Course content
The course will be offered at irregular intervals and will deal with specific issues and methods which, for various reasons, are particularly relevant within teaching profession and school research.
Theme, approach and course coordinator may vary. A separate course description will be created for each time a specific theme is offered within the framework of this course code. The course may take place in autumn and/or spring, but only after special announcement. Participants in the course are required to write an individual assignment related to the specific course theme, which they also can relate to their own PhD project. The students may be required/expected to make use of their own empirical material in the coursework or individual assignment.

Learning methods and activities
The course will be based on lectures, seminars, and discussions, but other activities and methods of learning may be relevant. The course will be taught in a Nordic language or in English.
Compulsory activities
Seminar attendance, presentations and active participation in discussions are required to pass the course.
Compulsory activities from previous semester may be approved by the department.

Further on evaluation
The exam is an individual assignment of 4,500-5,000 words on a freely chosen topic within the course theme, and which may (but not necessarily) build a bridge to one's own PhD thesis.
The assignment cannot be used as a part of the doctoral thesis. The assignment can lean upon knowledge derived from work on the doctoral thesis, but the text cannot be transferred directly to the monograph, thesis cape or thesis articles.
Required previous knowledge

Admission restrictions*: The course is limited to a maximum of 25 students, where 6 spots are reserved for applicants from other institutions affiliated with NorTED (www.nor-ted.com). If there are less than 5 applicants, the Department of Teacher Education reserves the right to cancel the course.
