Introduction

Praksisopplæringen har som overordnet mål å gi studenter som tar kompletterende lærerutdanning den kompetansen de trenger for å arbeide som lærere i den norske grunnskolen. Studentene skal bli kjent med den norske grunnskolen, lærerens arbeid og mangfoldet i den norske skole. Dette oppnås gjennom et tett samarbeid mellom Høgskolen og praksisopplæring. Praksisopplæringen har en progresjon hvor studentene får flere selvstendige oppgaver og større grad av ansvar. Det legges stor vekt på at studenten får utvikle et fagspråk, tilpasset norsk skolekontekst

Content

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.

The teaching is coordinated with ØABED3000. 

Course requirements

We start the course with an introduction to basic theoretical elements needed to understand investment decision rules, corporate policy decisions and capital budgeting/valuation. Then, we move forward to the topic of investment under uncertainty, which provides the main theoretical and methodological insights on portfolio selection, the capital asset pricing model (CAPM model) and the cost of capital. This topic is covered in more depth in the ØABED3500 "Investments" course. The topic of Capital Structure builds on the cost of capital to provide a deep understanding of optimal corporate policy decisions, in regards to capital structure, investment and payout policy, in the presence of market imperfections. We also cover the interlinkages with operating decisions and other investment decisions of the firm by developing the intuition on working capital management, leasing and risk management. The last topic draws on all of the above to cover more advanced valuation with leverage and capital budgeting. This last topic provides the grounds for the ØABED3700/4100 "Valuation" course.

Language of instruction is English.
