Perspectives on Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods, 7.5 HE credits (Perspektiv på kvantitativ och kvalitativ forskning)
In the module, both qualitative and quantitative research methods are covered. Students also review essays with consideration to scientific theoretical and research methodical perspectives. Furthermore, theory of knowledge and social-science research methods in relation to the field of educational science are covered.
Data Collection, Analysis and Presentation of Research Results, 7.5 HE credits (Insamling och analys av data samt presentation av forskningsresultat)
In the module, students practise collection and analysis of various types of data as well as presentation of research results. Module two is completed with a minor essay for a planned essay project.
Teaching and working methods
The teaching takes the form of lectures, seminars, independent work and group assignments, both physically and via a web-based learning management system. In addition to scheduled time, the student is expected to carry out independent studies.
Examination
The course is examined through course assignments established in the study guide .
Applies to all courses regardless of grading scale.
- Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course two times are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.
If the course has a three-graded grading scale (U - VG), following applies:
- Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.
If the course is a VfU course, the following applies:
- Examination of applied social and didactic abilities is limited to three (3) occasions.
Grades
Three-grade scale, U, G, VGOther information
Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus.
The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
