Innledning

Preparations for the course

Students are expected to read the syllabus before the first part of the course to be able to participate actively in discussions.

Work requirements

Mandatory participation at the two-days workshop in the first part of the course.

Mandatory participation at the one-day workshop in the last part of the course. External students will be given the opportunity to participate by electronic means.

Attendence

80 % attendence of the time of the course is required. If a student has attended at least 60 % of the course but less than 80 %, he/she must submit an extra paper of at least 3000 words plus reference list on a given topic.

Læringsutbytte

The student writes an individual paper (as described in the section "Teaching and working methods") of between 3000 - 5000 words plus reference liste. The paper must be written in English, Norwegian, Swedish, or Danish. The deadline for submission will be 10 days before part two of the course.

New and postponed examination

If a paper is not graded with "pass", the student must submit a revised version within a given deadline.

Innhold

In technological and scientific courses, we use mathematics to create models of reality. This enables engineers and natural scientists to calculate the outcome of complicated processes.

Among other things, the course covers mathematics for describing gas and liquid flows in process plants, and air flows in ventilation systems. The methods are also used to describe electromagnetic field propagation in the atmosphere and in conductors. Some of the techniques can be used to calculate the flow volume running through a pipe or watercourse. The Norwegian physicist Vilhelm Bjerknes was a pioneer in the use of this type of mathematics to forecast the weather.

The course deals with subjects that form part of engineering programmes all over the world. An understanding of these subjects will enable students to communicate with other engineers, to participate in professional discussions where the use of mathematics is assumed, and to read specialist literature where mathematics is used. The course also provides a formal background for continued studies leading up to a master’s degree in several fields. The course builds on Mathematics 1000 and Mathematics 2000.

The elective course is initiated provided that a sufficient number of students choose the course.

Arbeids- og undervisningsformer

The grades are "pass" or "fail". The requirement for "pass" is that the paper builds on insights from the first part of the course and outlines ideas on how an analysis and journal article can be planned on this basis. The paper must be graded «pass» in order for the student to pass the course.

Arbeidskrav og obligatoriske aktiviteter

The paper will be assessed by the course coordinator and a member of the academic staff involved in the PhD program.

Vurdering og eksamen

This PhD-course is open for students at the PhD Program in Educational Sciences for Teacher Education, other PhD students and academic staff at OsloMet and other universities and colleges.

Hjelpemidler ved eksamen

Target group

The target group is PhD students and academic staff who want to carry out a critical analysis of own data material. The course is relevant for PhD students and researchers who conduct research on almost any issue, including questions related to the welfare state, environmental issues, migration, extremism and radicalization, and any topics that are taught at school and are discussed in classrooms.

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.
