LT202X Degree Project in Subject-Based Teaching and Learning, Second Cycle 15.0 credits

The course consists of independently designing, documenting, and completing a project. This implies deciding on a research question, systematically collecting data, analysing and processing the question using scientific methodology, and presenting this piece of work. The work should display the ability to systematically reflect on knowledge that is related to the future profession.

On completion of the course, the student is expected to have the ability to independently

- formulate a scientific research question within the education sciences, related to the teaching of technology, mathematics or natural sciences

- use relevant knowledge and skills acquired in the study programme, choose suitable scientific methods, and justify these choices

- within given frameworks, even with limited information, examine, analyse and discuss complex issues, as well as deal with more advanced problems within his/her area of teaching

- reflect on, evaluate and critically review the scientific results of his/her own work and that of others

- formulate relevant and justified conclusions with reference to earlier research

- reflect on his/her newly acquired knowledge in relation to the teaching mission, as well as to previous courses and professional or vocational experience

- document and present his/her work to a given target group,with high expectations on structure, formatting and language

- identify his/her need for additional knowledge and continuously develop his/her competence
