2009 Activities: Summary

Other than organization and participation of conferences, seminars or workshops, TEMPUS HERE Armenia is also involved in the conduction of surveys:

Brief Description: There were selected MA students from two departments of Yerevan State University, aiming to compare the survey results conducted among the experimental group members (i.e. those who are the first carriers of Bologna reforms, more specifically, of European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)) and control group participants (i.e. MA students of traditional educational system).

The Main Goals:•To reveal the awareness of the students on ECTS.•To compare the levels of awareness on ECTS between experimental and control groups.•To reveal the level of understanding and the main aims of ECTS by students•To find out how the students perceive their readiness for entering the labor market.

Sample: 1st (experimental) and 2nd (control) year MA Students from the departments of Psychology and Sociology (total number of surveyed students: 54).
