About this course

The subject of pedagogy is a subject of culture and science that connects history, culture, views on life and politics. The core of the subject includes perspectives on how upbringing and teaching can contribute to students' identity development, formation, and learning, in an increasingly knowledge-intensive society. At NMBU, the subject of pedagogy is linked to the teacher education's vision of Education for Sustainable Development, with emphasis on student perspectives. With this, emphasis is placed on how the teacher in teaching can contribute to the students developing both as individuals, fellow human beings and active participants in democracy and social development. The subject is linked to legislation and curricula for the education. The subject must support the student's development of their own teacher identity, based on professional ethics principles.

The student must show the ability to critically analyze the role of the teacher and the school's activities. The subject of pedagogy is anchored in the Education Act, the regulations of the education and curriculum. In the study, the student must prepare to deal with challenges and opportunities that lie in the use of multicultural learning arenas to promote cooperation, diversity, citizenship, and life skills. Central to the subject is also developing students' relational skills. These skills will strengthen students' ability to build a constructive and inclusive learning environment. They will also strengthen their ability to meet students, parents, and colleagues with professional and interpersonal skills. The course pedagogy will contribute to the student experiencing progression, wholeness, and coherence in the study.
