Course content

The bachelor thesis gives students the opportunity to immerse themselves in vocational issues and develop and test teaching in their school practice. Professional practice can also provide the opportunity for professional deepening and data collection. The course should provide a basis for mapping, implementing, documenting and evaluating development and change work in schools and companies. The candidate will develop a change and development competence which means being able to contribute to professional and educational development and to be able to participate in and lead development projects. This competence also includes being able to assess the status and development of the subjects and the teaching profession in relation to the development of society.

The bachelor thesis is carried out as a group work with 3 participants, unless there are no specific reasons to deviate from this. It is also possible to form groups across the fields of study
