Course history

Introduction

Coursework requirements are all types of work, tests and compulsory attendance that are requirements for being permitted to take the examination. Coursework requirements can be individual or in groups. Required coursework is assessed as approved/not approved. The coursework requirements for each course are described in the relevant course description.

The primary purpose of coursework requirements is to promote students' progress and academic development and to encourage them to acquire new knowledge. The programme's main coursework requirements are in the form of compulsory attendance, written assignments and tests.

Compulsory attendance

Attendance is compulsory in areas where the student cannot acquire knowledge and skills simply by studying literature.

If a student exceeds the maximum limit for absence stated in the course description or do not participate in a group presentation, the lecturer will consider whether it is possible to compensate for absence by meeting alternative requirements. This can e.g. be written assignments or oral presentations, individually or in groups. If it is not possible to compensate for the absence, the student must take the course the next time it is taught. Whether or not it is possible to compensate for absence depends on the extent of the student’s absence and which activities he/she has missed.

Written assignments

Several courses have compulsory written assignments or reports as part of their coursework requirements. Written work that is not approved must be improved before re-submission. If the work is not approved on re-submission, the student cannot take the ordinary examination/assessment.

The students are entitled to a third attempt before the resit/rescheduled examination. If an assignment is not approved the third time it is submitted, the student must re-take the course with the next class.

Required preliminary courses

Programme description considered by the Academic Affairs Committee at the Faculty of Health Sciences on 12 February 2020 and finally approved by the vice-dean on 27 January 2025.

Adopted by the University Board 9 september 2020

Faculty of Health Sciences

The programme description applies to all students at the specialisation in Public Health Nutrition

There will not be admitted students to the specialization in Public Health Nutrition for the academic year 2025/2026.

Learning outcomes

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:

  • is capable of defining and carrying out calculations of energy, work and heat
  • is capable of explaining and carrying out calculations of enthalpy (H), entropy (S), and Gibbs free energy (G), for different processes
  • is capable of deriving and carrying out calculations of the connection between equilibrium constants, temperature and thermodynamic values
  • is capable of explaining and calculating phase equilibria/ phase diagrams
  • is capable of defining and carrying out calculations of colligative properties
  • is capable of deriving connections between electrochemistry and thermodynamic values
  • is capable of deciding a reaction order and performing kinetic calculations
  • has basic knowledge of energy and energy transfer in different systems, knowledge of colligative properties and phase equilibria
  • has basic knowledge of radioactivity
  • has basic knowledge of transition metal and coordination compounds

Skills

The student:

  • can collaborate in groups both with practical and written work
  • have insight into the proper handling of chemicals on the basis of safety data sheets and from laboratory experience

General competence

The student:

  • can perform thermodynamic measurements for different processes and phase transitions
  • can derive some equations in thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium and phase equilibrium, electrochemistry and reaction kinetics
  • can plot and outline phase diagrams
  • can use Nernst equation and emf measurements in calculations
  • can solve simple rate laws as differential equations and use the expressions further in calculations

Teaching and learning methods

The teaching is organised as lectures, exercises and demonstration of laboratory equipment

Course requirements

Opptakskravet er bachelorgrad innen barnehagelærerutdanning eller tilsvarende pedagogisk utdanning på bachelornivå, jfr. Barnehagelovens bestemmelser §§ 24 og 25. Studentene skal i løpet av studiet gjennomføre oppgaver og arbeidskrav som tar utgangspunkt i refleksjon, kunnskapsdeling i profesjonsfellesskap og utprøving på eget arbeidssted. Det er derfor et krav at studenten arbeider i barnehage, eller har kontakt med en barnehage der det er mulig å gjennomføre arbeidskrav som er del av videreutdanningen, under hele studiet. Dette dokumenteres med en bekreftelse fra arbeidsgiver, eller barnehagen der arbeidskrav skal gjennomføres.

Med tilsvarende pedagogisk utdanning på bachelornivå menes følgende utdanninger i kombinasjon med tilleggsutdanning i barnehagepedagogikk (60 studiepoeng):

  • grunnskolelærer for trinn 1–7 eller tidligere allmennlærerutdanning
  • faglærer (fireårig faglærerutdanning i praktiske og estetiske fag eller treårig faglærerutdanning som gir kompetanse for tilsetting fra 1. klassetrinn)
  • spesialpedagog, barnevernspedagog eller kateket
  • Steinerhøyskolens bachelorutdanning i førskolepedagogikk eller Steinerhøyskolens lærerutdanning med bachelorgrad i steinerpedagogikk

Veiledet praksisopplæring knyttet til arbeid med barn må inngå som en integrert del av utdanningen.

For lærere er det krav om undervisningskompetanse fra 1. trinn i grunnskolen, eller tilsvarende kompetanse fra utdanning fra utlandet.

Dersom det er flere kvalifiserte søkere enn ledige studieplasser, rangeres søkere etter karakterpoeng fra bachelorutdanning. Søkere som har fått innvilget tilretteleggingsmidler fra Utdanningsdirektoratet (Udir), får 5 tilleggspoeng.

Søkere med morsmål fra land utenfor Norden må dokumentere norsk og engelsk tilsvarende kravet til generell studiekompetanse (samordnaopptak.no).

Fra søkere med utenlandsk barnehagelærerutdanning eller lærerutdanning kreves godkjenning av NOKUT (fra og med 2020) eller Utdanningsdirektoratet/Udir (til og med 2019). For mer informasjon, se NOKUTS nettsider (nokut.no).

Assessment

Se emneplanen.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator's internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Grading scale

Examiners

Overlapping courses

The course has an overlap of 10 credits with KJPE1500.

Under the rule that students have three attempts to take an exam, attempts in equivalent courses also count.
