Nå kan vi gå tilbake til ordinær skoleeksamen, men vil vi det? 

Marcos Caballero: Integrating computation in American high schools - a tale of resourcing, federalism, and equity

Tor Ole Odden: Everything can be a vector! An approach to teaching machine learning to early physics students?

Statistics courses typically come in two different flavors: 1) A first type of course seeks deep understanding based on mathematical reasoning and proofs. 2) A second type of course focuses on practical applications, primarily based on fixed recipes without delving into underlying details. 3) I will here propose a third way, which seeks understanding of fundamental concepts, but through programming and simulation instead of mathematical proofs. This third way is thus geared towards students that have a stronger background in programming than mathematics, and that seek to understand the fundamentals as a basis for developing statistical analyses and data science methodology. This third way would also exploit its basis in programming to promote self-driven exploration, drawing inspiration from how computing has been integrated into science education through the long-running CSE initiative. I will provide examples ranging from how to explore the central limit theorem to performing Bayesian marginalization.

Bli med i vår dialog om hva det betyr å gi og få god tilbakemelding.

In this talk, I will briefly describe four different perspectives from the educational research literature on what it means to learn scientific computing: 1) modeling, 2) practices, 3) computational thinking, and 4) computational literacy.

I will also touch on the epistemologies inherent to each theory - what they have to say about scientific knowledge, cite key references, and suggest instructional approaches tailored to each approach.

Et godt læringsmiljø legger grunnlaget for læring, og gruppelærerne har en viktig rolle for å bidra til å skape dette læringsmiljøet. Nå får gruppelærerne sin egen kick-start på semesteret!

Welcome to the REAL teaching webinar!

Vi inviterer til REAL undervisning som webinar.

Beregninger i fagene endrer både faget og måten vi underviser på. Hvordan møter vi disse endringene?

This SnakkOm is about interdisciplinary education with an introductory mini-lecture on the topic, followed up by group discussions on given questions in breakout rooms and an interactive plenary session at the end.

Constructive alignment of learning aims, examination and learning activities is a convincing principle for course design. However, to make a meaningful alignment, we first need to precisely define and understand these aspects in the context of a given course. For instance, if learning aims are to truly guide/define examination and learning activities, we need a rich conception of learning aims that goes well beyond the short, general and typically vague formulations provided on course web pages. As always, devil is in the details. To initiate a discussion, I will show examples of how we have tried to face the challenge of being sufficiently concrete in our approach to constructive alignment in the course IN1000 (a large introductory programming course at UiO).

Tre av UiOs meritterte undervisere møtes til en HF:studiosamtale om erfaringer med hybridundervisning og hvordan det kan bidra til et godt læringsmiljø for studentene.

Du kan få med deg Tone Dyrdal Solbrekke som snakker om "Academic development in the tension between responsibility and accountability". 

Torsdag 13. mai arrangerer Mentimeter webinar om tema: "hvordan lage presentasjoner på unike og spennende måter". 

Selv om det er en helligdag den dagen i Norge, oppfordrer Mentimeter likevel alle som ønsker å melde seg på slik at de kan sende ut opptak av seminaret i etterkant. 

After having taught computing in a mathematical setting for many years, I have collected a number of observations and hypotheses about how students develop their understanding. In particular I have seen many examples of how computing triggers understanding of mathematical concepts. Some of these are quite standard, eg.  numerical integration as a tool to extend the understanding of the definition of the integral. In this talk I will discuss some fairly obvious examples of this kind, but I will focus on some less obvious examples. Hopefully, this will illustrate that computing can be integrated fruitfully with mathematics in areas far beyond what we do today.

In the new CompSci MSCA PhD program we will educate 32 PHD-students across the faculty. They will all have a 20 ECTS intensive introduction course in computing and data science. This will open new opportunities to develop PhD-level courses in the spirit of the CS program. I will introduce a discussion of what the contents and level of such courses should be with a particular focus on how Fys4150 and Fys-stk4155 can be adapted to students with diverse computational skills.

It would be a mistake to assume that students have learned the thing you just presented to them. Formative assessment is thus concerned with informing both the teacher and the student about how much students understand about a topic, and discover any misunderstandings.

Vi har passert et år med pandemi og primært digital undervisning. I dette seminaret ser vi fremover og spør: Hvordan vil fremtidens undervisning se ut? Har nye rutiner satt seg, og hvilke elementer fra den digitale hverdagen vil vi ta vare på?

KURT inviterer til en REAL Prat om hvordan vi kan hjelpe studentene med å utvikle seg faglig.

A central part of digitalization in Higher Education involves access to more data. This data can potentially be used to provide better outcomes for students in terms of learning. In this seminar we'll ask: How can HE institutions balance the need for better knowledge about student learning and with the duty to comply with the GDPR?
