Programme description

  • Introduction

    The work and teaching methods used in the course are characterised by lectures and dialogue and discussions, to which the students bring their own different practical experience and academic backgrounds. See the programme description for further details.

  • Required preliminary courses

    The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

    • Oral presentation of a draft of an academic poster (see the Assessment section) lasting 15 to 20 minutes.
    • 80% attendance requirement

    The purpose of the oral presentation is to encourage students to engage in more oral activity and improve their oral presentation skills, and to present the academic content to fellow students and the lecturer(s) in an organised and effective manner. The oral presentation is intended to help the students to acquire the skills specified in the learning outcomes for the course.

  • Learning outcomes

    The student must submit an individual written assignment by the stipulated deadline, comprising an academic poster and a written summary of 500 words +/- 10%.

    Resit/rescheduled examStudents who fail the exam must rework both the poster and the summary.

  • Teaching and learning methods

  • Assessment

    Two internal examiners are used. An external programme supervisor is affiliated with the course in accordance with the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at HiOA.

  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    The academic content of this course covers key theories and concepts relating to poverty, inequality and power in developing countries and the role of education in social development. The theories are linked to three levels:

    a) micro: individual, social relations

    b) meso: school and the local community

    c) macro: education policy and development in a national and international perspective

    At all three levels, emphasis will be placed on the relationship between education and development and comparative issues. The main areas covered are empirical knowledge and theory relating to topics such as cultural complexity, knowledge, learning, inequality, multiculturalism, power and development. These topics are relevant to all the three levels mentioned above, and are important regardless of which area the students decide to specialise in. The relationship between the levels is also important, and all of the levels can be studied on the basis of the different theoretical perspectives mentioned above.

  • Grading scale

    I forbindelse med avsluttende vurdering benyttes en karakterskala fra A til E for bestått (A er høyeste karakter og E er laveste) og F for ikke bestått.
