| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||
| This course is jointly organised by KVL, KU and RUC and aims at 1) Familiarising students with theoretical as well as methodological approaches to interdisciplinary studies, 2) Ensuring student exposure to a wide spectrum of methods from both natural and social sciences, and 3) Providing students with the experience of working with developing country counterparts. It constitutes the first part of the mandatory Theme course for KVL students enrolled in Agricultural Development (Theme A). | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||
| In the past decade, it has become increasingly recognised that many land use and natural resource management issues in developing countries are best approached interdisciplinary. The central theme in the course is learning and using interdisciplinary methods and theoretical approaches through problem-oriented field work in a developing country in collaboration with local counterparts. Close co-operation with local students will ensure exposure to working in an inter-cultural environment. The course includes training in analysing and developing project proposals; planning and conducting field work; selection and application of data collection methods (e.g. questionnaire design, interview techniques, biological sampling methods); data recording and processing; and writing field reports. This will allow students to participate effectively in interdisciplinary assignments in developing countries, and serve as a basis for understanding strengths and weaknesses of each student's own discipline, including comparative advantages of academic disciplines relevant to natural resource management in developing countries. The SLUSE programme at KVL, KU and RUC have since 1998 carried out interdisciplinary field courses in collaboration with university counterparts in Malaysia, Thailand and southern Africa. | |||||||||||||||||
