This course is offered as part of programme:
Course content
The course intends for students to develop knowledge of different theories of teaching, learning, teacher ideals, and the role of the teacher. In addition, the course intends for students to develop knowledge of qualitative research methodology as well as strengthen their skills in academic writing.
The course focuses on teaching as a practice and on what it means to be a teacher. These topics will be addressed through studies of (1) different theoretical perspectives on teaching and the role of the teacher, (2) qualitative interviews with teachers, and (3) fictional portrayals of teachers in which different approaches to teaching will be presented. Different ontological, epistemological, and ethical points of departure will be tried out and problematized through a minor empirical study.
