Basic Studies in Education

Professional Teacher Education in the Digital Era -programme includes studies in educational sciences: Understanding Learning (6 ECTS) and the Future of Education (6 ECTS).

If you wish, you can study these courses independently during the summer, starting from June 3rd, 2024. You can find the courses and instructions in Moodle workspace. Please note that the teacher educators are on summer break during the summer and guidance is not available during June and July 2024.

Some of the teacher education courses can be substituted i.e. credits transferred. There are different ways for credit transfer, which are described in the Study Guide (will be published in the beginning of June 2024). 

Credit transfer is based on an application either for the substitution, inclusion or recognition of prior learning. These credit transfer possibilities will be explained further in the first face-to-face session on Aug 27th – 28th, 2024.

However, credit transfer for Basic Studies in Education offered by Jamk (Understanding Learning 6 cr and The Future of Education 6 cr) will be recorded by the student services in a student’s study register Peppi during September 2024, if a student has attached either of the following documents to his/ her application:
          1) a certificate of previous university studies either on Basic Studies in Education, Adult Education or Vocational Pedagogy worth 25 credit points (equivalent to 15 credit units) completed according to the degree requirements of a Finnish university or
          2) a recognition decision by the Finnish National Agency for Education with a requirement to study 15-20 credits’ didactical and teaching practice studies.
