Introduction

Se omtale av praksisstudiet i programplanen. På nettsiden praksis i barnehagelærerutdanningen https://student.oslomet.no/praksis-barnehagelerer finner du praksiskalenderen, retningslinjer for praksis med mer.

Required preliminary courses

For utfyllende informasjon om progresjonskrav se i programplan for bachelorstudium i barnehagelærerutdanning, arbeidsplassbasert.

Learning outcomes

Praksisstudiet er knyttet til læringsutbyttebeskrivelsene i kunnskapsområdene og relateres til studentenes erfaringsbakgrunn og kompetanse. Se omtale av praksis i programplanen.

Content

In order to be permitted to take the exam, the following must have been approved:

  • a minimum of 90 per cent attendance in laboratory teaching
  • two (2) individual digital tests
  • individual practical test in laboratory skills, up to 2 hours

Teaching and learning methods

Praksisstudiet innhold skal gjennomføres i nært og forpliktende samarbeid mellom praksisbarnehager, praksislærere i barnehagen, studenter og faglærere på universitetet.

Course requirements

The course focuses on fundamental chemistry and the content will be presented in the context of biomedical laboratory science. An introduction is also given to chemical analysis principles that are relevant for biomedical analyses and that are seen in conjunction with quality assurance of analysis results. Laboratory-practical aspects, including safety, will be elucidated in the laboratory sessions. Knowledge of chemistry is also an important basis for understanding subjects such as physiology, biochemistry, cell biology and molecular genetics later in the programme.

Assessment

The student must have been admitted to the study programme.

Grading scale

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

  • can explain the structure of atoms and how the properties of the elements are decided by electron configurations
  • can explain the chemical structure of molecules, ions and metals by looking at the most important types of chemical bonding
  • can explain the reactivity of substances based on thermodynamic and kinetic principles
  • can explain the classification of substances in organic chemistry and how the different substances react
  • can explain the chemical and physical principles behind key chemical analysis methods
  • can explain measurement uncertainty for selected measurement methods

Skills

The student

  • can convert units of measurement relating to mass, volume, temperature, amount and concentration of substances
  • can name molecules and ionic bonds
  • can conduct fundamental stoichiometric calculations and equilibrium calculations in chemical reactions
  • can make the necessary calculations to create solutions with the desirable concentration
  • has fundamental skills in practical laboratory work, including the correct use of weights and volumetric equipment

General competence

The student

  • can identify the connection between fundamental chemistry and biomedical analysis methods
  • can describe safety procedures and handling chemicals in a responsible manner

Examiners

The work and teaching methods consist of lectures, thesis seminars, laboratory work and self-study.

The practical part of the course focuses on student-active learning forms, where the students themselves organise the day at the laboratory and assess their own results in an independent manner.

Digital learning resources are used in the course in the form of video lectures, digital tests and practical exercises.
