Abstract
ABSTRACT. This study aims to identify the ways of conducting the seminars most commonly used in university, but also the ways of conducting the seminars with educational sciences. For this, a semi-structured interview was applied to students from the Faculty of Biology and of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Psychology Department, a total of 98 subjects. The interview included 10 questions about the ways of conducting the academic seminar. For illustration, there have been presented and analyzed the answers of five of the interview’s questions. The analysis of the students’ answers shows that interactive ways of conducting the seminars are most often used. Students think that these ways are useful because they lead to an easy assimilation of information, and also, to their comprehension.
