Course content

The course highlights different theories of learning, leadership and group processes based on what it means to lead a learning process. The student will study theories that highlight learning as individual and collective processes. Different forms of education and how they affect the learning process are also presented. The importance of a leader and the effects of leadership are discussed in this context. The course also covers gender and diversity aspects and the role of examination.

In addition to different theories of learning processes, the student also encounters different working methods such as lectures, role play, group assignments and seminars, and these working methods also function as course contents in relation to the aims of the course: to lead learning processes.

Teaching and working methods

The teaching takes the form of lectures, seminars, group work and applications, where students are expected to take an active role for their learning. The student is expected to come prepared to each session by, for example, reading literature, active participation in group assignments, discussing and giving constructive feedback on other students' work.

Examination

The course is examined through an individual and a group assignment. The examination assignments should be presented orally and in writing in seminars.

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 conducted in such a way that there are equal opportunities with regard to sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation and age.

If special circumstances prevail, the vice-chancellor may in a special decision specify the preconditions for temporary deviations from this course syllabus, and delegate the right to take such decisions.
