Representatives of students, employers and other stakeholders were also involved in the preparation of the study programme with regard to the fulfilment of accreditation criteria.
Taking into account the needs of practice and the fulfilment of the criteria of quality standards, respecting the needs of the labour market and the requirements placed on graduates of the didactics of history programme, students and external stakeholders (employers) are considered as immediate co-creators (designers of modifications) of the programme.
The presented study programme thus directly fulfils the directives of Comenius University Internal Regulation No. 23/2021 Internal Quality Assurance System of Higher Education of Comenius University in Art. 24 Establishment and Membership of the Study Programme Council, that the members of the study programme Council at each stage of the improvement of the study programme include students and employers' representatives.
During the modification of the didactics of history study programme, the information of the completed and current graduates of the programme, as well as their and employers' information, was taken into account. We consider the opinions of both stakeholders to be an important factor in the continuous improvement of the focus, forms and organisation of the study programme, and they have become a co-inspiration for the current updating of the emphasis of the content and methodological aspects of the individual courses.
The main result of the feedback from students as well as employers are changes in the emphasis of the content of individual courses.
Optimal feedback from student doctoral students has been specifically manifested in specific courses in the field of didactics of history, as internal doctoral students in particular are systematically encouraged to give immediate feedback to the lecturers. In the evaluation and defence of doctoral seminar papers, students also comment on the extent to which the course was effective and useful in the treatment of the topic, or to what extent it contributed to the improvement of the level of dissertation elaboration. Teachers try to be flexible where possible and to emphasise some aspects of the course content more specifically. The evaluation of teachers' work in individual subjects helps to improve the quality of teachers' work, to eliminate shortcomings, as well as to introduce new teaching methods and procedures.
The insights that have emerged from discussions with employers have alerted us to longer-standing problems of practice, or problems arising from the building of transferable practical competences in graduates. However, more substantial updating of the structure of the study programme, or the introduction of new courses, which resulted from some of the requirements or recommendations of employers and graduates of the third cycle of studies themselves, require further preparation and consultation, and partly changes that go beyond our possibilities and competences - e.g. the introduction of compulsory teaching practice, or longer-term teaching of a given apprenticeship in a school environment. The adoption of the proposals would also affect the structure of the first and second cycle curricula. Overall, however, it can be summarised that the new curriculum proposal responds significantly to the conclusions of the two sides of the feedback mentioned above.
The present proposal for a third- degree study programme defines and specifies the scope of the programme's own approbation more clearly and explicitly than the previous one, without undermining its pedagogical character. The new feature is already visible in the structure of the modules of the programme, but the changes capture above all the internal content of all the courses of the degree programme (see Course Information Sheets). Thanks to the experience of the first years and the results of the programme, the aims, objectives and the necessary requirements of the graduate profile are more clearly and strategically formulated. It clearly outlines all the desirable theoretical, practical and ethical competences of the graduate for his/her successful future work.

The didactics of history study programme in its structure and content fulfils the description of the study field 38. Teacher Training and Education Science. The knowledge, skills and competences acquired within this study programme are in line with the supporting themes of the core knowledge of the field of study according to Article 1.4 and with the content of the field of study and according to Article 4.1 on the areas and scope of knowledge, skills and competences that profile the graduate of the first degree study programme. The content of the programme of study covers more than 85 % of the content of the field of study identical.
The compulsory courses of the curriculum (180 credits) are designed to cover proportionally the supporting topics of the core knowledge of the field of study, while the follow-up compulsory-optional courses further develop the knowledge, skills and competences that profile the graduate of the field of study.
The study programme Didactics of History in the third cycle of higher education organically follows the study programme Teacher Training of History in combination in the second cycle of higher education. It provides the scientific education necessary for research in the field of history teaching at all levels of education, including adult education, as well as its application to school and educational practice. The Didactics of History study programme is based on the autonomous position of history within the limits of the specific history-history teaching relationship, using the functions, goals and cognitive apparatus of both disciplines in close synergy with the pedagogical-psychological disciplines to prepare specialists for research and the creation of effective models for the conceptualisation of history (historical knowledge) in the school educational system (i.e.: in the creation of models of history). It perceives the actual didactics of history as a boundary discipline, and thus uses primarily the methodological procedures of historical disciplines and their epistemologies; it presents the autonomous methodological procedures of its own didactics in close correspondence with the methodological procedures of historiography, pedagogy and psychology, and also emphasizes the close links to other social science disciplines (especially philosophy and ethics).
The doctoral programme concentrates on the theoretical aspects of the construction of the didactics of history, nowadays understood as an indispensable tool for the construction of a social and personal historical culture of an advanced knowledge society. It wants to prepare experts - specialists for professional-pedagogical research of environments, tools, methods and needs of history teaching, for research of concepts of implementation of history in the current and future cognitive process, and research of their influence on the development of relevant functional literacy, thus preparing creators of new conceptual proposals of functional historical culture of society.

in the study part:
- deepening students' knowledge of current theoretical problems of historical research and ways of solving them
- deepening students' knowledge of current developmental tendencies and theories of history teaching, modifications of the history-history teaching interrelationship and the ways in which they are solved in specific partial parts of the school system at home and abroad
In the scientific section:
- the student's own scientific research on an open scientific problem in the field at a level meeting European criteria
- cultivation of the student's ability to formulate his/her own conclusions of scientific work, to communicate them competently, to discuss and present them at scientific conferences, to publish in scientific journals
The compulsory courses reflect the core topics of the study field's core knowledge as defined by the description and at the same time the current needs of teaching practice.
The group of compulsory courses includes courses that are also profile courses. All courses are six-credit courses. For the compulsory courses, the student receives a total of 36 credits (excluding the dissertation examination and the defence). The compulsory courses include courses on the development of a research project, qualitative and quantitative research methodology, pedagogical research methodology in school history, current issues in general and national history, and didactics of history in perspective. Within the framework of compulsory and profile courses, the student will acquire competences that are directly related to the graduate's profile. The group of compulsory optional courses consists of Group A and Group B. The student must obtain a minimum of six credits in each. Five three-credit courses are included in the group of optional courses. This group completes the range of courses on offer and gives the student the opportunity to choose his/her study path. The student must obtain 98 credits for the study part and 60 credits for the scientific part. A detailed description of the obligatory and compulsory optional courses of the Didactics of History study programme - i.e. a detailed specific description of their content, objectives and desired results of their completion - is given in the individual course information sheets.
The full-time study programme also includes a pedagogical part, which is an integral part of this study. Doctoral students, in agreement with the supervisor, are involved in pedagogical activities: participation in the teaching process, creation of teaching aids and study texts, supervision of works presented at student scientific professional activities.

Teachers are able to flexibly use appropriate and effective teaching methods, not only for intact students but also for students with specific needs, so as to achieve the desired learning outcomes. The individual coordinators for students with specific needs are also helpful in this regard.
The number of credits that a student earns during his/her studies and must achieve in order to graduate in the required composition is governed by Decree 614/2002 on the credit-based learning system, as is the determination of the student's workload according to Article 60 of Law 131/2002 and the recommendations of the ECTS Users' Guide.
The standard length of the study programme is three years.
The study programme is designed in such a way that, in accordance with the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, it leads the student to comply with the standard length of study. It has a specified workload in total ECTS credits and for each subject separately, which is expressed in ECTS credits, the number of hours of contact teaching and the number of hours of the total workload of the subject. In order to properly complete the study programme, a student must obtain 180 ECTS credits, whereby the standard workload of a student during an academic year is considered to be the performance of activities corresponding to 60 credits (45 credits in external study).
The Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University (Annex No. 1 to Internal Regulation No. 1/2020 approved by the Academic Senate of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University and the Academic Senate of Comenius University) precisely defines the control stages of study and the minimum number of credits that a student must achieve at the end of each of them.
The study consists of three parts:
1. the study part (lectures, seminars and independent study),
2. the scientific part (research activities); and
3. the pedagogical part (teaching and related activities).
The doctoral student's performance in each of these activities shall be assessed by a predetermined number of credits and, for the completion of lectures and seminars, also by expression in an assessment scale.
Credit requirements for doctoral studies:
- In order to be awarded the academic degree of PhD, a doctoral student must obtain the following number of credits:
four-year full-time programme - 180 credits
- The standard workload of a doctoral student in the external form of study during an academic year is considered to be the performance of activities corresponding to 45 credits in a four-year study programme.
- A doctoral student in the part-time form of study must obtain for:
1. year min. 30 cr.
2. year min. 30 cr.
3. year min. 30 cr.
1.-4. 150 cr. (without thesis defence)
- Of these, at least 40 credits must be obtained for the completion of courses (lectures or seminars) offered by the faculty to doctoral students and at least 60 credits for publication and scientific activity and artistic activity and for the completion of the dissertation part defined in the individual study plan.
- Registration for the dissertation examination:
A doctoral candidate may apply for the dissertation examination once he/she has obtained a minimum of 60 credits, including 40 credits of study.

The composition of the didactics of history curriculum allows for sufficient internal flexibility (variation of study paths also according to the student's interest and abilities/capacity/workload) in both compulsory and optional courses, which allows the student to focus on his/her areas of interest (especially in compulsory and optional courses), as well as the possibility of choosing courses within the offer of the whole faculty and the university.
The structure of the courses primarily reflects the graduate's profile and the objectives and learning outcomes.
The study consists of three parts:
1. the study part (lectures, seminars and independent study),
2. the scientific part (scientific research activities);
3. the pedagogical part (teaching and related activities).
Detailed information on the curriculum is given below and in a separate annex to the study programme Didactics of History.
Lectures, seminars, tutorials, practicals are represented in the curriculum, which create space for discussion and a more personalised approach to the student.
Teachers are also available to students during tutorial sessions, which are used for individual consultation and discussion of issues related to the course content according to the student's needs and interest.
The main learning outcomes are defined in the description of the programme of study in line with the description of the field of study. Their achievement is verified both in individual courses and by a dissertation examination.
The sub-objectives and learning outcomes are defined in the information sheets of the individual courses, and the objectives and learning outcomes are summarily verified during the dissertation examination.
Courses are evaluated for each subject separately, in the form of continuous assessment of student work during the semester through a variety of activities (seminar papers, assignments, papers, presentations, colloquia, discussions, creative activities, active participation in seminars, etc.), respecting the diversity of the subject focus and the diversity of students, or through a combination of continuous assessment and final examination. The levels of assessment are clearly specified in the information sheet of each course. The rules for the verification of learning outcomes and student assessment and the possibilities of corrective procedures against this assessment are regulated by Internal Regulation No. 1/2020 of the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University.
In the Didactics of History study programme, teachers mainly use the colloquium method, where questions and answers of potential research are formulated, both domestic and foreign literature is reflected upon, questions are raised on current trends in the theory and methodology of history teaching and the requirements of curricular changes and the penetration of European didactics, and analyses of foreign study programmes of history didactics are approached.
The combined method of teaching, which is characterised by teaching with direct contact between the teacher and the student as well as communication through communication means, allows flexibility and adaptation to the individual activities and materials in the subject, accelerates and dynamises the study, while allowing in certain cases better accessibility of materials for students and more effective communication between the student and the teacher.
The curriculum is characterised by an inclusive teaching and learning environment in which all learners have equal opportunities to learn and to use their individual abilities, exploiting their educational potential.
The appropriateness and effectiveness of the rules, forms and methods of teaching, learning and assessment of learning outcomes are monitored, evaluated and improved through regular student surveys, ongoing discussion between teachers and students and discussion between teachers.
Students' comments on the curriculum are recorded internally on an ongoing basis for the purpose of improving the quality of the teaching provided as well as for use in the design of curriculum innovations.
If a student with specific needs applies for the Didactics of History programme, there are firm rules and processes in place, from the selection of the programme of study, through the admissions procedure, to entry to the programme, to the study itself, and to graduation. The Rector's Directive No. 23/2014 on the provision of a generally accessible academic environment for students with specific needs serves this purpose.
There are three coordinators for working with students with specific needs and a senior faculty coordinator who ensure communication not only with the applicant/student himself/herself, but also with the heads of the relevant departments, with supervisors and with other lecturers about procedures, approaches and measures containing the needs of students with specific needs. The Centre for Assistance to Students with Special Needs, located in the Rector's Office of the University, provides services to students with special needs in all faculties of the University.
A study officer at the Department for Science and Research is available to students in matters of study, who is appointed by the Dean for each study programme in accordance with Internal Regulation No.23/2021 Internal Quality Assurance System of Higher Education at Comenius University in Bratislava and Internal Regulation No. 1/2020 Study Regulations.

The study programme is characterised by a high degree of intrinsic flexibility (described in the Description of the study programme in point 4.1.), which is made possible by the dispersion of course offerings over several semesters that is indicated in the study plan. The ratio of compulsory and optional courses and the wide range of courses on offer allow students to tailor their study path according to their individual needs and interests.
At the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, in addition to studying a selected study programme, students have the opportunity to study part of their study programme abroad within the framework of several mobility programmes.
Specific mobility opportunities for students of the didactics of history study programme on the basis of valid agreements with partner institutions within the framework of European mobility programmes and the international inter-university network are given in point 8.8. and in the Description of the study programme, point 8 f. The learning outcomes obtained at the foreign partner institution are recognised by the university (Description of the study programme).
At the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, the transfer of credits is regulated in the internal regulation No.1/2020 Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, in Article 19.
Art. 19 Transfer of credits for academic mobility
(1) Transfer of credits is the process of counting credits obtained during a part of studies at another higher education institution in the Slovak Republic or at a university abroad (hereinafter referred to as "academic mobility") in the number of credits counted by the student according to § 4 (3) of the Decree on the credit system of studies. The basic elements of the transfer of credits are regulated by the Decree on the credit system of studies - § 7 of the Decree on the credit system of studies and other regulations, for example Internal Regulation No. 3/2016 Directive of the Rector of Comenius University on the scope of Comenius University and its faculties within the framework of the European Community Erasmus+ programme.
(2) The rules and conditions for sending students on academic mobility are regulated by specific internal regulations of the University and the terms and conditions of the academic mobility programmes.
(3) Academic mobility is formally conditioned by a study contract. The study contract shall contain in particular the proposed study plan at the receiving university and the recognition of the corresponding part of the studies at the sending faculty. The study contract and any amendments thereto shall be signed by the Dean or the Vice-Dean authorised by him/her, after prior written approval by the programme guarantor. The courses to be taken by the student at the receiving higher education institution on the basis of the study contract shall become part of the student's study plan.
(4) If a course taken at the receiving university has a non-integer number of credits, the number of credits earned shall be mathematically rounded to a natural number when transferring credits.
(5) A course taken at the receiving college that is comparable in content and scope to a course taken at the sending college and taken by the student as part of an approved academic mobility:
(a) shall be automatically recognised as taken in place of the relevant compulsory course, compulsory optional course or optional course from the programme of study to which the student has been admitted, if it has been specified in the study contract in the section governing the recognition of the corresponding part of the study at the sending faculty,
(b) may be recognised by the dean, on the basis of a written request by the student and after the opinion of the programme guarantor, as taken in place of the relevant compulsory course or compulsory optional course from the study programme to which the student has been admitted, if the conditions of (a) are not met.
(6) A course whose completion has been recognised under paragraph (5) shall be indicated in the diploma supplement with zero credits and a note that its completion has been replaced by the completion of the course at the receiving higher education institution within the framework of academic mobility. The number of credits obtained for the course taken at the receiving university is given by the number of credits indicated in the transcript of results of studies; the assessment of the course taken at the receiving university is converted into the grading scale used by the Faculty of Education of Comenius University pursuant to Article 6(3) of the Decree on the credit system of studies.
(7) Unless the terms and conditions of the relevant academic mobility programme, the study agreement or paragraph 5 provide otherwise, the faculty recognises the courses taken at the receiving higher education institution within the framework of academic mobility as optional courses for the student.

In addition to general pedagogical methods and didactic procedures, teachers in the didactics of history study programme use a variety of methods appropriate to the nature of the course in order to achieve the objectives and outcomes of education.
These are specifically described in the information sheets of the individual courses.
Teachers strive to use methods that encourage students to be creative and flexible, that make the learning content more engaging and appropriately communicated, and that motivate the student to explore, think and find solutions.
Educators in this study programme use the following stimulating methods: lecture, discussion of the discussed topic; situation analysis method, e-learning, heuristic method, monological and dialogical methods, problem solving tasks, fixation of lectured information by means of continuous test (after 7 topics), E-U-R (evocation-recognition-reflection), analysis of texts, iconic texts and educational materials, explanation, Swot analysis, use of feedback to verify the functionality of the form of transmitted information, briefing, brainstorming, creation of mind maps and other construction projects, experiential methods, small group work, walking, role-playing method, structured staging, project method, teaching Latin grammar, translation of Latin texts and historical sources, working with editions, application of theoretical knowledge to practical examples, intermediate outputs in the form of presentations and simulation procedures for solving model situations.
In the study programme Didactics of History, teachers mainly use the colloquium method, at which questions of potential research are formulated, both domestic and foreign literature is reflected upon, questions are raised on current trends in the theory and methodology of history teaching, and analyses of foreign study programmes of history didactics are approached.
Doctoral students at the Department of History can lead or help to lead seminars, undergraduate theses, participate in the preparation of Student Scientific, Professional and Artistic Activities, in the preparation of scientific events for the department, can be principal investigators of grants for doctoral students or co-investigators of research tasks solved at the Department of History. They are also involved in publications that are close in their focus to the dissertation project. They have the opportunity to publish in the department's online scientific journal Verbum historiae.

Within the framework of doctoral studies, specific study questions or possible problems are solved with the doctoral student primarily by his/her supervisor, with whom he/she is in daily contact in person or via e-mail communication.
PhD students communicate with their supervisors on a daily basis as they jointly work on research projects and participate in the teaching of several courses. The supervisor reinforces the PhD student's autonomy in all of the above areas.
Students can contact the supervisor in person, by phone, email, video call via MS Teams or other pre-arranged means. The contact details of the supervisors as well as the consultation schedule are listed on the department's website and the students are also familiar with them at the first contact meeting on the day of enrolment. The consultation schedule is updated at the beginning of each semester.
Support is also offered by the officers of the Science and Research Department as well as the International Department. Other departments of the faculty (internal administration, social department, etc.) are also indirectly involved in the quality of studies.
The coordinators for work with students with specific needs, who are appointed by the dean of the faculty and who are involved in the preparation and implementation of appropriate adjustments and support services for students with specific needs, as well as in communication with the heads of departments and individual lecturers on possible educational strategies and the selection of appropriate educational methods, have a special position in the student support service. More difficult cases of students with specific needs have a designated mentoring educator who guides the student through each step of the learning process and together they manage the effectiveness of the student's learning.
At the Faculty of Education of Comenius University we currently have three coordinators (including the main faculty coordinator) who focus on several types of specific needs of applicants and students - a coordinator for students with visual impairments, a coordinator for students with hearing impairments, a coordinator for students with physical disabilities, illness and medical impairments, who also deals with students with specific learning disabilities. The coordinators also consult with other professionals and the Student Assistance Center as needed to address other specific needs, e.g., autism spectrum disorders, psychiatric disorders, etc.
The Department of Special Education has established a Centre for Assistance to Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). It acts as a model workplace for students with special needs applying to study at the university and also as a contact point for communication with educators from other universities working in the field of counselling support for students with special educational needs. It is equipped with special aids to make education more effective and accessible to all categories of students with SEN, as well as to intact students. The management of the faculty strives to debarrierise the academic environment every year and to implement such support services and appropriate measures (wheelchair-accessible entrances to buildings, wheelchair-accessible toilets, common areas and classrooms) that lead to the improvement and accessibility of the education of students with special needs. Further solutions for barrier-free access to other buildings and classrooms for students with disabilities (elevator, access ramps, safety handholds, etc.) are continuously being developed.
The University-wide Student Assistance Centre for Students with Specific Needs, located in the Rector's Office of the University, is accessible to students with specific needs.
Psychologists are also available at the faculty and also one of the services is the provision of career counselling to students.
Last but not least, among the basic support for all students is provided by the Study Department and individual clerks, who also have in their agenda communication with students of specifically assigned study programmes, divided according to the form of study into full-time and part-time (a separate clerk for each form of study). There are also clerks for the Science and Research Department as well as clerks for the International Department. Other departments of the faculty are also indirectly involved in the quality of studies (internal administration, social department, etc.).
The student section of the Academic Senate of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University is also used for communication of students' issues in the self-governing bodies of the Faculty.

Directive of the Dean of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University No. 2/2013 Study Counsellor at the Faculty of Education of Comenius University
Comenius University has formalized procedures regulating the observance of academic and professional ethics - the Code of Ethics of Comenius University, which is part of the Internal Regulation No. 23/2021 Internal Quality Assurance System of Higher Education Institutions of Comenius University in Part Eight: CODE OF ETHICS AND RULES OF CREATIVE ACTIVITY of Comenius University. In addition to its scope, the Code of Ethics includes general ethical principles (Article 68), ethical principles for academic officials and management and senior staff (Article 69), ethical principles in educational activities (Section Two), ethical principles in scientific and research activities (Section Three), basic principles of creative activity and good scientific practice (Article 73), and the Code of Ethics of Comenius University, ethical responsibility of researchers (Art.74), breach of academic integrity in publishing the results of creative activity and academic fraud (Art.76), ethical principles in grant applications (Art.77), ethical principles in assessment, refereeing and other evaluation activities (Art.78). The fourth section describes the application of the Code of Ethics, faculty codes of ethics, hearing violations of the Code of Ethics, reporting violations, assessment of violations, and actions in case of violations of ethical rules.
The Faculty of Education of Comenius University has disciplinary regulations and a Disciplinary Committee of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University for students composed of three staff members and three students. The Commission is ready to consider and resolve possible offences or breaches of ethical standards related to studies and to resolve possible disputable situations.
Comenius University pays great attention to strengthening the intrinsic motivation of students in their knowledge and personal growth and to supporting their creative abilities and sense of competitiveness. It promotes intrinsic motivation and competitiveness by organising the annual Student Scientific and Artistic Activity Competition, which is administered by the Department for Science and Doctoral Studies of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University. Each department has designated coordinators of the Student Research Competition, whose task is to promote students' motivation and participate in the organization of departmental, sectional and faculty-wide rounds of the competition. Students who successfully passed in the sectional rounds receive a commendation and a certificate of participation in the Student Science and Art Activity, students who took the top three places in the faculty round receive a financial reward in addition to the certificate.
When evaluating the quality of the works of the Student Scientific and Artistic Activity Competition, the committee takes into account the creativity, originality of the work, as well as compliance with the principles of ethics in the creation of a professional text or a work of art.
Teachers working in the didactics of history study programme strengthen the intrinsic motivation of students by giving them the opportunity to choose topics of their own interest in several subjects. The teacher applies a dialogical approach, encouraging discussion among students and with each other. Students create scientific texts while being guided by the teacher who leads them. They discuss the topics they are working on with each other. They use student seminars, the Department of History's web portal, and the History for the 21st Century section: https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/sucasti/katedry/katedra-historie/dejepis-pre-21-storocie/ to present their creative assignments. The pedagogue allows them to publish professional texts in the departmental journal Verbum historiae or in other journals such as Historický zborník, Slovensko, Sborník prací Pedagogické fakulty Masarykovy Univerzity, řada společenských věd. Students are given the task of developing projects on various topics in seminars, which they present and discuss together under expert pedagogical guidance. Teachers of the Department of History involve students in research activities and in their projects. They involve them in the preparation of scientific events with the possibility of presenting the results of their own research activities. When marking research papers as well as continuous assignments, students are encouraged to adhere to standards of ethical citation and originality.

Students and lecturers of Comenius University honored by the Rector on the occasion of the International Student Day 2021
The Didactics of History study programme has published rules and criteria for assessment, recording and documenting assessment methods.
The specific criteria are given in the individual course information sheets, which are regularly updated by the teachers and specified in the syllabuses.
The archiving of all data from the course information sheets is kept in the AIS2 system, as well as in the relevant support departments of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, e.g. the Study Department, the Department for Science and Doctoral Studies, in individual departments in print or electronic form.
The archiving of documents of this type is governed, to the extent appropriate, by Internal Regulation No. 1/2006 of the Rector of Comenius University, the Registration Regulations and the Registration Plan.
The rules and criteria for the evaluation of students' learning outcomes are an integral part of the internal quality system at Comenius University. The evaluation of students is treated in the Internal Regulation No. 23/2021 Internal Quality Assurance System of Higher Education at Comenius University in Bratislava. This regulation specifies the objectives of education, rules and conditions of evaluation, and also specifies the role of persons responsible for the study programme in the evaluation of students.
The composition of the examination committees for the dissertation examination (for the defence of final theses) enables the organisational and qualification structure to set up an examination committee for the dissertation examination in the third cycle and in a given form of study.
The members of the examination committee are not only from the Faculty of Education, but also from cooperating institutions, experts who represent the external employer environment, or university lecturers from other universities (including foreign ones).
The members of the Examination Board are approved by the Scientific Council of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University in Bratislava and the principle of commission examination is applied at the state examinations, which results in a consensus evaluation.
The University applies the rules of board examinations and the formation of examination boards in specified parts of the study programme.
Students of the third cycle of the study programme Didactics of History are evaluated during their studies in individual subjects and components of the programme in several ways: continuous evaluation, final evaluation, examination, while the conditions of evaluation are set in such a way as not to allow the graduation of a student who has not acquired the knowledge and competences at the required level of a given discipline in the course of the educational process.
The evaluation of study results is also regulated by the Internal Regulation No. 1/2020 Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University. In matters of evaluation of learning outcomes within the study of a subject, the teacher decides; in disputable issues, a committee appointed by the Dean of the Faculty decides. The evaluation of learning outcomes is regulated by the decree on the credit system of study. The evaluation of a student's learning outcomes in the course of studying a subject is carried out mainly by continuous checking of learning outcomes during the teaching part of a given period of study (control questions, written tests, assignments for independent work, term papers, a report at a seminar, etc.) or by an examination for a given period of study. The conditions for passing the course and the specifics of the assessment are always specified in the course information sheet.
At the beginning of the teaching part of the semester, the lecturer shall publish in writing on the faculty's website or in other ways deemed customary by the faculty the extent of compulsory participation in the learning activities of which the course is implemented; the specifics of the method of assessment of learning outcomes; the dates of continuous assessment; whether or not the student is entitled to remedial or alternative opportunities to meet the conditions of continuous assessment; whether the achievement of the prescribed level of continuous assessment or the prescribed extent of compulsory attendance at learning activities is a condition for taking the examination.
Where more than one teacher is involved in the teaching of the course or where the course is taught in more than one programme of study, the conditions shall be published by mutual agreement between the teachers; the published conditions must be identical in content.
Courses that have been enrolled in and not completed by the student are graded FX at the end of the relevant examination period.
The archiving of all assessment results in the Study Regulations is ensured by storing them in the AIS2 system, as well as in the relevant departments of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, namely in the Study Department and in the relevant department that staffs the study programme.
Details on the evaluation and registration of study results, the scope of the Study Department, the scope of the department, the position and role of the teacher, as well as the student's obligations are laid down in the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University (Internal Regulation No. 1/2020).

Assessment sheets for individual courses archived at the department (available on site)
As in the previous point, the assessment methods and criteria for both individual courses and state examination courses are generally known to students in advance and are published on a number of platforms. For example, in the Internal Regulation No. 1/2020 Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, as well as in the information sheets of specific courses, which are permanently available to students in the AIS2 system. The methods and methods of assessment are also standardly indicated in the syllabi of individual courses, which are published/sent to students in specific semesters of study by the respective lecturers.
In tutorial meetings, the study advisors answer students' questions and explain several processes and procedures to them in order to achieve better learning outcomes.
The students of the final year have a compulsory tutorial meeting in the first week of the last semester of their studies where they are informed in detail about the date, venue, process, rules, boards and other details of the state examinations. This information is also sent to the students in the form of mail and is also published on the department's website.
Students have the opportunity to comment on the methods and criteria of evaluation each year after the end of the semester in a student survey, where the questions focus on transparency and fairness of evaluation and fair procedure.
The method and criteria of evaluation and their publication are part of the internal quality system of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University.
The Didactics of History study programme follows the rules of adequate approach to the verification of the achieved learning outcomes and the assessment of results in accordance with the valid Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, which are applied to the existing study programmes.
The conditions of course completion, specifically the form of assessment of the learning outcomes of the course, as well as the criteria for awarding credits and grades, are known in advance and available to students in the course information sheets in the AIS2 system in accordance with Art. 11 of the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University. Assessment is carried out mainly by: continuous checking of study results during the teaching part of the study period (control questions, written tests, independent work assignments, term papers, seminar report, etc.) or by examination for the given period.
Detailed information on the form, scope and criteria for the verification of learning outcomes is communicated to students via the course syllabus, which students receive in the first class and to their faculty email address during the first week of class.
The syllabus contains information published by the lecturers at the beginning of the teaching part of the semester in accordance with the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, Article 11:
(a) the extent of compulsory participation in the educational activities of which the course,
b) specification of the method of evaluation of learning outcomes,
c) the dates of continuous assessment,
d) information on whether or not the student is entitled to remedial or alternative options for meeting the requirements of the continuous assessment,
(e) whether the achievement of the prescribed level of continuous assessment or the prescribed level of compulsory attendance is a condition for taking the examination;
(f) whether the student is required to achieve the prescribed level of continuous assessment or the prescribed level of compulsory attendance learning activities.
Dates for the verification of learning outcomes shall be communicated to students no later than when they enter the course and, in the case of examinations, shall be published and available on the AIS2 no later than three weeks before the start of the examination period in accordance with the approved timetable for the academic year. Lecturers shall announce at least three examination dates with a view to spreading them evenly over the examination period of the semester. The capacity and organisation of examinations shall thus enable each student to have access to at least two regular examination dates at a time, place and under conditions suitable for the demonstration of the required knowledge, skills or competences.

The Faculty of Education, as well as the entire Comenius University, has a systematic and long-standing tradition of supporting the accessibility of higher education for students with disabilities/special needs. The conditions of study for students with specific needs at Comenius University are regulated by the Rector's Directive on ensuring a generally accessible academic environment for students with specific needs (Internal Regulation No. 23/2014) and also by Internal Regulation No. 23/2021 Internal Quality Assurance System for Higher Education at Comenius University in Bratislava.
The Centre for Support for Students with Specific Needs (CSSSN) has been operating at Comenius University since 1993, and each faculty has a coordinator for students with specific needs. In cooperation with the faculty coordinators, the CSSSN identifies students with specific needs, proposes forms of assistance and the scope of adjustments for them, assists in their implementation, technically provides support services depending on the nature of individual specific needs, monitors the conditions of education, identifies possible barriers and initiates their removal.
In addition to information and counselling activities, the main emphasis is on academic assistance and educational activities, which, especially in the current crisis period, appear to be particularly important in order to strengthen the ability to fulfil the study obligations of both medically and socially disadvantaged students.
The Directive provides detailed information on the conditions for making the academic environment accessible, defines the procedure for exercising rights to support, and draws attention to the responsibilities of all the actors involved (University, faculties, coordinators, applicants, students).
The specific needs of applicants and students are monitored from their first contact with Comenius University. Attention is paid in particular to the selection of an appropriate study programme so that the consequences of a severe disability/disorder are not a contraindication to studying or pursuing a profession. In relation to applicants with specific needs, the CSSSN promotes and applies best practice - very early communication with prospective students, intensive counselling, arranging meetings with competent persons at the relevant faculty (coordinator, study programme guarantor, authorised representative of the department, or departmental study advisor, study vice-dean), organising visits to faculties, halls of residence, meetings with older students with specific needs.
Applicants will be given detailed instructions on how to apply for studies and informing the faculty of their specific needs.
In the case of entrance examinations, applicants with specific needs have their conditions adjusted (e.g., time allotment, examination format, technical and humane support).
In the case of meeting the conditions for admission without entrance examinations, applicants are advised of their responsibility to inform the school of their specific needs and entitlements well in advance in order to apply for adjustments and support services.
Upon admission, based on the application for registration and documented evidence, a student with specific needs is granted support services and reasonable adjustments for study and examinations, which are communicated to teachers by the student or the Faculty Coordinator.
Depending on the type and extent of the needs, the student may be able to count on greater time flexibility in fulfilling his/her study obligations, to benefit from support services, reasonable adjustments and academic assistance. The design of adjustments and support services is provided by the CSSSN (in cooperation with coordinators, specialists in the group of disadvantages, or guarantors of studies).
For many years, the Centre for Support for Students with Specific Needs (CSSSN) has organized camps for high school students/candidates for study with severe disabilities, which include training and instructional activities focused on promoting computer literacy, the importance of early and skilled orientation to assistive technologies, and securing them for personal use well in advance.
Preparatory activities are also being undertaken by the CSSSN with a view to new forms of training and are planned to be expanded. At the same time, it is preparing a mentoring support programme for students with specific needs, which could help a wider range of students (not only) with disabilities.
The CSSSN communicates extensively with the coordinators for students with specific needs as part of the guidance and support for students with specific needs.
The Faculty of Education at Comenius University currently has up to three coordinators for students with specific needs, who create an academically accessible environment and provide support for 35 students with specific needs in this academic year 2021/2022. The coordinators, who are erudite university special education teachers, focus mainly on students with visual, hearing and physical disabilities, as well as students with illness, learning disabilities, learning disabilities and autism.

The admission interview takes place in front of an expert committee, which is set up by the chairman of the joint disciplinary committee. Applicants must pass an examination in world language, didactics of history and history and defend the project. Each part of the examination is marked with points. The members of the committee jointly decide on the ranking of the candidates, with the best candidate being recommended to the Dean for admission. The admission procedure is carried out in accordance with the Higher Education Act No. 131/2002 Coll., the Decree on Doctoral Studies No. 131/1997 Coll. and the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University.
The Faculty of Education, in cooperation with Comenius University in Bratislava, awards each student who successfully completes studies in one of the forms of study by passing the state exam(s) with a university diploma, a certificate of the state exam (a document on the state exam, its components and its result), or a supplement to the diploma, which contains details of the completed study programme. The University shall also provide the diploma and its components in a foreign language to the graduate at his/her request. Certificates of graduation shall be issued within 45 days of the regular completion of studies.
Successful completion of the didactics of history study programme is confirmed by the university by the award of an academic degree in addition to the diploma and other documents.

https://uniba.sk/fileadmin/ruk/legislativa/2021/Vp_2021_23.pdf
Research integrity, prevention and solution of plagiarism and other academic fraud is ensured in the didactics of history study programme by standard and faculty-available anti-plagiarism systems, in particular the system anchored in AIS2 and also Theses.cz. The originality of the submitted work is usually verified by at least two independent anti-plagiarism systems.
These are mainly applied in the production of final theses, where strict criteria for the output of creative work apply. Each final thesis is compulsorily evaluated by these two systems in the assessment process. The degree of agreement is interpreted in both the supervisor's and the referee's judgement. The supervisor of the thesis makes an opinion on the result of the originality check in the respective assessment, regardless of the value of the conformity achieved by the originality check.
The supervisor shall always comment on the originality check in his/her opinion, i.e. even in the case of a 0 % compliance, in the case of a compliance of more than 10 % the supervisor shall add an explanatory statement, and in the case of a compliance of 30 % or more the supervisor is obliged to give proper reasons for accepting/not accepting the compliance.
The referee shall comment on the percentage of compliance in the report for compliance of 30 % or more.
In the event that any originality result shows a concordance of 30 % or more, in addition to the justifications of the trainer and the opponent, the relevant State Examination Board shall also discuss this situation and the result of the consensus shall also be included in the State Examination report in the form of a proper justification.
In case of violation of research integrity, fraud, violation of the Code of Ethics, which is a part of the Internal Regulation No. 23/2021 and other unfavourable phenomena, the HEI applies the procedures anchored e.g. in the Disciplinary Regulations or directly in the Regulation No. 23/2021, or in the Rules of Procedure of the Ethics Council of Comenius University, etc.
At the level of Comenius University, it is possible to process a second-stage resolution of violations of research integrity.

Similarly, Rector's Measure No. 5/2002 on the implementation of the Law on Free Access to Information is in force for obtaining selected information and verifying factual data.
The University has established the Ethics Council of Comenius University, which is an advisory body to the Rector. The competence of the Ethics Council is to consider and discuss complaints from members of the academic community and employees of Comenius University concerning violations of the Code of Ethics of Comenius University. Its activities are regulated by the Rules of Procedure of the Ethics Council of Comenius University.
The Faculty of Education of Comenius University has a system of contact from the nearest to the farthest (also kept in minutes). An employee or a student who wishes to file a complaint primarily contacts the academic advisor or the Head of the Department. In the case of a grievance/complaint procedure, the grievance/complaint is delivered to the appropriate Vice Dean and, if necessary, directly to the Dean.

The University also has an Internal Control and Internal Audit Unit.
The Didactics of History study programme has a designated person in charge, prof. Róbert Letz, PhD, who registers students' suggestions and is responsible for their resolution. Each suggestion is examined and adequately addressed in terms of established procedures and moral and ethical principles. Within the framework of respecting the applicable legislation and the internal regulations of the University and the Faculty, the review of suggestions is transparent and takes place with the participation of student representatives. In accordance with the regulations in force, feedback is provided to the complainants on the results of the review of the complaints and on the actions taken. For the complaints received, the validity of the complaints is examined and adequate measures are taken to protect the rights of students in the study programme and to remedy deficiencies in the University's action or inaction.

The University issues documents of education in accordance with the legislation in force on the basis of the models valid for the Slovak Republic. These include in particular diploma, diploma supplement, state examination certificate; multilingual if necessary.
Teachers in the Didactics of History study programme are qualified experts in their field of study and eruditely and continuously ensure the transfer of quality knowledge, experience, skills, competences, as well as personal characteristics and ethical principles. Erudition is manifested not only in pedagogical activities, but also in the creative activities of teachers. According to Act 131/2002, each teacher undergoes a selection procedure to ensure that the professional meets the requirements for the post in the programme of study and for the programme(s) of study. The University supports its teaching staff to develop their qualifications, either through educational activities and events organised for this purpose (trainings, seminars, courses, departmental staff meetings, etc.) or by supporting its staff to participate in activities organised by other institutions in Slovakia or abroad (conferences, professional seminars, internships, teacher mobility, etc.).
Teachers working in a given study programme are eligible to teach on the basis of their publications and other creative activities, pedagogical skills, competences and language skills. The qualifications of the teachers are sufficient to engage them in multiple levels of education.
In the Didactics of History, the third cycle, the number of teachers is adequate, and the staffing capacity corresponds to the expected number of students and the staffing requirements of the educational activities.
Profile courses are taught by associate professors and professors who are experts in a given field of knowledge (in the field of study or with an overlap into another field), with the results of their creative activities corresponding to the given level of study (outputs of creative activity - OCA). Throughout the study programme, lectures are generally given by associate professors and professors; seminars and trainings are given by assistants in addition to associate professors and professors.
The professional qualifications of the teachers providing the third cycle curriculum are at least one level higher than the qualifications attained on completion of the third cycle curriculum.
A valuable contribution is the involvement of external teachers - experts from the external environment or from school practice in the training of future teachers.
Teachers are continuously engaged in creative and research activities, as well as other professional activities and activities, and are active in various trade union and professional organisations in Slovakia and abroad according to their specialisation, in editorial boards of domestic and foreign journals, committees, etc.
Within the framework of scientific research activities, the persons responsible for the Didactics of History study programme, together with other members of the department providing the study programme, are currently engaged in the following projects (brief characteristics of the projects and the members of the research team are also mentioned in Research/art/teacher profile of a person point VI. 5):

Internal Regulation No. 23/2021 Internal Quality Assurance System for Higher Education at Comenius University in Bratislava
https://uniba.sk/fileadmin/ruk/legislativa/2021/Vp_2021_23.pdf
Persons who supervise theses are governed by Internal Regulation No. 23/2021 Internal Quality Assurance System of Higher Education at Comenius University in Bratislava, specifically Part Five - Approval of thesis supervisors, Articles 49-53.
Also, thesis supervisors are governed by the Rector's Directive on the basic requirements of theses, rigorous theses, habilitation theses and control of their originality (Internal Regulation No. 7/2018). This Internal Regulation is updated from time to time as necessary (in particular to align it with the legislation in force). The Internal Regulation specifies the process of conducting the thesis by the respective supervisor and its requirements.
Persons who normally supervise theses and who meet the accreditation standards write out proposals for thesis topics in due time, which are published by the Department of History via the Academic Information System (AIS) in the timeframe set by the timetable of the relevant academic year, and also on the web pages of the relevant department. The proposed topics are approved by the person responsible for the study programme and the head of the training department or the person authorised by him/her is responsible for their publication. The student chooses the topic of the thesis and prepares the Thesis Assignment Form in agreement with the supervisor. The assignment must be approved by the thesis supervisor and the head of the department. The thesis supervisor assists the student throughout the process of developing the thesis and preparing the defense and approves the final version of the thesis. The student may submit the thesis only after it has been approved by the thesis advisor. The approval of the thesis, which also approves the method of its publication, is done by the signature of the thesis supervisor on the Thesis Assignment Form.
Assistance to the student in the preparation of the thesis is provided by the thesis supervisor or the supervisor through consultations, which serve primarily for:
formulating the intention and specifying the problem the student wishes to solve,
discussing the level at which the problem is to be addressed so that it corresponds to the appropriate level of the Slovak Qualifications Framework,

In the Didactics of History study programme the staff composition is 5 teachers, prof. PhDr. Róbert Letz, PhD., doc. PhDr. Miroslav Kamenický, CSc., doc. Mgr. Pavol Matula, PhD., doc. Mgr. Jaroslav Nemeš, PhD., Mgr. Miriam Viršinská, PhD., who can lead the final thesis, their focus-areas of interest, what they do in their creative activities and whether the topics of the final work are related to the topics they publish, present and teach. All lecturers who can supervise final theses list problem assignments related to their research areas in which they are actively publishing and are principal investigators or co-investigators of grant tasks. The areas of assignments are listed in point 4(h) of the description of the study programme. The topics to be covered are in accordance with the Slovak Qualification Framework and National Qualification System.
The topics are focused on the didactic and descriptive aspect of Slovak and general history. The theses address the issue of more innovative and effective transfer of historical knowledge, especially of recent history, into school practice.
The staff composition of the study programme allows us to offer a sufficient number of topics and to pay individual attention to the students when preparing the final thesis, thus respecting the pace of their work, perceiving the student's way of thinking and guiding him/her in professional procedures in a personalized way.
There are sufficient teachers in the study programme who are competent to guide, assess and subsequently oppose the final theses.
Final theses in the Didactics of History study programme are supervised by persons with the rank of associate professor, professor, who have professional training and many years of experience in conducting final theses. They link the proposed thesis topics to the issues they deal with in their scientific and project activities in the given field of study. They also propose the topics in collaboration with students, taking into account their individual interests, personal potential and motivation of the particular student (student-centred education), as well as current ongoing research projects, with the aim of involving students in the creative activities of the university, increasing students' motivation and participation in decision-making about their education.
Thesis topics are approved, published and assigned to students in accordance with the applicable regulations, in particular:
- Art. 4 Internal Regulation No. 7/2018 Directive of the Rector of Comenius University on the basic requirements of final theses, rigorous theses and habilitation theses, control of their originality, storage and accessibility at Comenius University in Bratislava

The publication documents the fact that since the Middle Ages students from Slovakia have been studying at foreign universities and colleges. This is not a speciality of the present, when, according to available statistical data, 14% of university students from Slovakia study abroad. Students from abroad have brought to Slovakia the latest European trends in thinking, economic management and culture in general. It is interesting to note that even after the establishment of universities in Slovakia, the number of students from Slovakia studying abroad has not decreased. This again corresponds with the current situation in Slovakia. In total, we were able to find about 6514 records in the registers of foreign universities and colleges about students from the territory of Slovakia. A number of Slovak students subsequently worked at foreign universities as university teachers. For example, in the first half of the 17th century, three prominent professors from Slovakia worked at the University of Prague. The first of these was Vavrinec Benedikt of Nedožier, a prominent humanist, linguist and mathematician. In 1611 and then in 1614 he was the vice-rector of Charles University, in 1612 the dean of the Faculty of Arts. Around 1580 another professor of Charles University, Peter Fradelius, was born in Banská Štiavnica. He worked at the University of Prague from 1610. He was a professor of logic, rhetoric and poetics. Later he was dean of the faculty and vice-rector of the university. The third was Daniel Basilius.

For almost a millennium, the territory of today's Slovakia was part of the Kingdom of Hungary. To this day, there are socio-economic moments that can still be used in international economic cooperation. It is precisely these moments that this university textbook highlights.

The study is written on the basis of newly discovered archival materials deposited in the State Central Mining Archive in Banská Štiavnica (now the Slovak National Archives, Department - Slovak Mining Archive) and in the Austrian State Archives, Archives of the Court Chamber in Vienna (Hofkammerarchiv Wien). The mining school in Banská Štiavnica, the first of its kind in Hungary, was founded on 29 July 1735 by Emperor Charles VI. On that day, Charles appointed the eminent cartographer and mathematician Samuel Mikovino as imperial surveyor of the Lower Hungarian mining towns and tutor of the mining prospectors. He was appointed to this position at his own request. In the summer of 1735 Mikovíni was already in Banská Štiavnica. At the beginning of November 1735 he started his teaching. He lectured in his own apartment, which he rented in the centre of Banská Štiavnica.

This monograph on the history of the oldest liturgical book in Slovakia, the Nitrian Codex, presents a completely new exploratory treatment of its past. New information is presented throughout the work. It was written during three study stays of the author at RWTH University Aachen and Kulturverein Aachen-Prag. It was written in collaboration with historians from Germany (Anton von Euw, Thomas Kraus, Georg Minkenberg, Harald Müller) and Italy (Pier Paolo Franzese). The book was presented to the public in Aachen (in Aachen). As a result of its publication, the author also gave a lecture for the citizens of Aachen, 80 of whom came. The publication also prompted the organisation of an exhibition on the coronation codes in the Schatzkammer. A copy of the codex was loaned from Nitra to Germany for this exhibition. The exhibition was organised by the Czech National Archives in Prague and the Cathedral Treasury in Aachen and opened by the local mayor Linden. The author of the book participated in its preparation on behalf of the Slovak side. The publication is the only one from Slovakia to be cited in the latest monograph of the city of Aachen, published by the director of the archives, Thomas Kraus. The work led to the successful promotion of Slovakia in Germany. The contents of the book were also presented during the main seven-year pilgrimage in Aachen in 2007 in the church in Burtscheid.

The publication on historical sources on the history of the oldest bishopric in Slovakia, in Nitra, was published after 106 years in 2007. The last such work was published by Canon Jozef Vagner in 1901. Our work is from 2007 and again it is the last one. From this point of view it is a groundbreaking work. It contains a series of 49 edited and annotated documents, treats the history of research on the Nitra bishopric, describes the state and composition of individual archival collections. The book was praised by the Vatican's chief archivist in his official letter. The publication has so far 24 citations and is frequently used by researchers. It was published in German. The work introduced Nitra and the Diocese of Nitra also to foreign researchers. The source edition is used by researchers or students when writing their scientific or qualification theses. The author uses the source texts in teaching medieval history, church history and the history of everyday life. Anyone dealing with the history of Nitra or the Diocese of Nitra must reach for the publication.

The work on barrels and food storage in them in the Middle Ages is the only one of its kind in Slovakia and Hungary. It was also presented at the Archaeologica Historica conference, which was attended by experts from five countries (Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Germany). So far, no other study on the history of barrel making in the Czech Republic and Hungary has been published, but similar works are not available in the Czech Republic and Austria either. As this historical craft (cooperage) is slowly disappearing, it is necessary to bring it at least closer to scholarly attention and scientific research. The storage of food in wooden barrels in the Middle Ages has not yet been studied. The study was cited by three Israeli scientists in the leading British archaeological journal, the Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology. It was based on research in archives and libraries in Budapest and Slovakia. It contains a wealth of new, previously unpublished information. It will be appreciated by those who deal with barrels, foodstuffs and coopering. It also brings new insights into the production of gunpowder in the Middle Ages.

This study discusses an important cultural monument, a 14th-century Hungarian cross now located in the German town of Andernach. The wooden cross is also related to the history of both Slovaks and Hungarians and their pilgrimages to Germany in the 14th to 18th centuries. No modern study of its history has been published so far, it has only been published from an artistic point of view. Our study is based on research in the archives in Koblenz (Landesarchiv) and Cologne (Stadtarchiv), also in the libraries there. It can be used by historians and art historians in Andernach, in the Rhineland, and by researchers in Slovakia and Hungary. The cross is very little known to the public, and it is proof of the positive international relations and cooperation between nations since the Middle Ages. Our work originated during a study stay at the University of Cologne. The study promotes Slovak and Hungarian cultural heritage abroad, in Germany. It is also used in the study of cultural history and church history. It is freely accessible on the Internet for everyone.

The monograph deals with the history of the Evangelical Church in Hungary between 1848 and 1895, with an emphasis on the legal articles that modified the status of the Evangelicals in the Hungarian state, focusing on the clarification of the most important problems of its internal political administration and structure. It specifies the national tensions and struggles on its soil, the assertion of Hungarian ecclesiastical and political elites at the expense of the mainly Slovak. It is the first comprehensive synthetic work on the history of the Evangelical Church in Hungary, which, on the basis of an examination of a wealth of contemporary journalistic as well as archival material, brings entirely new insights to the subject under study.

The third volume of the Slovak History series covers the period from 1780 to 1914. The authors offer a clear picture of the so-called long 19th century, at the beginning of which began the process of forming a modern Slovak nation under the conditions of the Habsburg monarchy, known in older historiography as the period of the Slovak National Revival. The publication provides an insight into the political, cultural, social and economic conditions in the Habsburg Monarchy, Hungary and Slovakia during this period. It is a century full of changes, bounded at the beginning by the Great French Revolution and at the end by the outbreak of the First World War, in which society oscillated between the statist and the civic principle, underwent modernisation in the economic and economic spheres, and Slovaks as a nation for the first time actively intervened in Central European affairs and claimed their rights. The publication is intended for the general public and is also suitable as a university textbook.

The result brings completely new knowledge about the life of J. M. Hurban as one of the most important representatives of the Slovak national movement in the second half of the 19th century. Despite the fact that several monographs, articles, and conferences have been devoted to his personality, this paper fills in the blank spaces about the life of J. M. Hurban in Slovak historiography by studying hitherto unknown sources, thus contributing to the expansion of knowledge about the events of the entire Slovak national movement in the second half of the 19th century in the context of the history of the vast multi-ethnic Habsburg monarchy.

Spatial provision of the study programme
The buildings of the Faculty of Education at Šoltésova 4 and Moskovská 3 are located in the centre of Bratislava, the building at Račianska 59 is located in the wider centre of the city with easy accessibility and equipped infrastructure.
The building at Šoltésova 4 is currently designed with 4 floors above ground and 1 underground. With a total floor area of 10 083 m2. The implementation of the reconstruction works and the superstructure will soon make it possible to use 991.69 m2 more floor area. The intention of these works is to expand the teaching and administrative areas of the building. As part of the debarring, 2 new lifts are being built. Currently, 50 classrooms, 9 of which are special or practice rooms, with a capacity of 1,164 persons, can be used in the building on an area of 1,612.5 m2. In the building there is a full-day catering for students - a cafeteria.
The building on Moskovska 3 has 4 floors above ground and 1 underground with a usable floor area of 1 264 m2. There are 7 classrooms in the building, including 1 special classroom, with a capacity of 146 people. The area of the classrooms is 187,9 m2. In the future, it is planned to complete an elevator to facilitate access to each floor.
The building at 59 Račianska Street, with 3 above-ground and one underground floor, has a usable floor area of 3 885 m2, with 10 classrooms - lecture rooms, including 2 special rooms and an auditorium, with a capacity of 672 persons, on an area of 926.1 m2. Currently, as part of the debarrierisation, building modifications and works are being carried out to convert the entrance to the building into a barrier-free one and to build a rest room for students with specific needs.
The study programme is implemented in building(s) which are mainly equipped with standard school furniture, aids and technology. As part of the debarring of the academic environment, selected classrooms are equipped with special height-adjustable desks with folding worktops and cut-out boards for students with specific needs, which provide personal adjustment for students with visual and physical disabilities.
Courses of the Didactics of History programme are provided by the teachers of the Department of History, which is located on Moskovska Street. The profile courses of the speech therapy study programme are taught in rooms in the building on Šoltésova Street (joint courses for doctoral students), or also on Moskovska Street (consultations, seminars, working meetings). In these classrooms there is standard technical equipment, a data projector and a laptop. However, the nature of doctoral studies implies that the dominant interaction between student and teachers (especially with the supervisor) takes place in their offices. These include personal consultations, research team meetings and departmental seminars.
Information resources
Availability of information resources is ensured through wireless connection in all buildings of the faculty and at the same time students have the opportunity to use terminals with modern software equipment, which are barrier-free accessible in the buildings at Šoltésova 4 and Račianska 59. Computing facilities are also accessible in the specialised computer rooms R-4 and R-12 at Račianska 59. The presentation of electronic documents is made possible by mobile and fixed projectors or interactive whiteboards in all classrooms and seminar rooms.
Several computer nests and study rooms with permanent high-speed Internet connection provided by the academic network are available for students on the premises of the faculty, giving students the possibility to access various online information resources. The faculty premises are covered by the WIFI signal of the international EDUROAM (EDUcation ROAMing) network operated by the University. Computer nests allow students to access internet resources free of charge even if they do not have their own IT facilities. Wifi coverage of the faculty premises provides students with free internet connectivity and the ability to access information resources on the internet even through their own IT devices.
At the same time they have unlimited access to external Comenius University resources:
Comenius University e-journal portal - possibility to find out the availability of e-journals for the Comenius University (in which databases and which issues of a given e-journal are accessible) (NISPEZ)
Summon Discovery Tool - search tool integrating searches in the Comenius University Online Catalogue and in electronic information resources accessible to the Comenius University e.g.:

The Faculty has its own academic library. The academic library is located in the building at Šoltésova 4 (total area of the library is 328 m2) and provides services to students, teaching and research staff. In addition to the absentee lending service, readers can also use the periodicals, professional and language literature, media library and the qualifying thesis room, together with 28 reading and study places and 4 computers with Internet access. Handicapped readers can use a television reading magnifier for the visually impaired and a special scanner for the blind. The Academic Library is a workplace for bibliographic registration of publications and artistic activities, participates in the development of 2 joint university-wide databases (VTLS/VIRTUA online catalogue, Evipub database) and the national database CREPČ 2. It has access to external information resources, which are listed on the AK website. It provides absentee and face-to-face lending services, bibliographic information and consultation services, and also mediates interlibrary and international interlibrary loan services. The library's holdings consist mainly of compulsory literature, and there are currently 106,671 library items (of which 31916 are theses and qualifying works). The library has 194 professional and scientific journals available to readers, and currently subscribes to 55 journal titles (12 of which are foreign).
The sub-library of the Department of History is an integral part of it. It is located directly on the premises of the Department at Moskovska 3 in the larger room 214 (approx. 40 m2). The publications of this sub-library are registered in the database of the faculty library. This library has over 2 200 volumes. These are mainly basic monographic literature used in teaching, encyclopaedic works and the main specialist periodicals. The library collection is continually replenished by the purchase of new literature, largely through grants from the department's staff, and by donations. The library is in charge of the department's designated staff member, doc. Pavol Matula. Students have the opportunity to study in the department's library on a full-time basis.
Two systems are available for distance learning: the Moodle system, which is operated by the University, and MS Teams, which is operated in the Microsoft cloud. Moodle is used primarily for asynchronous forms of distance learning, for the purpose of making learning material available (e.g. presentations and exercises) or for the collaborative creation of materials (e.g. group work, collaborative writing). It also includes tools for obtaining feedback on the subject, with the possibility of anonymous response. The MS Teams system also enables synchronous forms of distance learning, through online lectures and seminars.
The method of studying all/selected courses of the study programme is combined. This method allows the advantages of e-learning to be used also during ongoing face-to-face teaching. The sharing of study material and exercises via Moodle contributes to a large extent to a better organisation of work with students: all study materials and follow-up exercises or assignments are available in one place; students have unrestricted access to these materials and can work with them at their own pace, they can engage in discussions, group work and online feedback; the teacher can monitor students' activities and create interactive exercises that usually have a positive impact on their engagement and motivation, provide direct feedback on midterm and final exams by commenting on individual questions.
The combined method of study also contributes to the fact that in case of an emergency situation, all learning activities, including the assessment of courses, the holding of state examinations and the defence of final theses, can be flexibly transferred to the distance form, through the continuous use of Moodle for asynchronous forms of e-learning and interim or final assessments in the form of a test; and the use of the MS Teams system for the holding of lectures, seminars and assessment in the form of colloquial examinations.
Teachers of all courses of the study programme have attended several training courses focused on working with MS Teams, Moodle and e-learning; they have access to materials for distance learning support, which are developed by the Centre for Information Technologies of Comenius University (CIT) and are available on the website https://uniba.sk/elearning. All staff have access to technical support provided by the UK Centre for Information Technology Support (CEPIT) and the Information Technology Centre CIT of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University.

The professional support staff for doctoral studies is mainly at the Faculty Office for Science and Doctoral Studies. The staff at this department provide organisational, administrative, advisory and other services with regard to the course, organisation, objectives and outcomes for doctoral students in this study programme. They also assist doctoral students with project administration and advise them in their submission and implementation. In the field of international research mobility of doctoral students, this office works closely with the Office for International Relations. In the field of registration of doctoral students' publication activity, which is essential for successful completion of studies, this department cooperates with the relevant responsible staff of the Academic Library (consultation, inclusion in the relevant category of publication activity, communication with the student, registration in the EVIPUB and CREPČ systems, publication activity as part of the evaluation of scientific education). The responsibilities and competences of this unit are regulated in the Faculty organisational regulations.

The Department of History has long been cooperating in the education of our students with a number of domestic and foreign institutions, as well as key researchers working at these institutions.
The didactics of history full-time doctoral programme does not include courses in pedagogical/professional practice, but the Department cooperates with schools in the case of opportunities for pedagogical research and various studies from the school environment.
The Faculty of Education of Comenius University has concluded a contract with all schools where students carry out their practice, in the case of doctoral studies it is possible to carry out research investigations at the schools mentioned above.
The list of primary and practice schools is regularly updated. The Faculty of Education of Comenius University has concluded current cooperation agreements with schools where students of the History Teacher Training Programme (combined) carry out teaching practice:

(document available on site)
This is not the case - the school does not have an additional seat to deliver the programme of study.
There is no specific study advisor within the PhD programme, but the responsible persons are available to the students on their e-mail accounts, where they can contact them and communicate their study questions. Students can contact them in person, by phone, by email, by video call via MS Teams or by other pre-arranged means. Their contact details and the consultation schedule are listed on the department's website and students are also familiar with them at the first contact meeting on the day of enrolment. The consultation schedule is updated at the beginning of each semester. Another supporting element at the Faculty is the Academic Library for educational, professional, scientific, creative and research activities.
For students with specific needs, the Support Centre for Students with Specific Needs carries out support, which works very closely not only with the coordinators but also with the individual lecturers involved in teaching students with specific needs.
One of the support departments is the Information Technology Centre of Comenius University and its employees are very proactive in their approach to the development of the faculty and its individual components as well as study programmes - their services are directed not only to the faculty staff, but also to students (PC nests, available EDUROAM network, the possibility of using MS Office and its components for online teaching - MS Teams, MS Forms, Moodle, e-learning, etc.).
Part of the support is also assumed by the Student Section of the Academic Senate of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University and their communication and transfer of important information.
Students with specific needs have three coordinators (SEN group experts) at their disposal who saturate their needs and suggest appropriate adjustments and support services.
The faculty provides psychological, special education, social and career counselling.
At the faculty level, the Social Affairs Office for Students is available to students.
Doctoral students also have the opportunity to actively participate in the improvement of studies and student life at the faculty as members of the Student Section of the Academic Senate of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University.

Department of Social Affairs for Students
For students in the Didactics of History programme, the diverse needs of students are met through the activities of the faculty. In particular, students' social security. Scholarships are a direct form of social support for students. In accordance with the Scholarship Regulations of Comenius University, the University provides students with
a) social scholarships from the funds provided for this purpose from the state budget,
b) incentive scholarships from the funds provided for this purpose from the state budget,
c) scholarships from its own resources.
One form is the social scholarship, which contributes to the costs of study. At the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, its provision is governed by the Scholarship Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University. It is granted to students of the first- and second-degree study programmes and study programmes pursuant to Section 53(3) of the Higher Education Act No. 131/2002, who have permanent residence in the Slovak Republic, on the basis of fulfilment of the stipulated conditions.
The Faculty of Education of the Comunius University in Bratislava grants students an incentive scholarship from the state budget allocated by the Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic. The conditions for awarding the incentive scholarship are regulated by the Act on Higher Education No. 131/2002 Coll., § 96 (8-11) and also by the Scholarship Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University.
In addition, the University provides students with accommodation in dormitories and accommodation-related services, such as the possibility of meals, spiritual activities in the University Pastoral Centre, sports activities in several places and spaces - multifunctional gyms, halls, sports grounds, the UK shipyard, etc. There is a GP, ophthalmologist and dentist's office on the campus, and a free Psychological Counselling Centre of Comenius University is available.
The University Pastoral Centre (UPece) of St. Joseph Freiademetz in Mlynska dolina in Bratislava offers spiritual, cultural and sporting activities for students.
The University Cultural Centre has a library and a space for playing board games.
Artistic students can get involved, for example, in the Comenius choir or actively participate in openings and exhibitions.
The university organises a number of cultural activities involving students every year, e.g. Amosfest (concerts, lectures, discussions, travel cinema) and many other events, e.g. in recent years on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the University of Comenius. Faculties organise their own social events (beanies, Christmas gatherings, balls, majals).
Comenius University regularly offers university-wide lectures by exceptional personalities - eminent scientists from all over the world, including Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, writers, artists, top state representatives from abroad and leaders of international organisations.
The TEDxUniversitaKomensky conference features speakers from diverse fields of science, technology, art, design, politics, culture and business.

Comenius University has the opportunity to send students abroad for study or internship in the framework of its partnerships (Utrecht Network, SYLFF, some bilateral agreements) to 63 foreign universities in over 30 countries in Europe and beyond. Even broader opportunities covering practically the whole world exist under other schemes, in particular under the Erasmus+ programme and activities under the umbrella of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Slovak Republic, implemented through SAIA. These are in particular: the Central European Exchange Programme for University Studies (CEEPUS), the National Scholarship Programme (NSP), the Austria-Slovakia Action, the Visegrad Fund, etc. New mobility opportunities within the broader Erasmus+ programme are offered by the ENLIGHT University Alliance, under which Comenius University in Bratislava has established educational cooperation with eight European universities in 2020: the University of Bordeaux, Ghent University, University of Groningen, University of Göttingen, University of Uppsala, University of Tartu, National University of Ireland, University of Galway and University of the Basque Country. The universities are committed to offering their students a variety of learning formats, ranging from short-term physical and virtual mobilities in the form of summer schools or 'living labs', to joint study programmes, building on accredited programmes of study in each country and recognising each other's coursework.
The Erasmus+ coordinator working at the department helps applicants to draw up a precise study plan at a foreign university, which is a prerequisite for the recognition of studies completed abroad. Detailed information on students' participation in foreign mobility for individual academic years is provided in the faculty annual reports.
Administrative support is provided to students at the faculties by the Office for International Relations, which is dedicated to advising on student exchanges and internships and promoting international mobility.
For Erasmus+ activities, the Erasmus+ Unit (OPE+) in the Rector's Office manages all the activities of the programme at the Comenius University, which supports partnerships between educational institutions, reform projects aimed at modernising education and individual mobility of staff and students. The OPE+ Programme news, rules and calls are regularly updated on its website. The most significant share of student exchanges is accounted for by the Erasmus+ mobility programmes (KA103, KA107).
The position of the University and its faculties in relation to the Erasmus+ mobility programmes at Comenius University is regulated by the Internal Regulation of Comenius University No. 3/2016 on the competence of Comenius University and its faculties within the European Community Erasmus+ programme.
Students of the Didactics of History programme can take advantage of the mobility offer on the basis of contracts concluded by the Department of History on a long-term basis. So far, no PhD students have participated in the mobility abroad, also due to the fact that the Didactics of History study programme has only been accredited for a short period of time. This was also influenced by the Covit 19 pandemic. The long-term goal of the Department of History remains the deepening and further establishment of cooperation in the field of student mobility also for third cycle students.
The departmental Erasmus+ coordinator is available to students to work with them on the curriculum and equivalence of courses at their home university, to help them with the formalities of applying to a particular foreign university, to address any changes in courses during their stay with students and to provide them with the necessary consultations. The Department has a contract with the Department of History at the Faculty of Education of Masaryk University in Brno. The coordinator of Erasmus+ at the Department of History is PhDr. Mária Tonková, CSc. (maria.tonkova@fedu.uniba.sk)
The most widely used mobility programme is Erasmus+ studies, under which it is possible to complete part of the studies in the countries of the European Union.
In addition to study mobility, Erasmus+ traineeship in an organisation or institution for a minimum of two months or Erasmus+ graduate traineeship, which can be used up to 12 months after the completion of each degree, is also used.
The application for Erasmus+ studies is made through the Mobility Online system, the selection of students is transparent according to pre-known criteria (weighted average, CV, motivation letter, level of competence in the language of study and other activities related to the study programme). At each stage of the preparation and implementation of the study stay, students are guided by the faculty Erasmus+ coordinator, the Vice Dean for International Relations at the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, administrative support is provided by the staff of the Office for International Relations, and the Erasmus+ departmental coordinator is available to the students, who prepares the selection and equivalence of courses for the study stay, helps with the formalities of applying to a particular foreign university, and, during the stay with the students, resolves any changes in the courses and provides them with the necessary consultations.
Another option is to make use of the international inter-university network within the CEEPUS CIII-HU-0809-05-1718 FISH programme.
Finally, there is the possibility for students to study on the basis of inter-university agreements of Comenius University, according to the current offer, e.g. semester master's studies at the University of Innsbruck, UTRECHT Network, etc.
Departments providing students for mobility not only send but also receive foreign students through the Erasmus+ programme.

Support and services for students with specific needs:
https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/studium/podpora-a-sluzby-pre-studentov/studenti-so-specifickymi-potrebami/
The sense of autonomy, independence and self-assessment, as well as reflection on the learning outcomes or personal development of a student with specific needs are fostered by multiple sources and from multiple levels. Appropriate guidance for students with specific needs is primarily provided by academic advisors, who are selected by the department chair from among experienced educators knowledgeable about faculty policies and processes, particularly in the field of education. Typically, academic advisors are assigned to particular levels of study of a particular study programme, or are academic advisors for particular years of students (first or final year). Each academic advisor has "tutoring" hours in addition to regular office hours during the work week. Normally, study advisors are available in their office hours, on their office phones, on email, and in the MS Teams environment. The Dean of the Faculty appoints the study advisor on the proposal of the Head of Department.
At the time of enrolment of applicants for studies, meetings with students, including students with specific needs, are compulsorily carried out on the basis of the Dean's Directive, where they are informed about all the details of their studies, details of the study programme, recommended study paths, lecturers, relevant tutors, the course of the academic year, and where their possibilities, limitations, study procedures, etc. are discussed individually. The meeting also involves the timetable officer of the relevant programme of study, who answers students' questions related to the registration of courses for the timetable event and the actual course of the timetable in the semesters.
The academic year timetables for the respective years of study include compulsory tutor meetings with students in their final years of study during the first week of the summer semester, together with instruction on the submission of final theses and the conduct of state examinations.
The coordinators for work with students with specific needs, who are appointed by the Dean of the Faculty and who are involved in the preparation and implementation of appropriate adjustments and support services for students with specific needs, as well as in communication with the heads of departments and individual tutors on possible educational strategies and the selection of appropriate educational methods, have a special position in the student support service. More difficult cases of students with specific needs have a designated mentoring educator who guides the student through each step of the learning process and together they manage the effectiveness of the student's learning.
At the Faculty of Education of Comenius University we currently have three coordinators (including the main faculty coordinator) who focus on several types of specific needs of applicants and students - a coordinator for students with visual impairments, a coordinator for students with hearing impairments, a coordinator for students with physical disabilities, illness and medical impairments, who also deals with students with specific learning disabilities. The coordinators also consult with other professionals and the Student Center as needed to address other specific needs, e.g., autism spectrum disorders, psychiatric disorders, etc.

The Department of Special Education has a Centre for Assistance to Students with Special Educational Needs. It acts as a model workplace for students with special educational needs applying to study at the University and also as a contact point for communication with educators from other universities working in the field of counselling support for students with special educational needs. It is equipped with special aids to make education more effective and accessible to all categories of students with special needs, as well as to able-bodied students. The management of the faculty strives every year to debarrierise the academic environment and to implement such support services and appropriate measures (wheelchair-accessible entrances to buildings, wheelchair-accessible toilets, common areas and classrooms) that lead to the improvement and accessibility of the education of students with special needs. Further solutions for barrier-free access to other buildings and classrooms for students with disabilities (lift, ramps, safety catches, etc.) are continuously being developed.
The University-wide Student Assistance Centre for Students with Specific Needs, located in the Rector's Office of the University, is accessible to students with specific needs.
Psychologists are also available at the faculty and also one of the services is the provision of career counselling to students.
Last but not least, among the basic support for all students, including students with specific needs, is provided by the Study Department and individual clerks, who also have in their agenda the communication with students of specifically assigned study programmes, divided according to the form of study into full-time and part-time forms (for each form of study a separate clerk). There are also clerks for the Department for Science and Research as well as for the International Department. Other departments of the faculty are also indirectly involved in the quality of studies (internal administration, social department, etc.).
The student section of the Academic Senate of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University is also used for communication of students' issues in the self-governing bodies of the faculty.
The sense of autonomy within the study programme is strengthened by the choice of study path options within the development of the study plan, the distribution of the student's workload within the study programme courses and the guidance to autonomy in studies and in creative activities with the support of tutoring and mentoring by the lecturer; an integral part of the approach is the valorisation and systematisation of the student's self-assessment in the context of assessment tools. Holistically, the basic construction principle of the educational actors is the activation of mutual respect and esteem.
In addition to information and counselling activities, the main emphasis in the didactics of history study programme is on academic assistance and educational activities, which, especially in the current time of crisis, appears to be particularly important in order to strengthen the ability to fulfil study obligations for both disabled and socially disadvantaged students.
The Directive provides detailed information on the conditions for making the academic environment accessible, defines the procedure for exercising rights to support, and draws attention to the responsibilities of all the actors involved (University, faculties, coordinators, applicants, students).
The specific needs of applicants and students are monitored from their first contact with Comenius University. Attention is paid in particular to the selection of an appropriate study programme so that the consequences of a severe disability/impairment are not a contraindication to studying or pursuing a profession. In relation to applicants with special needs, the Centre for Students promotes and applies best practice - very early communication with prospective students, intensive counselling, arranging meetings with competent persons at the relevant faculty (coordinator, study programme guarantor, authorised representative of the department, or departmental study advisor, study vice-dean), organising visits to faculties, halls of residence, meetings with older students with special needs.
Applicants will be given detailed instructions on applying for admission and informing faculty of their specific needs.
In the case of entrance examinations, applicants with special needs have modified conditions (e.g., time allotment, examination format, technical and humane support).
Where the conditions for admission without entrance examinations are met, applicants are advised of their responsibility to inform the school of their specific needs and entitlements well in advance so that adjustments and support services can be applied for.
Upon admission, based on the application for registration and documented evidence, reasonable adjustments to study and examinations are granted to the student with special needs and the student's teachers or faculty coordinator are informed of these adjustments.
Depending on the type and extent of the needs, the student may be able to count on greater time flexibility in fulfilling his/her study obligations, use of support services and academic assistance. The design of adjustments and support services is provided by the Student Centre (in cooperation with coordinators, specialists in the group of disadvantages, or study guarantors).
The Student Centre pays attention to teachers in the context of counselling, and communication with teachers is currently much more intensive.
For many years, the Student Centre has been organising camps for the secondary school students/students with severe disabilities, which also include training and instructional activities aimed at promoting computer literacy, the importance of early and qualified familiarisation with assistive technologies and their provision for personal use well in advance.
Preparatory activities are also being undertaken by the Student Centre with a view to new forms of training and are planned to be expanded. It is also developing a mentoring support programme for students with special needs, which could help a wider range of students (not only) with disabilities.

Students' views on the quality of the curriculum are monitored in the existing study programs both during ongoing teaching and at the end of each semester. Based on a bottom-up strategy, in order to foster innovation and an individual approach to each group, lecturers can choose the monitoring method independently.
Due to the small number of all PhD students of the study programme Didactics of History during the period, feedback is mainly obtained through individual interviews and discussions with students. As students are mostly co-investigators of research grants led by supervisors, communication takes place almost on a daily basis. In working meetings, seminars, besides research problems, doctoral issues are also addressed. For PhD students in the external form, this personal communication is rarer and takes place in the form of e-mail communication, telephone or online consultation (MS Teams, etc.). In addition, the Department of History is in contact with students through social networks, on the platform of the Kingdom of Historians students are not only informed but also have the possibility of direct communication with teachers.

email correspondence available on site
For the teachers of the Department of History providing the Didactics of History, the opinions of graduates and employers are a valuable source of information for the continuous improvement of teaching. The Department of History communicates with graduates mainly through the e-mail of individual members, as well as through the website and the social network Facebook. In 2011, a closed group for students and alumni of the Department of History was created on this social network, which was named after an informal association of students - the Kingdom of Historians. Its administrator was a PhD student and is currently Mgr. Pavol Makyna, PhD. (also a graduate of the Department of History), and his responsibilities include managing the department's website. Through this group, graduates and students learn current information about the life of the department, students and lecturers exchange experiences, help each other with research and filling in questionnaires, fill in the capacity of excursions (also from the ranks of graduates, who repeatedly like to participate in them), exchange various tips on cultural and educational events (exhibitions, lectures, publications, etc.), draw attention to job vacancies in the field, etc. The group currently has 410 members.
A link to the closed group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/10150146607770297/about ) can also be found on the Department's website (https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/sucasti/katedry/katedra-historie/kralovstvo-historikov/ ).
Doctoral graduates appreciate the high quality training for practice and further research in the field of education. On the positive side, graduates remain active in the field of education. Their success in their new positions is also evidenced by the fact that several graduates have shortly after starting their new jobs become chairpersons of subject committees or tutors, who are supposed to pass on to their senior colleagues the latest knowledge in the field of didactics of history and set trends in history teaching at the respective school.

Students' opinions are monitored through anonymous surveys provided by the faculty (currently after each semester), and specific surveys, e.g. last year and this year's survey on distance learning, the results of which are publicly available (https://uniba.sk/elearning/) and are used as a basis for long-term planning of teaching, syllabus development, etc.
Students' views on the quality of the curriculum are monitored in the existing curricula both during ongoing teaching and at the end of each semester. Based on a bottom-up strategy, in order to foster innovation and an individual approach to each group, lecturers are free to choose their own monitoring method.

In working meetings, seminars, besides research problems, doctoral issues are also addressed. For PhD students in the external form, this personal communication is rarer and takes place in the form of e-mail communication, telephone or online consultation (MS Teams, etc.). In addition, the Department of History is in contact with students through social networks, on the platform of the Kingdom of Historians students are not only informed but also have the possibility of direct communication with teachers.
Students, teachers, employers and other curriculum stakeholders are involved in the collection, analysis and follow-up of the measures in the Curriculum Council, which then deals with them.

The University and the Department of History itself regularly publishes information on its website, updates the information already available and tries to inform not only the employees of the University, students, but also the wider public in an appropriate content and formal structure.
The publication of information and the publication rules are part of the internal quality system.
The Univesity has published, easily accessible and clearly structured information about the Didactics of History study programme on the university's website on its own sub-page. This information is thus easily accessible to students, their supporters, prospective students, alumni, other stakeholders and the general public in the language in which the degree programme is delivered.
By making the information accessible, the University also takes into account the needs of applicants and students with specific needs, the support system at the faculty and university level by implementing Internal Regulation No. 23/2021 Internal Quality System at Comenius University and Internal Regulation No. 23/2014 Directive of the Rector of Comenius University in Bratislava to ensure a generally accessible academic environment for students with specific needs. The University facilitates access to information by taking into account the needs of applicants and students with specific needs, including through the Comenius University Support Centre for Students with Specific Needs.

Students' views on the quality of the curriculum are monitored in existing degree programmes both during ongoing teaching and at the end of each semester. Based on a bottom-up strategy, in order to foster innovation and an individual approach to each group, lecturers can choose the monitoring method independently.
Due to the small number of all PhD students of the study programme Didactics of History during the period, feedback is mainly obtained through individual interviews and discussions with students. As students are mostly co-investigators of research grants led by supervisors, communication takes place almost on a daily basis. In working meetings, seminars, besides research problems, doctoral issues are also addressed. For PhD students in the external form, this personal communication is rarer and takes place in the form of e-mail communication, telephone or online consultation (MS Teams, etc.). In addition, the Department of History is in contact with students through social networks, on the platform of the Kingdom of Historians students are not only informed but also have the possibility of direct communication with teachers.
Continuous work is underway to extract and analyse available data from the AIS system, from lecturers based on insights from teaching and feedback data from students (faculty survey) and through lecturers. The coordination role in the analysis for the purpose of continuous monitoring is held by the main person responsible for the study programe. This assessment based on continuous monitoring includes, in particular, monitoring compliance with curriculum standards; monitoring whether the learning objectives and learning outcomes achieved are in line with the needs of students, employers and other stakeholders; monitoring whether the learning objectives and learning outcomes achieved are in line with current knowledge and state-of-the-art applications, current technological capabilities; monitoring whether the level of graduates, in particular through the learning outcomes achieved, is in line with the required level of the qualification framework.

Part of the monitoring and evaluation of the Didactics of History study programme is obtaining relevant feedback from the programme stakeholders determined in accordance with the relevant legislation and the Internal Quality System of Comenius University. Procedures are formalised to ensure that part of the monitoring and evaluation of the study programme includes obtaining relevant feedback from external stakeholders. Employers of graduates of the Didactics of History study programme as well as external members of the Didactics of History study programme Council are approached from the external environment.

Minutes of the Study Programme Board (to be documented on site)
Within the Didactics of History study programme, there are instruments which, mainly with the help of the evaluation of student surveys, but also through personal inspections from the management of the department, hospitalizations and follow-up interviews with the teachers in question, review the educational activities of individual teachers and propose the necessary adjustments to the study programme for their continuous improvement and enhancement.

During the modification of the Didactics of History degree programme, information from the graduates and current graduates of the programme, as well as their and employers' information, was taken into account. We consider the opinions of both stakeholders to be an important factor in the continuous improvement of the focus, forms and organisation of the study programme, and they have become a co-inspiration for the current updating of the emphasis of the content and methodological aspects of the individual courses.
The main result of the feedback from students as well as employers are changes in the emphasis of the content of individual courses.
Optimal feedback from student doctoral students has been specifically manifested in specific courses in the field of Didactics of History, as internal doctoral students in particular are systematically encouraged to give immediate feedback to the lecturers. In the evaluation and defence of doctoral seminar papers, students also comment on the extent to which the course was effective and useful in the treatment of the topic, or to what extent it contributed to the improvement of the level of dissertation elaboration. Teachers try to be flexible where possible and to emphasise some aspects of the course content more specifically. The evaluation of teachers' work in individual courses helps to improve the quality of teachers' work, to eliminate shortcomings, as well as to introduce new teaching methods and procedures.
The insights that have emerged from discussions with employers have alerted us to longer-standing problems of practice, or problems arising from the building of transferable practical competences in graduates. However, more substantial updating of the structure of the study programme, or the introduction of new courses, which resulted from some of the requirements or recommendations of employers and graduates of the third cycle of studies themselves, require further preparation and consultation, and partly changes that go beyond our possibilities and competences - e.g. the introduction of compulsory teaching practice, or longer-term teaching of a given apprenticeship in a school environment. The adoption of the proposals would also affect the structure of the first and second cycle curricula. Overall, however, it can be summarised that the new curriculum proposal responds significantly to the conclusions of the two sides of the feedback mentioned above.
