Course content
The course is the first meeting with the professional education courses in the 5-year-integrated master study programmes for teacher education and is the first of three courses in Educational Theory.
The course is based on real-life situations from the classroom, with a primary focus on secondary school students. The teacher students will develop an understanding of practical and theoretical perspectives on knowledge, teaching and bildung. Important topics throughout the course are teaching, building relationships within a school context, classroom management, and learning environment, as well as initial insight into young students’ rights and the public school’s mandate within the Norwegian society.
Throughout the course, the teacher students will build a foundation for further development of their individual teacher identity by using theoretical language when talking, reading, and writing about the teacher profession. Furthermore, the teacher students will practice critical reflection over their role as a teacher, especially in connection to their teaching practice.

Learning methods and activities
The subject is taught in the autumn semester for students of Geography, Physical Education/Sports, English, French, Spanish and German, and in the spring semester for students of Sciences, History, Social Studies, and Nordic Languages.
The learning activities will vary between teachings in full classes or in seminar groups. To develop the teacher students’ pedagogical knowledge, skills, and general competences, the teachings will especially focus on varied types of activities linked to the teacher students’ practice.A certification responsibility has been ascribed to NTNU, to ensure that students master key competences for their future profession as teachers for grades 8-13. It is essential that students develop into independent and responsible teachers who are able to cooperate with peer students and future colleagues. Personal effort is important not only for own learning, but also for peers' and colleagues' professional development. A minimum of 75 % attendance is hence required to be allowed to sit the exam in the course. All obligatory activities must be approved before students can sit the exams.

Further on evaluation
The assignment can be written in Norwegian, Swedish, or Danish.
To obtain an overall passing grade, all individual parts must obtain a passing grade. A student who has not obtained an overall passing grade due to failing one of the partial assessments, needs to sit a new exam only in the failed partial assessment. The same rule applies for resit of a passing grade. The student can file a complaint only when the overall grade for the course has been announced. Provided that the student has accomplished both parts of the course, the student can choose to file a complaint also for individual parts of the overall course grade. There cannot be an appeal against the grade in the oral exam. See course schedule and a document describing the R&D-project for a more detailed description of the assessment in the course.
