• is capable of solving problems in engineering by using probability calculations, statistical planning of trials, data collection and analysis

A global tendency in early childhood education and care (ECEC) institutions, is the increased enrolment of children under three years of age. Recent research draw attention to the importance of high quality ECEC for the youngest children's wellbeing, relations, development and learning. High quality ECEC for children under three, depends on specific knowledge about pedagogy for this age group. However, quality and knowledge are not objective. They are deeply rooted in values and in societal and cultural conditions.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• Individual exercises. Takes in total about 3 hours to finish.

Individual written exam under supervision. 3 hours.

The exam results can be appealed.

In the event of a new and postponed examination, oral examination form can be used.

If oral examination is used for a new and postponed examination, this cannot be appealed.

Both individual self-study and learning in cooperation with fellow students and lectures are expected. During the course there will be a combination of lectures and seminars.

• In groups: Analysis of optional tool / approach for exploring of quality in ECEC for children under three years. Oral presentation in class 30 minutes (discussion included).

There is a requirement of a minimum of 80 per cent attendance. The purpose of the course-work requirements is to contribute to professional reflection and to provide training in the presentation of professional content in an organized manner. Together with other academic work, the course-work requirements shall help the students achieve the skills stated in the subject plan.

Absence beyond 20 per cent means that the student cannot take the exam in the course. Students who exceed the absences quota due to valid documented absence, will be able to receive alternative assignments, by agreement with the supervisor and can give the examination right. Such alternative tasks are not given to students who have absence exceeding 50 per cent, regardless of the reason for absence.
