Introduction
Language of instruction: Norwegian
The purpose of this course is to enable the students to describe and assess theoretical and research-based knowledge as the basis for understanding children’s movement development and motor learning. The course provides a theoretical foundation for critical reflection on assessment and the use of outcome measures in treatment and habilitation, health promotion and preventive work. Involvement of children, young people and their families in mapping and target-setting work is central.
Required preliminary courses
The student must have been admitted to the Master’s Programme in Health Sciences and hold authorisation as a physiotherapist.
Learning outcomes
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 key theoretical perspectives on children and adolescents’ movement development and motor learning
- can analyse and assess typical and atypical movement development
- can describe choices and use of outcome measures as the basis for describing motor function and identifying functional difficulties
- can describe what forms the basis of clinical decision processes in physiotherapy
Skills
The student
- can apply relevant theory in the analysis of children and adolescents’ movement, activity and participation
- can critically reflect on and evaluate the use of assessment instruments in clinical practice and research
- can integrate theory, research, experience-based knowledge, and the children’s, adolescents’ and families’ perspective and principles in family-centred services when assessing development, function and life situation
General competence
The student
- can analyse and critically reflect on how different understandings of children and childhood can have consequences for physiotherapists’ work
- can assess and critically reflect on the knowledge-basis for different measures and interventions in physiotherapy practice
- can identify and analyse professional and ethical dilemmas in connection with examination and mapping processes
Teaching and learning methods
The course will use varied, student-active work methods. The teaching is session-based with two sessions over five days; four days of teaching and one study day per week. There are four to six weeks between each session. Teaching at the sessions will vary between lectures and student-active learning in the form of seminars, group work and presentations. Aside from session-based teaching, the teaching methods used are self-study and work on an examination assignment. Students can choose to submit a draft examination paper during the course (approx. 1,000 words). Lecturers and fellow students will provide oral feedback on the drafts submitted.
Course requirements
Gaining an understanding of art and dissemination in different settings and contexts is a key element of the course. The course starts with a practical training preparation Project (11;weeks); followed by a practical training periode. Students are also taught research theory and methodology. The course focuses on the acquisition and application of different theoretical perspectives, experimental methods in practical processes, the investigation of a problem and discussion of this problem in relation to the field of practice.;
