Knowledge

The student has

  • advanced knowledge of a series of social theories of institutions and actors
  • insight into how to critically assess these theories and their arguments
  • thorough knowledge of how the theories may be applied to research analyses
  • practical knowledge of how s/he may apply one or more of these theories in the master's thesis

Skills

The student

  • is able to identify and discuss different social theories
  • can identify how practical research analyses may be conducted using these theories
  • can critically discuss the empirical implications of particular social theories

  • can apply social theories in new areas in order to carry out advanced assignments and projects

Content

Det matematikkfaglige arbeidet i emne 2 vil være sentrert omkring barnetrinnets matematikk, spesielt rasjonale tall, geometri, måling og overgangen fra aritmetikk til algebra. Dette knyttes nært til praktisk tilrettelegging av undervisning, til det å forstå og beskrive barns måter å bruke matematikk på, og til barns utvikling av matematisk forståelse.

Det matematikk-didaktiske arbeidet vil gi studentene innsikt og kompetanse i å planlegge, gjennomføre, reflektere over og vurdere undervisning med tanke på en bred utvikling av elevers faglige kompetanse. Fagmetodiske problemstillinger inngår som en viktig del av studiet, som det å bruke og drøfte ulike læringsmiljøer, undervisningsmetoder, hjelpemidler, lærebøker. Studiet gjør studentene fortrolige med de grunnleggende ferdighetene å kunne uttrykke seg skriftlig og muntlig, å kunne lese og regne og å kunne bruke digitale verktøy i faget matematikk.

Teaching and learning methods

The course will comprise a mix of lecture, discussions and hands-on exercises. Students will end the course with an exercise in which they apply one of the theories learned to their own research study, in the form of a course presentation. There will be a meeting set aside for student presentations.

Course requirements

Students must deliver a presentation in one of the two final meetings, with a feedback from lectureres and classmates. The presentation serves as the homework assignment that students must complete in order to sit for the final exam.

Students are expected to attend lectures and to participate actively in discussions and assigned work groups during the course.

Assessment

The assessment consists of an individual 7 days written home exam of 3000 words +/- 10%.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

All referenced material allowed.

Grading scale

Students are awarded grades on a descending scale from A to E for pass and F for fail.

Examiners

An external examiner will grade a random sample consisting of at least 25 per cent of the homework. The grades given for this sample provide a basis for internal examiners who will be grading the other exams. External examiners will also be utilized to grade an exam when there is doubt about giving the exam a passing grade.
