Content

The placement in schools lasts 3 - 5 weeks, depending on the kind of research or project the student wants to carry out. The students will be placed in a nursery, primary or secondary school in accordance with the focus of their training requirements. Language skills will also be considered. Stavanger is an international town with International schools besides the Norwegian school system. This makes it possible to offer placements where students can use both English and Norwegian language. The kind of work will also differ from teaching practice to observations and other kinds of field work.

The students will get supervision. There will be arranged seminars at the University College in which they can reflect and analyse their learning experiences in the classroom/nursery. These seminars, lead by a tutor, also prepare students for writing the final assignment. This assignment can be a research report / a personal memoir of teaching experiences / or article.
