  • Assessment

    I bachelorperioden skal studenten videreutvikle kunnskaper om akademisk skriving, samt oppøve begynnende kunnskaper om vitenskapsteori, forskningsetikk og metode. Målet med bacheloroppgaven er at studenten skal dokumentere profesjonskunnskap. Emnets innhold defineres av en selvvalgt problemstilling som skal sees i sammenheng med fremtidig profesjonsutøvelse. Studenten velger selv tema, problemstilling og metode for oppgaven. Bacheloroppgaven kan ta utgangspunkt i temaer studenten har jobbet med i sin fordypning, men må være en videreutvikling av disse temaene. Problemstilling skal godkjennes av veileder, og metoden må henge sammen med valgt problemstilling.

    Oppgaven kan dokumenteres og utføres på ulike måter. Alle studenter skal skrive en fagtekst om sitt arbeid. I enkelte temaer kan den skriftlige fagteksten kombineres med et praktisk arbeid. Da vil deler av bacheloroppgaven ha form som for eksempel digitale arbeider, foto, video-/lydopptak, bildebok, installasjoner, egenprodusert utstillinger, forestillinger eller konserter. Andre muligheter er utarbeidelse av opplegg sammen med barn knyttet til spesifikke fagdidaktiske utfordringer. Praktisk arbeid som ikke kan legges ved oppgaven, dokumenteres der det finner sted og legges ved fagteksten. Dersom man velger å gjøre et praktisk arbeid, må fagteksten inneholde diskusjoner om ulike valg og pedagogiske forståelser relatert til det praktiske arbeidet/prosessen man har utført.
