  • can evaluate the expediency and application of methods and research processes within participatory research
  • has in-depth knowledge about research ethics significant for processes within action research and practice research
  • has advanced knowledge about how action research and practice research can contribute to the development of innovative knowledge and methods

  • can plan and carry out action research and practice research projects of high l standard can handle complex academic issues related to knowledge production and research ethics
  • can challenge established knowledge and practice in the field

General Competence:

  • can identify relevant ethical issues within participatory research to carry out his/her research with scholarly integrity
  • can initiate and manage complex research projects based on collaboration with different stakeholders
  • can communicate the research to stakeholders and academic debates through recognized channels, both national and international

Required preliminary courses

The course activities will include:

  • topics and learning activities that will be covered each week:
    • either at home before the lecture (FLIP) or
    • in the classroom/zoom/streaming (CZS) during the lecture,
  • tools/inputs to use (EXCEL)

;

As a general idea, students will be asked to prepare some theoretical and/or practical material every week. Then, during the lectures (CZS), students are expected to actively participate and to generate discussion in the different learning activities (e.g., practical exercises, case/paper discussion, presentations, and should be prepared to work in teams as part of the learning process. When cases are discussed during lectures or as part of the coursework (CW), students can expect to get a partial solution to the case when the discussion is over.

Learning outcomes

All examination support material is allowed as long as source reference and quotation technique requirements are applied.

Teaching and learning methods

Det faglige arbeidet i kunnskapsområdet vil ha både teoretiske og praktiske tilnærminger hvor studentene er aktive og undersøkende. Det vil være flere ekskursjoner i nærområdet og regionen. Eventuelle kostnader knyttet til dette dekkes av studenten.

Veiledet praksisopplæring

Praksisopplæringen går over 30 dager og er en integrert del av kunnskapsområdeneNatur, helse og bevegelse i første semester og Barns utvikling, lek og læring og Samfunn, religion, livssyn og etikk i andre semester. Praksisopplæringen er organisert med praksis i barnehagen og seminarer og veiledning på høgskolen. Eventuelt fravær skal tas igjen innen utgangen av hvert semester.

Se utdanningens programplan for nærmere beskrivelse av praksisperioden og praksisfordeling. I heftet "Informasjon om praksisopplæringen" vil innhold, fokus og oppgaver i de enkelte praksisdelene for praksisperioden bli nærmere beskrevet.

Course requirements

The essay will be graded by the course lectures.

Assessment

Avsluttende vurdering

Eksamen i natur, helse og bevegelse består av to deleksamener:

A. En flervalgsoppgave (multiple choice) individuell eksamen under tilsyn, omfang inntil to timer.

Hjelpemidler under eksamen: Ingen.

B. En individuell skriftlig hjemmeeksamen omfang omlag 2500 ord.

Det gis én samlet karakter for kunnskapsområdet og begge deleksamenene må være bestått for å få utskrevet studiepoeng i NHB.

Når begge eksamener er gjennomført og bestått er det karakter på hjemmeeksamen (A-F) som blir gjeldende.

Skikkethetsvurdering

Se programplanen for bachelorstudium i barnehagelærerutdanning, deltid (180 studiepoeng) for nærmere informasjon.

Ny/utsatt eksamen

Ny/utsatt eksamen gjennomføres på samme måte som ordinær eksamen. Ved ikke bestått resultat på én av eksamensdelene avlegges ny eksamen i denne delen. Studenter som ikke består hjemmeeksamenen leverer ny oppgave på grunnlag av ny oppgavetekst til ny/utsatt eksamen.

Studentens rettigheter og plikter ved ny/utsatt eksamen framgår av forskrift om studier og eksamen ved Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus. Studenter er selv ansvarlige for å melde seg opp.
