The first part of the course is a seminar given over two subsequent days. The working methods include lectures, discussions, as well as practical workshops. Candidates are expected to actively participate in all the teaching activities.

The second part of the course is primarily related to the student presentations, which constitute the exam in this course.

Preparations for the course

Students are encouraged to enter OsloMet’s learning platform and attain knowledge of parts of the reading list prior to the course to be able to participate actively in discussions.

Course Requirements

Coursework requirement are:

• Mandatory attendance on the two days of lectures, discussions, and practical workshops. Up to 50 % absence from other students’ oral presentations can be accepted in certain cases, after application.

The candidate prepare and implement a 15 minutes individual oral presentation. The candidate’s own project/field of research interest should be shortly presented to afford a meaningful discussion on its relevance (or lack of relevance) to ABR. The candidate is free to choose the topic(s) within ABR that will constitute the main part of the presentation; however, references from the reading list must support the discussion.

The presentation can be in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English and multi-modality is encouraged. Following the presentation there will be a sequence in which the candidate responds to questions and receive comments from the course leader, sensor and others.

In case of failed exam/legal absence, the candidate may have a new exam under the same conditions when a new/postponed exam is arranged.

The grades are "pass" or "fail". The requirement for "pass" is that the oral presentation builds on the learning outcomes and on parts of the syllabus.

The oral presentation will be assessed by the course coordinator and a member of the academic staff with relevant competence.

Target Group

The target groups are PhD candidates / students and scientific staff (also from other fields than the fine arts) 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 / college. The course is also open for candidates from other universities in Norway and abroad.

Admission Requirements

The admission requirement is a five-year master’s degree (three years + two years) or equivalent qualifications in teacher education, other pedagogical education, educational science, development studies, or other education on equivalent level in subjects relevant for teacher education.

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 that are not enrolled on 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.
