Introduction

Undervisningen går over ett semester og består av tre samlinger á tre dager. Undervisningen gis gjennom forelesninger, gruppearbeid og egenstudier. Emnet baserer seg på aktiv bruk av studentenes praksiserfaringer som yrkesutøvere.

Learning outcomes

For å kunne framstille seg til eksamen må studenten ha følgende godkjente arbeidskrav:

  • En skriftlig oppgave skal jobbes med mellom samlingene og må være godkjent for å kunne framstille seg til eksamen. Oppgaven har et omfang på 3 til 5 sider. 

Arbeidskravet må være gjennomført og godkjent innen fastlagt frist for at studenten skal kunne framstille seg til eksamen. Dersom  arbeidskravet ikke blir godkjent, gis det anledning til å kunne levere en forbedret versjon én gang innen angitt frist.

Assessment

The exam in this course is individual and divided into two parts:

Part 1: a portfolio assessment that consists of work portfolio 2 and a selection of material from work portfolio 1.

Part 2: An adjusting oral exam no longer than 30 minutes where the student describes the work and the methods used in the portfolio assessment.

The exam must be written and conducted in English. Font and font size: Arial / Calibri / Verdana 12 points. Line spacing: 1,5.

The grade from Part I of the exam can be adjusted one step up or down.

Both parts of the exam must be passed to achieve a passing grade. The deadline for filing an appeal starts after the results for Part II of the exam have been announced.

In the event of a fail grade, all parts of the portfolio must be resubmitted. Students awarded a fail grade are given one opportunity to submit an improved version of the portfolio for assessment.

Grading scale

Grade scale A-F

Examiners

The essay/text will be assessed by the course coordinator and a member of the academic staff with relevant genre competence.

Admission requirements

Target group

The target groups are PhD candidates/students and scientific staff who want to learn about arts-based research processes and thereby expand their research tool kit. The course aims at PhD candidates admitted to the PhD Program in Educational Sciences for Teacher Education and other relevant programmes. It is also open to staff members at OsloMet and other universities/colleges. The course is also open to candidates from other universities in Norway and abroad.

Admission requirements

The requirements for admission include completing a five-year master's program (integrated or consisting of a three-year bachelor's program and a two-year master's program, in total 300 ECTS) in the fields of teacher education, other pedagogical disciplines, educational science, development studies, social sciences, or other relevant areas related to the PhD programme. The master's degree should include a substantial independent project equivalent to a master's thesis (minimum 30 ECTS). An internationally completed master's degree that corresponds to at least four years in the Norwegian education system may also be considered for admission (please check the grounds for enrollment on the website of the Directorate for Higher Education and Skills). https://hkdir.no/en/foreign-education/lists-and-databases/higher-education-entrancequalification-gsu

In case of a large number of applicants, PhD-students enrolled in the PhD programme in Educational Sciences for Teacher Education will be prioritized, then students in other PhD programmes, then academic employees at the Faculty of Teacher Education and International Studies.

Applicants who are not enrolled in the PhD programme at the Faculty of Education and International Studies at OsloMet must send a summary in English of maximum one A4 sheet with relevant information about their own project/area of interest, containing topic, methodology, theoretical approach, and why this course might be relevant for their project.
