I am pleased to announce that we have just been approved for funding from the Utforsk program (Norwegian Directorate of Higher Education and Skills) for a 4-year project that will lead to closer cooperation and development of opportunities for a shared PhD/EdD doctoral program between Bergen and Hong Kong.
Global Competence and Research-Based Practice in a Doctoral and Postgraduate Partnership (Project
number UTF-2021/10057) will “strengthen cooperation and quality of doctoral and postgraduate education between Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL) and
Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) by developing mechanisms for student
exchange, 2 COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) courses and 2
new joint courses from each partner, co-authoring of research, and
co-supervision of dissertations, all with an emphasis on 'Global Competence' and research-based practice, and leading to design of a "sandwich" (shared) doctoral degree in
Education. Through intensive Research & Writing Workshops, and application
of innovative pedagogies, the project will upgrade teaching while boosting
research outcomes.”
Six goals
aligned with UTFORSK’s Results Framework (URF) will be achieved: 1) Establish
detailed institutional agreement and exchange plan for teachers, 8 doctoral students and 5 master students, 2) Modify 2 existing courses from each institution for COIL (online)
format, and develop 2 new joint courses at each institution, thereby
strengthening doctoral studies through sharing of 8 courses, 3) Integrate
research-based Global Competence modules, taught as a pedagogical mentorship
for doctoral students, 4) Develop Doctor of Education (EdD)/PhD "sandwich" degree partnership based on shared COIL courses, new joint courses, Research & Writing
Workshops, and co-supervision of theses, 5) Strengthen research collaboration
and publish outcomes (6 refereed articles/chapters by end of project), 6) Apply
methods developed through this project to strengthen education in other
partnerships (Norhed, Nordplus, Erasmus).
