LH220V Project in Educational Science 4.5 credits

The aim of the course is that the course participants should present an
individual assignmnent that treats education and teaching within their
own knowledge field related to relevant educational theory of science
and research.

The general aim of the course is that the course participants should be
able to -- by taking educational science as their starting point --
analyse their teachers' practice, develop a reflective attitude towards
their role as a teacher and relate education and teaching within their
own field to theory and research in educational science.
On completion of the course, the course participant should be able to
• carry out studies connected to students' learning within higher
education and argue for appropriate measures to an increased quality of
education based on current educational theory of science, literature and
research,
• search, collect and autonomously evaluate relevant literature and
research in the area
• make an elaborated choice of method of study and highlight the
strengths and weaknesses of the method and analyse it from an ethical
perspective,
• critically discuss their own and others' results and conclusions from
an educational science perspective
• present studies within the educational science field both orally and
in a way that allows publishing.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

The course is examined through the following parts:
1. SEM1 - seminars that are examined through written reflections and
active participation (1.5 credits)
