- using and communicating systematic activity analyses through an occupational therapy work process
- initiating relevant interventions under supervision based on, among other things, a complete systematic occupational analysis
- applying activities methodically to promote occupational performance and justifying this through clinical reasoning
- assessing and adjusting their own therapeutic competence in encounters with users, or making referrals as needed

- applying relevant theory and research, and making professional assessments, decisions and actions in accordance with evidence-based practice
- carrying out conversations about everyday life with children and young people*
- communicating in an appreciative manner with parents/guardians*
General competence
The student is capable of

Learning outcomes
The practical training period normally takes place over twelve weeks and starts with a week’s preparation as part of the programme. During a practical training week, the students spend 30 hours in practical training. The students will be assigned a supervisor at the practical training establishment and a contact lecturer at the university.
The students also receive group supervision during the practical training. The supervision groups are jointly led by a lecturer from the programme and an occupational therapist from the practical training field. The goal is for the group supervision to connect theory and practice through reflection and clinical reasoning. The topics for the supervision groups are based on selected learning outcomes for the programme.
INTER1200
INTER1200 Communication with Children, Youth and their Families includes one common seminar day, digital learning resources and assignments related to interprofessional group work. The students will converse, reflect on and discuss selected cases in groups across the different programmes.

The following must be approved:
- cooperation agreement with specification of the learning outcomes
An attendance requirement also applies, see ‘assessment of practical training’ in the programme description's main part for more information.
Coursework requirements relating to INTER1200:
- individual log. Scope: 500 words (+/- 10%). In order to write the log, the student must first attend a seminar over two days.

This course provides core insights and competencies in the field of sustainability and place-based education from early childhood to lower secondary education. The content and teaching methods are interdisciplinary. The topics covered in the course provide insights into crucial didactic and pedagogical dilemmas related to ecological, social and economic sustainability. Through inquiry-based and student-centred approaches, the course addresses current sustainability challenges in kindergartens and schools.
Nordic perspectives on education for sustainability will be compared with international aspects. The course will also focus on social justice and diversity and promote the joy of being part of nature and coexisting with all life on earth. Realism and agency in sustainabilityissues are also emphasised. The students will work with transformative learning processes. Parts of the course will take place outdoors.
