 1 Wintering outside flowers Name of the plant (botanical and Latin) Organs of the plant winter Notes Table 2 Not wintering outside flowers Name of the plant (botanical and Organs of the plant winter Notes Latin) Tasks are corrected in a place of work. REVISION QUESTIONS: 1. Name the flowers which winter in vegetative stems. 2. Name the flowers which winter in rosette of leaves. 3. What plant organs does flower x winter? 4. Name the flowers not wintering outside. 5. How are the corms of gladiolus prepared for winter? INFORMATION SOURCES 1. VAIDELYS, Jonas ir KLIMAVIČIUS, Donatas. Svogūninės ir kitos gėlės.
