| Abstract | Purpose: The purpose of the research is to investigate how particular information from the environment serves as didactic material for students of Siauliai University Faculty of Social Sciences in learning to carry out scientific analysis and theoretical generalization of data in their theses. Methodology: The main sources--Internet databases, Department of Statistics of the Republic of Lithuania, the municipalities of towns and regions. Many students collect data at concrete enterprises and institutions, and investigate real economic and social problems during their practice. Results: Studies are completed by writing a final Bachelor's or Master's work. In these works, the analysis of research results must occupy the biggest part of the work. Theoretical part of the work constitutes only 30-40 percent of all the work and has a tendency to decline. It is necessary that research data are collected from real environment, concrete enterprises and institutions, or from the town as well as from the region. It is also important that research data would reflect the essential information about the problem under investigation. Empirical data are being processed by statistical computer methods, and the analysis of secondary data is being carried out. Conclusions, corresponding to reality, as well as applied recommendations are of great importance too. Novelty and practical relevance must be characteristic of research results. Conclusions: In the investigated Master's thesis a wide analysis of country, city and school documents has been carried out, statistical methods of computer quantitative analysis have been applied and qualitative interpretation of statistical data has been carried out. In the thesis analysis of empirical data dominates theoretical part, which amounts to about 20 percent. The theory analyzed in the thesis indicates that restructuring of network of schools in the country is an integral part of the theory of management of strategic change. The Master's thesis meets the requirements of research methods: the student has carried out the research of the main problem in her working place and formed the basis for the solution of this problem with research results and generalizations. Thus the student has proved that she met the qualification of postgraduate level specialist--researcher of management. This article was prepared based on the case study method: several aspects of one Master's thesis were analyzed. The aim of the article was achieved--it was shown that information from the environment serves as didactic material for students' theses. (Contains 1 table and 3 figures.)
