Course content

The course is part of the professional education courses in the 5-year-integrated master study programmes for teacher education, and is one of four courses students take in subject didactics.

The course covers topics relating to teaching and to students' learning. Learning comprises both cognitive, bodily, aesthetic and creative learning processes. The learning process is also affected by affective aspects, such as motivation, attitudes, identity and emotions.

The course gives students a basis for planning, carrying out, evaluating and reflecting on teaching, based on academic and experience-based knowledge and theory. Knowledge about and insight into subject-didactical theory and research provides students with the competencies they need in order to improve their own practice as well as the school's activities.

Learning outcome

Knowledge

The student

  • has knowledge about the development of the subject area within school, culture and research
  • has broad knowledge of the subject's current curriculum
  • has knowledge about different theoretical perspectives and relevant research relating to teaching, learning and use of learning strategies in the subject
  • has knowledge about student diversity and cross-curricular cooperation
  • has knowledge about subject-specific integration of basic skills

Skills

The student

  • can utilize and relate to the current curriculum in planning and carrying out the teaching
  • can plan and manage teaching on different learning arenas
  • can plan and carry out varied approaches to teaching, which lead to good learning processes
  • can exercise professional digital competence in the effort of promoting effective learning
  • can justify the importance of the subject as a school subject, as well as justify the subject's social relevance
  • can use academic literature and other relevant sources of information to structure and formulate written and oral professional argumentation and reasoning related to relevant subject-didactical questions

General competence

The student

  • can reflect on and discuss professional, subject-didactical and ethical questions
  • can, based on research, theory and experience, analyse and develop own practice in the meeting with future pupils' qualifications, interests and needs

Learning methods and activities

The course is the first part of subject didactics within the 5-year-programme, and the teaching takes place in the autumn term.

Realization of the course objectives requires an interplay between subject disciplinary competence, teaching competence, acquisition of subject didactical theories and terminologies as well as reflection on own teaching practice and cooperation with the practice schools. The students will experience a variation of teaching methods and activities, and also different learning arenas.

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. A minimum of 75 % attendance is hence required to be allowed to sit the exam in the course. 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 hence important not only for own learning, but also for peers' and colleagues' professional development.

Compulsory assignments

  • Courseworks for guideance
  • 75% participation in teaching

Further on evaluation

In the event of a failure of the "Courseworks" evaluation, this can be delivered as a rectified version on more time.
