PHUV9430 Presenting Arts-Based Research Course description

Målgruppe

Emnet er primært for studenter som er tatt opp i ph.d.-programmet i utdanningsvitenskap for lærerutdanning, men vil være åpent for andre som ønsker å fordype seg i feltet utdanningsvitenskap, lærerutdanning og skole.

Opptakskrav til enkeltemner for eksterne søkere

Søkere må normalt ha fullført femårig masterutdanning (treårig + toårig) eller tilsvarende innen lærerutdanning, annen pedagogisk utdanning, utdanningsvitenskap, utviklingsstudier eller annen utdanning på tilsvarende nivå i fagområder som er relevant for lærerutdanning.

Om det blir mange søkere vil studenter ved ph.d.-programmet i utdanningsvitenskap for lærerutdanning bli prioritert. Deretter studenter ved andre ph.d.-program, så andre vitenskapelig ansatte ved Fakultet for lærerutdanning og internasjonale studier

Søkere som ikke er tatt opp til ph.d.-programmet i utdanningsvitenskap for lærerutdanning må sende inn et sammendrag på om lag én A4-side med informasjon om eget ph.d.-prosjekt eller annet prosjekt/interesseområde med tema, metode, teoretisk innfallsvinkel, hvor de eventuelt er i ph.d.-løpet og hvorfor dette emnet anses relevant for eget prosjekt.

PhD-level.

On completion of the course, the candidate will have achieved the following learning outcomes:

Knowledge

The candidate:

• has in-dept knowledge concerning core elements of ABR
• can evaluate the expediency and application of certain methodological and analytical approaches within the umbrella term ABR
• has knowledge of certain ontological, epistemological and ethical issues related to ABR

Skills

The candidate:

• can critically analyse relationships between theories of knowledge and ABR  and challenge established research practices
• can use relevant techniques to enhance and elicit  their own embodiment, empathy and/or sensitivity in research
• can formulate problems, plan, carry out and critically discuss relevant ABR processes in their own research

General competence

The candidate:

• can identify and discuss some relationships and conflicts between other scientific theories and certain theories in ABR, related to his/her field of research
• can give well-structured presentations and participate in debates assessing ABR processes and projects

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.
