Fasilitering av opprykksprosessen: Veiledningsformer og erfaringer
The chapter presents experiences derived from the facilitating program for associate professors seeking promotion as qualified docents (professors) at the University of Agder. Two participants from the docent seminar program describe and assess the academic advisement they received. The advisors and program supervisors describe the theoretical framework as well as how the process unfolded. Finally, the authors discuss the role academic advisement plays and its importance in facilitating the docent promotion process for the candidates.
På bakrommet til sakkyndige bedømmelsesutvalg. En kamp om å fortolke kriteriene
This chapter offers outsiders a view of what goes on when a committee of experts assesses a candidate’s application for promotion to docent. The authors discuss various interpretations of the criteria a candidate must fulfill to attain promotion and the fact that different committees employ different interpretations. Some analytical questions and predetermined assumptions are used as reflective tools to analyze the experiences in six cases. In closing, the chapter offers some recommendations to the parties involved in various levels of the docent path: academic institutions and their administrations, members of assessment committees and the docent candidates themselves.
Planlegging, gjennomføring og evaluering av en seminarrekke for dosentkandidater
This chapter presents a template developed for a facilitating seminar program for candidates seeking to become docents. The processes of planning, implementing, and evaluating the offered program are described. Dilemmas associated with academic advisement and other participatory dilemmas, as well as management’s choices and institutional embeddedness, are also discussed. The implemented seminar program is a pioneer project. Thus, it is encouraging that both the participants and management assessed the project so positively.
