Introduction

For å kunne fremstille seg til eksamen må studenten gjennomføre og få godkjent følgende arbeidskrav innen fastlagte frister:

  • Arbeidskrav 1: Kunnskapstest 1
  • Arbeidskrav 2: Kunnskapstest 2
  • Arbeidskrav 3: Kunnskapstest 3

Kunnskapstestene er korte individuelle tester som skal besvares digitalt innenfor oppgitt frist i Canvas.

Formålet med arbeidskravene er å fremme progresjon i lesing av pensum og i arbeidet med å oppnå forventet læringsutbytte i emnet.

Arbeidskravene må være gjennomført og godkjent innen fastlagt frist for at studenten skal kunne framstille seg til eksamen. Dersom et eller flere arbeidskrav ikke blir godkjent, gis det anledning til å kunne levere testen på nytt én gang innen ny angitt frist.

Learning outcomes

Eksamen i emnet er en skoleeksamen på fem timer.

Teaching and learning methods

Ingen hjelpemidler er tillatt.

Course requirements

Det benyttes intern og ekstern sensor til sensurering av besvarelsene.

Et uttrekk på minst 25 % av besvarelsene sensureres av to sensorer. Karakterene på disse samsensurerte besvarelsene skal danne grunnlag for å fastsette nivå på resten av besvarelsene.

Admission requirements

Target group

The course is directed at PhD students and academic staff who conduct research on questions related to the social consequences of religious pluralism, including the challenges of religious diversity in classrooms, schools, health stations, and other public places, human rights and public governance, friction between gender equity and religiously legitimized gender roles, and the effects of changing ethnoreligious composition on local communities.

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.
