Course history

Introduction

Language: English (and Norwegian, dependent on the language of participants).

Approved by the Academic Affairs Committee 27.04.2020.

This PhD-course is open for candidates at the PhD Programme in Educational Sciences for Teacher Education, PhD candidates from other relevant programmes, and academic employees.

The course presents arts-based research (ABR) and processes related to ABR that are relevant in traditional qualitative research as well. Accepting knowledge as also being tacit, and the arts as important fields of understanding, today’s educational research often include aesthetical and arts-based processes. ABR is an umbrella term covering different research methodologies that draw their inspiration, concepts, processes or representational forms from the arts. To satisfy the expected transparency in research, processes involving arts-based media also need to be discussed and made explicit, whether one considers oneself to be an artist or not.

In this basic course, methodologies such as aesthetically based research, a/r/tography, practice-led research and artistic research will be presented and discussed, as will onto-epistemological issues related to ABR in general and the different methodologies. Furthermore, the students will participate in a limited number of mandatory workshops investigating core elements of ABR, (e.g. embodiment, empathy and material, formal and relational sensitivity). There will also be optional workshops exploring writing processes in ABR, related to narrative, poetical, fictional and essayistic genres. A seminar presenting and discussing the participants’ projects constitutes the course exam.

Required preliminary courses

Studenten må ha bestått alle emner i 1. studieår.

Learning outcomes

Læringsutbytte

Etter fullført emne har studenten følgende læringsutbytte inndelt i kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

Kunnskap

Studenten kan

  • beskrive de viktigste kliniske problemstillingene ved valg av materiale og design for kroner, broer, innlegg, fasetter og separat konus
  • forklare grunnleggende designprinsipper med hensyn til bittfysiologi og estetikk for å opprettholde eller gjenskape et optimalt bitt med god estetikk
  • forklare og begrunne arbeidsgangen for modellfremstilling, modellering, investering, pressing, støping, renovering, skjelettbehandling og porselensbrenning med hensyn til materialenes egenskaper, og protesen funksjon og estetikk
  • gjøre rede for hvilke muligheter og begrensninger CAD/CAM har for ulike tanntekniske produkter og materialer innen fast protetikk
  • beskrive hvordan farge og form til en tannerstatning velges ut
  • forklare bruksområdet til en diagnostisk oppvoksning

Ferdigheter

Studenten kan

  • planlegge konstruksjoner og begrunne valg av design, materialer og teknikker med tanke på kliniske forhold, preparasjon og kasus
  • anvende de aktuelle materialene slik at materialenes egenskaper opprettholdes gjennom fremstillingsprosessen
  • fremstille underkonstruksjoner i metall til metallkeramiske kroner og små til mellomstore broer med konvensjonell teknikk og/eller CAD/CAM med tilfredsstillende passform og funksjon
  • fremstille helkeramiske kroner, fasetter, innlegg og små broer med CAD/CAM eller presskeram, enten fullanatomisk, med cut-back og/eller som kjernekeramer med tilfredsstillende passform, funksjon og estetikk
  • brenne porselen på underkonstruksjoner i metall og kjernekeram på en måte som ivaretar tilfredsstillende funksjon, morfologi og optiske egenskaper i ett gitt kasus
  • fremstille separat konus på et funksjonelt tilfredsstillende nivå
  • gjennomføre en diagnostisk oppvoksning med akseptabel morfologi, estetikk og bittfunksjon

Generell kompetanse

Studenten

  • behersker bruk av relevant fagterminologi i skriftlig og muntlig kommunikasjon
  • kan dokumentere og presentere eget arbeid og reflektere over kvaliteten på egen faglig utøvelse i emnet
  • kan utføre systematisk litteratursøk og bruke kilder riktig i alle teoretiske oppgaver

Teaching and learning methods

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.

Course requirements

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.

Assessment

Vurderingsinnhold: Læringsutbyttene

Eksamensform: Individuell mappe med 3 praktiske arbeider, 1 prosessbok og 3 skriftlige oppgaver på inntil 3000 ord*

*Ad eksamensformen: Studenten kan selv velge hvilke 3 praktiske arbeider fra perioden som innleveres til eksamen. De utvalgte arbeidene skal vise ulike prosesser/forskjellig type arbeid fra studentens arbeidsrekke gjennom emnet. Prosessboka skal dokumentere prosesser og samtlige teknikker som er utført i løpet av semesteret

Ny eksamen: Studenten må omarbeide de deler som har fått «ikke bestått».

Grading scale

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

Examiners

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.
