ERGOB3900 Professional Development and Methods - Bachelor Thesis Course description

Det benyttes en gradert karakterskala fra A til E for bestått og F for ikke bestått eksamen.

Eksamen vurderes av intern og ekstern sensor.

FoU-oppgaven skal faglig og forskningsmessig tilhøre fagutvikling innenfor begynneropplæring på 1. - 4. trinn i norsk eller matematikk, fortrinnsvis på egen arbeidsplass. Det er en forutsetning at studenten bruker aksjonsforskning i den datainnsamlingen og dataanalysen som leder frem til FoU-oppgaven. Innenfor denne rammen har studenten mulighet for selv å velge tema og problemstilling, men tema og problemstilling skal godkjennes av veileder. Problemstilling, forskningslitteratur og analyser skal i vesentlig grad ses i sammenheng med aksjonsforskning.

Work and teaching methods include independent work, project work in groups and seminars. The seminars will focus on philosophy of science and different scientific methods and approaches. Digital learning resources will be made available to students in advance and the time they spend at the university will be used for discussion and group work.

Project work

Students work independently in groups and receive supervision in relation to the project work and how to write assignments. In part one, the students are to document a project plan through writing a project outline. In part two, the students are to carry out the project and write the bachelor thesis. The supervision is organised on the basis of the projects the students work on, and takes place partly in larger groups with presentations and discussions with peer feedback, and partly in the individual bachelor groups.

In order to be permitted to sit the exam, the following must have been approved:

• a minimum of 80 per cent attendance in scheduled teaching
• a written assignment in the form of a project outline for the bachelor thesis, up to 3,000 words. The project description must be written and submitted in groups normally comprising two students.

Written bachelor’s thesis in groups normally comprising two students, up to 7,000 words.

Resit exam: If the bachelor’s thesis is awarded a fail grade, the students have the right to submit a reworked version once.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

A–F.

All exam papers are assessed by two examiners. An external examiner will assess at least 20% of the papers together with an internal examiner. Other exams are assessed by two internal examiners. The external examiner’s assessment shall benefit all students.
