Målgruppen for studiet er pedagogiske ledere og barnehagelærere.

Studentene skal i løpet av studiet gjennomføre og lede et pedagogisk utviklingsarbeid i egen barnehage eller i en barnehage/personalgruppe hun eller han har ansvar for i tilknytning til en faglig og administrativ stilling på barnehagefeltet. Det er derfor et krav at studenten er i arbeid i stilling på barnehagefeltet under hele studiet.

Work and teaching methods include lectures, group work, seminars, practical student exercises, digital teaching and portfolio assignments. The course is organised in such a way that it alternates between theoretical lectures and practical student exercises in compliance (different pharmaceutical formulations) so that the student can learn more about the challenges of pharmaceuticals use in different life situations and for different illnesses. The students will learn statistical concepts and epidemiology through the computer lab exercises and critical assessment of articles. Canvas and Open EdX are the digital tool used in the course.

In connection with the course, the students will also take part in the Innovation Camp, which is held for third-year students on several of the faculty's bachelor's degree programmes. The course focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship as ways of thinking in healthcare.

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• a minimum attendance requirement of 80% at scheduled and supervised group work, and at seminars with oral presentations
• digital storytelling about the student's own challenges relating to medication adherence
• participation at Innovation Camp
