-        procedures for filing complaints and appeals by students

In accordance with Article 5 of the Methodology for the Creation of Study Programmes at UKF, each study subject has clearly defined forms and methods of assessment of learning outcomes with defined criteria, rules and conditions for completing the course in the course information sheet, thus ensuring fair application of assessment criteria for all students. Article 2 of the UKF Code of Ethics defines the principles of pedagogical activity according to which a university teacher and researcher shall treat students fairly, justly, collegially and openly, shall not commit personal humiliation, immoral behaviour or coercion, shall act fairly and transparently in the evaluation of learning outcomes, shall not abuse teaching or other authority and shall not require students to perform activities that are the subject of his/her own duties.

The University is assured that the criterion is met through student assessment. According to the Guidelines on the University's Policy on Student Evaluation of Education and Teachers, students comment on the teacher's evaluation of students through a questionnaire survey.

c) - Characteristics and extent of distance education applied in the study programme with the assignment to courses. Access, manuals of e-learning portals. Procedures for the transition from contact teaching to distance learning.

The study programme does not envisage distance learning unless unforeseen circumstances arise that require a transition from full-time to distance learning. The pandemic in 2020 and 2021 tested the readiness of the University, the lecturers, and the material and technical equipment of the UKF to smoothly transition to distance learning, including state examinations (dissertation examinations and dissertation defences). Various communication channels are used for this purpose, such as the university videoconferencing system meet, Microsoft Teams, the UKF e-learning portal, google clasroom, Google Meet, Zoom or other platforms.

The UKF e-learning portal is automatically accessible to all UKF students and lecturers, provides support for all courses and sharing of study materials for students, easy submission of assignments and tasks, clear communication in forums and sophisticated online testing of knowledge. The UKF e-learning portal is prepared as a full-fledged replacement of the full-time form of study. It provides the latest version of LMS Moodle. Each teacher can create their own courses, add study materials, collect student assignments, test students online and communicate with them. Students access the system with the same login credentials as AIS. The educator, through the faculty administrator, sets up a course for the subject he or she teaches.

The e-learning portal of the UKF provides:

for students: access to study materials, watching videos of lectures, engaging in online feedback, notification of upcoming deadlines, tracking study progress, communicating via messaging, sending emails, submitting assignments via PC, mobile and tablet, discussing projects, lectures, testing acquired knowledge.

For teachers: space for publishing study materials to students, easy way to share interesting links in the form of links, videos, texts, tracking student activity, interactive use of activities directly in the lecture using Moodle mobile apps, defining deadlines for submission, grading directly in the course (according to: https://edu.ukf.sk/).

d) - Institution partners in providing educational activities for the study programme and the characteristics of their participation.

The Department of Pedagogy cooperates with partner faculties and universities from Slovakia and abroad in the field of educational and research activities of the study programme. The subject of cooperation is mainly the opposition of dissertation thesis, written drafts for dissertation exams, participation in state examination or in scientific research events. The partners of the providing department are: Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava; Faculty of Education, Catholic University in Ružomberok; Faculty of Education, Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica; Faculty of Education, University of Prešov in Prešov; Faculty of Arts, University of Ss.

f) - Possibilities and conditions for participation of the study programme students in mobilities and internships (indicating contact details), application instructions, rules for recognition of this education.

Mobility is carried out on the basis of Erasmus+ bilateral agreements signed with partner higher education institutions abroad.
