Course content

The course treats the workplace as arena for learning, based on both research and practice. The research perspective is based on theories and current research about workplace learning, and its conditions, as it is represented in literature and periodical articles. The practical perspective is based in part on projects that are carried out in different activities of companies and organisations, and in part on the students' own experiences of working in project form to reflect on workplace learning.

Teaching and working methods

The teaching takes the form of lectures and seminars. Project as a working method will be used in the course.
