Research Methods. Institutions are at liberty to embed competencies from these two areas into the associate degree program however they choose. For example, one institution may develop two or more individual courses that meet the competencies outlined in each area. Another institution may decide to embed the statistical competencies in a statistics course taught by a faculty member in the Math Department and to embed the research methods competencies into a course(s) taught by a member of the Psychology Department. The specific course structures are not as important as making sure that upon completion of the associate’s degree, a student has achieved the competencies listed below and is prepared to enter junior-level coursework in the parallel bachelor degree program at the four-year institution.

Location and subject of the study Location of the study: the research was performed in the rotational field of Lithuanian research centre for agriculture and forestry Vėžaičiai branch (LAMMC) (Western Lithuania, Seaside lowland eastern edge 55°43'N, 21°27'E). Subject of the study: granulated liming substance Kalktrąšė V of various fractions ( 0,01-2 mm and 2-5 mm) with the following chemical composition: CaO > 43,0 % (CaCO3 > 77 %); MgO > 2,5 %; Fe2O3 > 1,0 %; K2O > 1,9 %; Na2O > 0,6 % SO3 > 2,4 %. Granulated liming substance Kalktrąšė Hum of various fractions ( 0,01-2 mm, 2-5 mm and 5-10 mm) with the following chemical composition: CaO > 43,0 % (CaCO3 > 77 %); MgO > 2,5 %; Fe2O3 > 1,0 %; K2O > 2,8 %; Na2O > 0,6 % SO3 > 2,4 %; humus – 0,5 %.

Research Methods. An interview is an exchange of views on a particular subject of common interest between two or more individuals that is recognized as the importance of human communication for knowledge creation; and exemplifies the societal situation of the study of information (Xxxxx et al., 2013). Xxxxx (1996) describes an interview as a raw material for meaning evaluation at the later stage of data collection processing. As far as the research interview is concerned, it can be described as a two-person dialogue initiated by the interviewer for the precise purpose of collecting study-relevant information centered on the information of purposeful characterization, projection, or description stipulated by study aims (Xxxxx et al., 2013). Semi-structured interviewing is a qualitative method of data collection, which encourages the interviewer to query participants using predetermined open-ended questions (Xxxxx, 2008). Semi-structured interviews offer greater flexibility, adaptability along with direct communication permitting the researcher to review and interpret responses of the respondents, follow-up clues, reflect on the original comments, and get more comprehensive and explicit results (Xxxxxxxxxxx, 2013). Redesigning and reconstructing interview questions of this kind as per the answers of the respondents adds value as per the answers of the respondents, adding flexibility granted to the researcher. The choice of the participants for interviewing was by purposive sampling explained by Xxxxxx et al., (2016). The working students in Kazakhstan selection was on their being knowledgeable about the work available for students, their attitudes towards academics along with working and their work-based and study-based experiences. In addition, the students contributed willingly in the research with the help of informed consent. A schedule for conducting semi-structured interviews aided in making the interviewing process flexible. Interviews helped gather useful information from interviewees regarding their knowledge and experiences about working and studying at the same time. Listening to audio recordings helped transcription into Word in the interview language and afterwards translated. Indeed, transcribers must be familiar with the study's theoretical viewpoints and this manifests in the transcription method (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2013). The interviews recordings occurred through the use of a voice recorder and transcribed later on. The transcription process for this analy...
