Carpentry@Oslo Study Group

Carpentry@UiO

Carpentry@UiO teaches foundational coding and data science skills to researchers.

CodeRefinery offers training opportunities to researchers from Nordic research groups and projects to learn basic-to-advanced research computing skills and become confident in using state-of-the-art tools and practices from modern collaborative software engineering. CodeRefinery workshops are recommended to those who already attended Carpentries workshops or researchers who write codes (any programming languages) for conducting their research work.

Motivation and Demotivation
Session leader: Annika Rockenberger

Topic: Instructor Development Session: Motivation and Demotivation
- Who: all Carpentries@UiO instructors
- When: 25th April 2023
- Time: 13:00-14:00
- Location: Digital Scholarship Center - Oasen
What’s happening?

We read the episode Motivation and Demotivation from the Carpentries Instructor Training material and do a couple of the exercises.

“Teaching and learning are not the same process. […] An instructor can make choices that facilitate the cognitive processes necessary for learning to occur. But any technique can fall flat when learners are not motivated. Worse, demotivation is contagious! Teaching or sharing a classroom with demotivated learners is not fun or rewarding. It can be tempting, especially for teachers facing burnout after strenuous and ineffectual effort, to blame learners for spoiling the classroom experience.”

- Location: Digital Scholarship Center - Oasen
What’s happening?

We work together improving the Data Carpentry: Social Sciences and Humanities Using R workshop, with a focus on the framing of the data, i.e. how the dataset is described and introduced to both instructors and learners.

Join if you are interested in lesson development and Data Carpentry for Social Sciences and Humanities!

It’s recommended to have familiarized oneself with the lesson content: Data Carpentry: Social Sciences and taken a look into the lesson development material from The Carpentries.
