SKUT4341 Fagfordypning i musikk og musikkdidaktikk 1 Emneplan

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• Students must give a presentation lasting 15-30 minutes (individually or as part of a group) of an article, chapter in a book etc. at a plenary session during the course.
• Students must individually submit a 1-page / approx. 450-word preliminary description of their master’s thesis research topic.
• 80 % attendance requirement (see the programme description for more information).

The purpose of the coursework requirement is to ensure all students begin the work of articulating their master’s research topic, to receive feedback about it, and to support the future preparation of full research project descriptions.

The purpose of the oral presentation is to encourage students to engage in more oral activity and improve their oral presentation skills, and to present the academic content to fellow students and the lecturer(s) in an organised and effective manner. The oral presentation is intended to help the students to acquire the skills specified in the learning outcomes for the course.

This course is grounded in the ongoing crises of development, education, and climate change, and the associated need to understand these phenomena and their possible transformation. The broad focus is on struggles for greater equality and justice across these dimensions. This focus includes struggles at multiple levels of scale, across different contexts, with attention to the history and causes of existing crises; their global North-South dimension; and key points of contestation. The course will elaborate theories on inequality and injustice, including theories of power, power structures, and resistance. This work examines the structural dynamics and agents involved in such struggles, and the potentials for agents of change to advance more just and equal futures. These include old and new social movements, how they relate to established power holders and institutions of power, and explorations of education as a site of social reproduction, contestation, and potential transformation.

Det benyttes en gradert karakterskala fra A til E for bestått og F for ikke bestått eksamen.
