Collaborating with the pupils, apprentices involve competence in seeing the need to adapt training, differentiation of interests, use guidance strategies, and various forms of assessment that promote learning. Development and use of digital competence as well as an overview and insight into relevant research. The course aims to map, plan, and facilitate a Research and Development work that will be important for one's own school in a holistic development context.

Learning methods and activities

The teaching alternates between presentations, discussions, and practical exercises. The course is a collection-based course. In the intervening periods, we will work with work requirements and use online resources. Guidance is attached to all work requirements between the sessions and at the sessions.

• Compulsory assignment 2

Further on evaluation

Compulsory activities Work requirements 1 In a group of 2-3, students must familiarize themselves with relevant research and current literature that is emphasized in the course. Presentation of a summary to be shared with fellow students. Present how you collaborate with students, colleagues and companies on assessment, documentation and guidance in building and construction technology. Experience sharing at the collection. Assessment: Pass / Fail. Work requirement 2 includes a sketch that describes how you will map, plan and describe the implementation, assessment and documentation of a Research and Development work to be carried out in the second year of study. In this work requirement, the use of digital tools in the presentation of the sketch will be emphasized. Students justify and elaborate on their choices for fellow students based on management documents and relevant theory. The work requirement is a preliminary project for the second year of study. Assessment: Pass / Fail. Examination The examination includes the submission of a final written sketch which provides an overview and insight into how the R&D work in the second year of study is to be implemented and carried out. Planning the methods you want to use in your data collection in the R&D work is presented and anchored in relevant theory. The exam paper can be completed as group work, with 2-3 participants per group. Written sketch documenting the work must have a scope of 4000-5000 words. Guidance is given on this work.
