Introduction
After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student can
- describe anatomical structures related to the cardiovascular system and respiratory system
- describe the relationship between structure and function in the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and explain the interaction between these systems
- describe the mechanisms and functions of the digestive system and the endocrine system
- describe homeostatic mechanisms and other controlling mechanisms wich are sentral in regulating bodily processes and how different bodily systems cooperate to regulate bodily functions
- explain healing mechanisms after tissue damage
- explain the mechanisms of the body’s temperature regulation
- explain energy metabolism and basic nutritional physiology
- explain important testing principles in exercise physiology
- describe anatomical and physiological changes across the lifespan
Skills
The student can
- explain how nutrition and physical activity affect physiological energy metabolism
- explain physiological processes at rest and during physical activity, as well as the body’s ability to adapt to different types of strains and loads
Recommended preliminary courses
Prior to the course, the students are recommended to go through the elements in "Startpakka" which focus on literature search, critical appraisal and use of references, see https://bokskapet.oslomet.no/courses/course-v1:BOKSKAPET+FELLES-1704+2/about
Required preliminary courses
The student must have been admitted to the study programme.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the student has acquired the following learning outcomes classified as knowledge, skills and competence:
Knowledge
The student
- can define what EBP is and recognizes the rationale for EBP and shared decision making
- knows the steps of EBP
- is familiar with the levels in the S-pyramid and acknowledges the difference between single studies and systematic reviews
- knows the characteristics of a scientific article, e.g. IMRAD
- can explain the purpose and characteristics of qualitative and quantitative studies and syntheses of studies, e.g. systematic reviews
- understands the principles for critical appraisal and knows how to use check lists for different study designs, clinical guidelines and professional procedures
- knows different types of categorical and continuous measures of association and effect, and key graphical presentations
Skills
The student
- can identify different types of professional/clinical questions, such as questions about treatment, diagnosis, prognosis, experiences and etiology
- can, for each type of clinical question, identify the preferred order of study designs
- can formulate searchable professional/clinical questions using e.g. PICO
- and variations of PICO
- can construct and carry out an appropriate and simple search strategy for professional/clinical questions from the top of the S-pyramid
General competencies
The student
- can critically assess health claims in the media
Teaching and learning methods
The teaching is mainly designed with "flipped classroom" and learning activities in class and smaller groups. Digital learning resources such as digital lectures, videos and films will be available to the students in advance. Students are recommended to use these resources and to be prepared before the lectures and the seminars.
Course requirements
No aids are permitted.
Assessment
Grade scale A-F
Permitted exam materials and equipment
An external examiner contributes to the preparation of the exam questions.
Free text assignment: At least 15% of the exam papers will be assessed by one external and one internal examiner. The remaining papers will be assessed by internal examiners. Multiple choice test: quality assured by an internal examiner and automatically assessed.
Grading scale
Associate Professor David Jahanlu
Examiners
One external and one internal examiner will assess at least 10 percent of the assignments. To internal examiners will assess the remaining assignments. The external examiner’s assessment shall benefit all the students.
