“…Vurderingen av bacheloroppgaven ble fokusert på i studiene til Lundgren et al (2008) og Rye (2014). Lundgren et al fant stort sett overensstemmelse mellom veiledernes og sensorers vurderinger av bacheloroppgaver i sykepleierutdanningen, mens studien til Rye viste til dels store sprik i ulike sensorers vurderinger av bacheloroppgaver i sosiologifaget.…”

Bacheloroppgaven -hvordan skal denne sjangeren forstås?En undersøkelse av bacheloroppgavens rammebetingelser Ingrid StockInstitutt for språk og litteratur Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU) ingrid.stock@ntnu.no SAMMENDRAG I kjølvannet av Kvalitetsreformen ble bacheloroppgaven innført på flere universiteter og høyskoler for å styrke bachelorgraden. I noen fag er oppgaven en helt ny sjanger som har ført til en del usikkerhet både blant faglaerere og studenter. Denne artikkelen undersøker og diskuterer sjangeren bacheloroppgaven og dens muligheter. Gjennom en kvalitativ innholdsanalyse av emnebeskrivelser og andre dokumenter fra Det humanistiske fakultetet på NTNU undersøker jeg hvordan bacheloroppgaven beskrives, hvilket laeringsutbytte som er tilsiktet, og hvilke laeringsaktiviteter som skal føre til ønsket resultat. Undersøkelsen viser stor variasjon mellom de ulike fagene. Samtidig ser det ut som om bacheloroppgaven stort sett forstås som et selvstendig, vitenskapelig arbeid hvor det legges stor vekt på utvikling av forsker-og skrivekompetanse. Ved hjelp av faglitteratur og andre studier diskuteres resultatene, og bacheloroppgavens muligheter belyses. Slik skal denne artikkelen vaere et innspill i diskusjonen om økt kvalitet i høyere utdanning.Nøkkelord rammebetingelser, forskningsprosjekt, skrivekompetanse, faglig identitet, veiledning ABSTRACT In the wake of the Quality Reform, the bachelor thesis has been introduced in many universities and university colleges in order to strengthen the bachelor degree. However, this new genre leads to uncertainty among both teachers and students. This article investigates and discusses the bachelor thesis and its potential. Based on a qualitative content analysis of course descriptions and other documents from the Faculty of Humanities at NTNU, this paper seeks to address the following questions: How is the bachelor thesis described? What are its intended learning outcomes? What kind of learning activities are offered or required

“…Theses have been studied from different aspects, such as quality, competence, learning and content. Studies of theses in health care have measured quality of education (Kapborg & Berterö, 2002), compared grading between examiners and supervisors of Bachelor theses in nursing education (Lundgren et al, 2008), students' expectations of writing a thesis (Lundgren and Halvarsson, 2009) and health care students' conceptions of group supervision during work with Bachelor theses (Kangasniemi et al, 2011). Trends in theses in the area of distance education and combination of learning and social work education have been explored and summarized to determine the topics addressed and the designs and methods used to explore the theoretical foundations of the discipline (Drysdale et al, 2013;Davies et al, 2010;Dellgran & Höjer, 2003).…”

“…Svärd (2014) investigated whether an assessment of quality of a degree project can be used to evaluate an entire programme. On the basis of the extended literature analysis of theses, the conclusion is that the area is poorly researched (Gimenez, 2012) and a uniform pattern of what has been studied cannot be seen (Svärd, 2014;Lundgren et al, 2008). One study showed that nursing students who engaged in academic writing as part of their Bachelor's degree considered it as a learning experience and developed more insight into their own professional strengths and weaknesses (Lundgren & Halvarsson, 2009).…”

Topics and Epistemological Trends in Swedish Bachelor Theses in Radiography

When investigating the general state of radiography, an allied health care education in Sweden, one possible starting point is to conduct a review of Bachelor theses from radiography education programmes. The nature and function of the thesis can have an academic or professional perspective or a combination of both. The review of the theses can give insight into both the current state and the future of radiography. The aim of this study was to explore the contemporary theoretical, topical and methodological trends in Bachelor theses in the field of radiography. An explorative design with a qualitative approach using content analysis was employed to determine the addressed theoretical framework, topics, research questions, and designs and methods used in Bachelor theses in radiography. The theoretical framework gave the impression of a discipline with a great deal of imported knowledge, showing a theoretical pluralism. The analysis of research questions yielded four topics: evidence based care, evidence behind imaging, work environment and additional minor trends. The research designs used, involve literature review of other research and interviews. The students use qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods, whereas quality content analysis holds an exceptional position for analysis. Academically oriented theses should focus on knowledge of the subject, and it can therefore be claimed that the analysis of Bachelor theses provides a window into the state of radiography and can thereby have an impact on the development of radiography as a discipline.
