Everyone has a desire to reveal secrets. Some to a greater extent, some to a lesser extent. We are attracted by things unknown, things unknown so far, those that are hidden. I believe that each of you feels a slight tension when something appears that you do not understand and would like to "come to terms with it". Because man is a very mysterious and complicated being, whose behavior is largely unpredictable, it is a very suitable object for revealing secrets. You will probably work with people all your life, and you should therefore have a desire to understand man even more. Each of you should try to understand the client's or patient's behavior, and therefore you should be equipped with the skills and knowledge that will allow you to do so. There are a number of methods, techniques, ways and tools that can help him do this. In order for us all to achieve similar results, we must follow certain rules and methodologies. And that's what this course should teach you.

Gradually, we will learn to define the problem, prepare a research plan, work with the literature, conduct research, select appropriate methods of data collection, design tests, evaluate the results, discuss them and adopt conclusions. We will learn to prepare historical, descriptive, correlation and experimental research.

And because the language of today's science is English, we can handle it all in that language.

So we have a lot of work to do, but it should be useful in practice, and most importantly it should help us to know what our students are like and how we affect them in teaching.
