TEGN1300 Sign Language and Sign Languaging 2 Course description

OsloMet has an extensive international network that includes cooperation partnerships in doctoral programmes and research projects in the health sciences. The Faculty of Health Sciences will place emphasis on inviting health science researchers from foreign institutions to give lectures.

OsloMet will encourage candidates to conduct some of the work on their thesis through collaboration with international research communities. Candidates may earn up to 5 credits for undertaking research stays abroad. Such research stays must be academically relevant and must last for at least 2 weeks. Up to 1 credit per week may be awarded, and a stay of 5 weeks may therefore be awarded 5 credits. Candidates are required to give at least one presentation of their research to their host institution during their stay. An agreement must be made to ensure that candidates participate in an active research community at the host institution and that they are provided with the necessary infrastructure to do so.

Candidates are expected to present their research at an international scientific conference.The midway presentation of the thesis must ideally be conducted in English. All teaching and supervision in connection with the PhD programme may also be conducted in English if necessary.

Examination and grading systems

Assessment of examinations in the training component will be conducted in accordance with the provisions regarding examinations and cheating in the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet; see the PhD Regulations, section 4-3.

All examinations in the training component will be specified on the certificate.

The forms of assessment for courses PHVIT9100 to PHVIT9600 (except PHVIT9550) and the PHBA courses in the training component consist of individual home examinations, essays, or portfolio. Home examinations shall be used for the compulsory courses and the methodology courses. These are appropriate for testing candidates' knowledge, skills, and general competence under specific conditions. Home examinations are based on specific questions. Answer papers must normally contain up to 3,500 words for courses worth 5 credits, and 5,000 words for courses worth 10 credits. Essays are used for examinations in some of the elective courses and are based on a specific concept and/or theory of the candidate's choice. As a form of examination, essays are suitable for giving candidates the opportunity to critically reflect on their own research work in terms of topic, research problems, concepts, theoretical issues, and methodological and ethical challenges covered in the respective courses. Essays must consist of up to 5,000 words and must be submitted no more than 2 weeks after the end of the course. The portfolio exams can consist of several individual works. For the elective course PHVIT9550, each candidate must plan and write a protocol of a systematic review based on a research question of their choice, to be submitted no more than 6 months after the first day of the course.

Grading

Assessment of PhD theses in health sciences is regulated by the PhD Regulations, sections 6-1 to 6-8 and general regulations regarding doctoral degrees at OsloMet. Supplementary guidelines for the PhD Programme in Health Sciences contain more details regarding procedures for assessing PhD theses.

Examinations are assessed by an internal examiner. All courses are graded on the basis of pass or fail.

The thesis is assessed by an assessment committee consisting of three members, two of whom are external examiners: see the PhD Regulations, section 6-3. Once the thesis is considered worthy of public defense, the candidate must deliver and receive approval of a trial lecture on a given subject and must defend the thesis in a public defense.

The degree of philosophiae doctor is conferred on the basis of

• approval of the training component
• approval of the thesis
• approval of the trial lecture on a given topic
• approval of the public defense of the thesis

Study progression

The training component must be approved by the faculty, and the work required for PHVIT9900, the thesis, must be approved before the candidate may apply to have the thesis assessed.

Approval

Approved by the Academic Affairs Committee at Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences on 16 October 2012Last amendment approved by the Vice Dean for Research and Innovation at the Faculty of Health Sciences, OsloMet, on 17. January 2025

Syllabus

Course syllabuses will be reviewed and, where necessary, updated every time they are offered. Candidates must submit a detailed list of their chosen syllabus, which must meet the specified learning outcomes for the respective courses. The candidate's chosen syllabus must be approved by the course coordinator.

Undervisningen tar utgangspunkt i arbeid med individuell og gruppevis analyse og bearbeiding av språklig materiale og foregår på norsk tegnspråk. Undervisningsformene vil være varierte. Studentaktive læringsformer har en sentral plass i undervisningen. Noe undervisning gis i form av forelesninger. 

Retten til å avlegge eksamen forutsetter godkjente arbeidskrav og deltakelse i bestemte faglige aktiviteter.

1. Gjennom studiet arbeider studentene med ulike oppgaver på tegnspråk, og som det forventes at studentene tar vare på for å følge med på egen tegnspråkutvikling. Studentene skal individuelt holde ved like en språkperm etter mal fra Europeisk språkperm (European Language Portfolio - ELP), bestående av språkpass, språkbiografi og språkmappe, og levere et skriftlig refleksjonsnotat på 1250 ord +/- 10 % om dette arbeidet etter nærmere retningslinjer gitt av faglærer. Mer informasjon om Europeisk språkperm gis ved studiestart.

Arbeidskravet skal bidra til å sikre læringsutbyttet knyttet til refleksjon over og analyse av egen tegnspråklig praksis. 

2. Studentene skal i gruppe på inntil tre studenter gjennomføre en analyse av en tegnspråklig tekst i samråd med faglærer. Omfanget av den innleverte teksten vil avhenge av fokuset for analysen og fastsettes av faglærer.

Arbeidskravet skal bidra til å sikre læringsutbyttet knyttet til transkripsjoner og annoteringer av tekster på norsk tegnspråk.

3. Studentene skal levere en individuell skriftlig hjemmeoppgave på 1250 ord +/- 10 %. Temaet skal være godkjent av faglærer på forhånd og leveres innen en dato fastsatt av faglærer. Oppgaven vurderes som godkjent / ikke godkjent. Arbeidskravet skal bidra til å sikre læringsutbyttet knyttet til et eller flere av emnets kunnskapsmål. 

Se programplan for generell informasjon om arbeidskrav.

Krav om deltakelse

Det er krav om 80% tilstedeværelse i emnet. Se programplan for mer informasjon om krav om deltakelse.

Eksamen er en individuell innlevering bestående av en sammenstilling av et utvalg egne oppgaver som studenten har samlet i sin språkperm - med tanke på å illustrere egen språkutvikling. I tillegg skal det leveres en individuell refleksjon over sammenstillingen og egen språkutvikling på norsk tegnspråk spilt inn på video med lengde 15 minutter +/- 10 %.

Eksamensspråk er norsk tegnspråk.

Ny/utsatt eksamen foregår som ordinær eksamen.

Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt så lenge regler for kildehenvisning følges.

Gradert skala A-F
