Job Description

Licentiate in Pedagogy - DNS in Cooperation with One World University

Through this program we dare to look at the problems and big issues of our present time right in the eye, understanding the forces and politics at play. We
dare to dream and envision a future for `We the People´ and try to point to modern, lively, inclusive and sustainable ways and solutions.

Bringing up and instructing children and youth to learn the skills and acquire the knowledge and wisdom they need to carry the future of humanity is no
small task. Teachers are needed who know their trade, who possess a modern perspective of today’s world, and who are willing to push the boundaries
of tradition in search of ways and means of teaching and learning that will genuinely provide the new generations with the practical tools, the ethics and
the human qualities they require to be able to take on life; as individuals, as progressive citizens of their country and as modern inhabitants and caretakers
of the globe and its beings.

The aim of the OWU Licentiate Degree in Pedagogy is to train such teachers. The program lasts three years and is carried out in cooperation with One
World University in Mozambique, leading to what corresponds to a Bachelor of Arts degree at a western university. The program takes you through three
practice fields, each lasting one year: The International Practice Field, the National Practice Field and the School Practice Field. Throughout the program,
you will work and study in a dialectic process between theory and practice. You will use the real world as your training ground, and people from many
nations and all walks of life will be your teachers. You will acquaint yourself with the world by travelling in it and investigating its conditions, using an old
bus as your pedagogical machine. Later, you will move to a city, get employment as an unskilled worker, and study the national reality, learning from your
workmates and neighbours, who are also the parents of the children whom you will teach. In the third year, you will work as a substitute teacher, putting
the pedagogical theories you have learned to the test and trying out and investigating how children learn and what they should learn – content and
methods – using all your experiences from the first two years of the program, and building your own foundation as a teacher, cooperating closely with
the parents, and finding out how you can widen your practice to the wider community around the school, using your surplus to initiate both practical
improvements as well as cheerful and relevant doings together with the people around you. Throughout the program, you will be working and
collaborating intensely in a collective setting with your teachers and teammates; sharing what you learn, studying, learning, discussing and concluding
together, thus intensifying each element of the program and getting much more out of it then you would have done alone.
