Voksnes læring og læringskultur er det andre av tre emner for studentene som ønsker å fordype seg i voksnes læring av tegnspråk som andrespråk. Alle tre emnene sees i sammenheng og vil i stor grad bygge på hverandre. Undervisningen baserer seg på variert metodebruk, med stor egenaktivitet fra studentenes side. I undervisningen inngår forelesninger og diskusjonsgrupper og deltakelse i både synkrone og asynkrone digitale fora.

Arbeidet med praktiske eksempler vil stå sentralt, både i undervisningen og i refleksjonstekstene. Eksemplene vil i vesentlig grad være relatert til konkrete opplærings- og praksisfelter, men også til relevante erfaringer i eget liv. Det er et mål å bruke eksempler og erfaringer med bred relevans slik at tverrfaglig samarbeid stimuleres når det arbeides med eksempler eller case.

Læringsressurser

Læringsressursene i studiet er en kombinasjon av faglig lesestoff, forelesninger, gruppesamtaler (inkludert elektronisk fagforum), egenproduserte notater og veiledning. Disse faglige ressursene skal til sammen danne et allsidig ressursgrunnlag for studentens individuelle læringsprosesser.

Forelesningene er ikke ment å skulle "dekke" pensum, men er supplementer og komplementer til de øvrige læringsressursene.

The candidate writes an individual essay of between 4000 - 6000 words. It can be written in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English. The essay must be related to relevant themes in the course syllabus. The theme of the essay shall be approved by the course coordinator in advance. The essay must be submitted within six weeks after the course.

New and postponed examination

If an essay cannot be passed, the candidate must submit one revised version within a given deadline.

The learning outcomes serve as criteria for assessments. The grades are "pass" or "fail".

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

Target Group

The target group is PhD candidates / students who plan to conduct Action Research projects and want to learn more about epistemology, methodology and ethics related to their own work
