Specific entry requirements
English 6 (or by other approved means with the equivalent proficiency level)Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Course specific prerequisites
The courses Mathematics, teaching and assessment (MVE375) and The purpose and conditions of education (CIU221). Knowledge of sustainable development corresponding to Chalmers local requirements for environment and sustainable development (MHU).Aim
Students should develop their ability to plan and carry out courses, lessons and activities in their scientific or technical subject in relation to formal course/subject requirements and deliberate educational choices in a way that support learning among all pupils and make equal and legal assessment and grading possible.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- plan teaching that supports students' learning in physics, chemistry or technology at upper secondary school level based on subject syllabi, relevant sources and conscious pedagogical choices
- design assessments in physics, chemistry or technology at the upper secondary school level that create conditions for equal and legal grading
- reflect on their subject competence and their educational development needs
- plan teaching in physics, chemistry or technology at upper secondary school level based on sustainable development
Content
The course covers the following themes:- Planning and implementing teaching (in chemistry, physics or technology).
- Assessing and grading learning (in chemistry, physics or technology).
- Practically oriented pedagogical content knowledge for chemistry, physics and technology.
- Assessment and development of one's own capabilities.
- Education for sustainable development.
A greater part of the activities of the course are contextualised in the introductory chemistry, physics and technology courses at the upper secondary school level. Overall, the emphasis in the course is on practical rather than theoretical dimensions, even if some theoretical perspectives are covered.
Organisation
Since students with different subjects (Chemistry, Physics or Technology) take part in the course, it is structured around a combination of seminars attended by everyone and subject specific assignments and lessons. The subject specific lessons are to a large extent conducted with the help of practicing upper secondary school teachers or in some cases people with other relevant competencies.Literature
Always published at the course homepage (course PM) at least eight weeks before the start of the course in line with Chalmers' regulations.Examination including compulsory elements
The course is examined through a series of assignments that are presented orally, practically and/or in writing. Participation is mandatory during the subject didactic in-depth sessions as well as the oral examinations. In order to pass the course all assignments must be completed.Observe that to be able to register for the course Learning and leadership in practice 2 (CIU212) one needs to have passed this course.
The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
