Course history

Introduction

The course is based on lectures, self-study and study groups/group work. Presentations and discussions will be based on experience from practice-based research and action research in the workplace and organisations, as well as experience from social work and child welfare services.

Required preliminary courses

Participants will be asked to present research questions and produce research designs for studies based on practice-based research and action research. The presentations will form the basis for discussions where active participation will be expected, both in presenting one's own ideas and providing feedback on the ideas of others. The presentations must be put into writing (1-2 pages) and distributed to the teachers and other course participants by the stipulated deadline. Participation is mandatory, and candidates are expected to attend all days of teaching. A minor absence (up to 20 %) may only be accepted under certain circumstances and upon application. In the event of absences that are not approved, candidates will lose their right to have their essays assessed.

Learning outcomes

Candidates must write an essay of 8-10 pages. The essay must be handed in for assessment by the teacher responsible for the course no later than two months after teaching ends. A passed essay is a precondition for being awarded the 5 ECTS credits. If the essay is awarded a fail grade, the candidate can submit a revised essay once, by a specified deadline.

Teaching and learning methods

All examination support material is allowed as long as source reference and quotation technique requirements are applied.
