Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course is based on participation in a number of higher seminars that are offered by the HCI-group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Before each seminar, the student reads distributed materials in the form of research articles and/or book chapters.
After each seminar, the student writes a page in their reflection diary. To complete the course, the student submits a report that is based on the texts of the reflection diary, demonstrating a clear connection to their own studies and prospective degree project.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student should be able to:
- read and critically review published research material
- critically reflect on how the research influences and is influenced by social, economic, environmental, work environmental conditions, as well as sustainability, diversity, equality, and equal rights
- relate ongoing research to their own education and conducted projects
- reflect on the choice of research questions, theories and methods when planning a research project (such as for example the degree project)
- write a research report that is correctly formated and structured according to established practices in human computer interaction
- identify knowledge contributions both in others' and their own work
in order to:
- be able to absorb current research in human computer interaction
- be able to plan own research projects, such as degree projects, in Human-Computer Interaction.
