Fagartikkelen vurderes av to interne sensorer (emneansvarlig og en vitenskapelig ansatt tilknyttet ph.d.-programmet).

Emnet er et 5 studiepoengs valgfritt emne i ph.d.-studiet i utdanningsvitenskap for lærerutdanning, men er også åpent for andre ph.d.-kandidater og for vitenskapelig tilsatte. Emnet er rettet mot studenter som ønsker en fordypning i yrkesdidaktiske problemstillinger knyttet til utdanningsvitenskap for lærerutdanning i et internasjonalt perspektiv.

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

Krav til opptak er fullført femårig masterutdanning (integrert, eller treårig + toårig på totalt 300 studiepoeng) innen lærerutdanning, annen pedagogisk utdanning, utdanningsvitenskap, utviklingsstudier, samfunnsvitenskap eller andre relevante fagområder knyttet til ph.d.- programmet. Mastergraden skal inneholde et større selvstendig arbeid tilsvarende masteroppgave (minimum 30 studiepoeng). Utenlandsk avsluttet mastergrad som tilsvarer minst fire år i det norske utdanningssystemet kan vurderes for opptak (sjekk immatrikuleringsgrunnlag på nettside for Direktorat for høyere utdanning og kompetanse). https://hkdir.no/utdanning-fra-utlandet/lister-og-databaser/generell-studiekompetanse-gsu

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.

The course is organized as a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) module where students from OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University and Gallaudet University (in the USA) participate. The course topics will be taught as weekly activities that includes use of digital learning tools as well as online interaction and cooperation in both international sign and written English between students from both universities.

The language of instruction and interaction among students is International Sign. Variants of international sign is also used in the video resources. All reading materials and written course resources are in English. No interpreting between any (spoken or signed) languages will be provided, since a part of the learning outcome is to obtain skills to communicate in international sign.

The student must have the following coursework requirements accepted before examination.

• A minimum of 80 % participation is required.
• The students must be prepared for participation in the weekly asynchronous and synchronous teaching activities by completing the tasks given every week. The tasks include online discussions in International Sign and English with students from the other university, viewing and analyzing various video resources, use of digital learning tools, explorations and expansions of personal communication repertoires and development of visual information related to the course content.

Attendance is mandatory because of the course’s collaborative and interactive feature, where the students are mutually dependent on each other’s presence and participation in order to complete the course’s work tasks. Participation is also necessary in order to develop and demonstrate the skills that are described under the learning outcome section.

Students who are prevented from meeting the coursework requirements within the fixed deadlines due to illness or other valid and documented reasons, may be given a new deadline. A new deadline is in each case given by the course teacher.

Coursework requirements are evaluated accepted/not accepted. Students who submit their coursework requirements within the set deadline, but get evaluated as not accepted, are entitled to a maximum of two new attempts to fulfil the requirements. A new deadline for meeting the coursework requirements is in each individual case given by the teacher.

The final assessment will be an individual, recorded and edited 6-8 minute signed presentation of a topic given by the course instructors. The topic given will require that the students take an in-depth cross-cutting analysis of the themes of this course. The student may choose which signed language they wish to use in this assignment.

New/postponed exam

A new/postponed exam will be in the same format as the ordinary exam. The presentation may be adjusted to the first new exam. To the second new exam a new presentation must be made.

Rights and obligations in connection with exams

The students’ rights and obligations are set out in the Regulations Relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet. It is the students’ responsibility to register for any new/postponed exams.

All kinds of examination support material is permitted.

A grade scale with A being the highest grade and E the poorest pass grade is used. The grade F means that the student has failed the exam.

The presentation will be evaluated by one internal examiner from each of the universities where the students are enrolled. An external programme supervisor is affiliated with the course in accordance with the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet.
