Required preliminary courses

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 assess key theories related to pain in young people, adults and the older adults
  • can discuss approaches to assessing pain and appropriate interventions provided by healthcare professions

  • can critically reflect on different interventions for long-term pain conditions

General competence

The student

  • can describe key aspects of pain theories
  • can implement knowledge about multidimensional assessments of pain conditions
  • can disseminate research-based knowledge on the examination and treatment of pain

Learning outcomes

The course will use varied, student-active work methods. Work methods comprise lectures, flipped classroom, seminars, presentations, group work and self-study. Presentations at the seminars are important to support the continued learning process and communication skills after the course.

Teaching is organised as two one-week sessions on campus.

Teaching and learning methods

Undervisningen veksler mellom forelesninger og seminarer. Studentene tilegner seg stoffet ved selvstudium, gruppearbeid og gjennom praktisk oppgaveløsing. Undervisningen er hovedsakelig campusbasert.

Course requirements

For å kunne framstille seg til eksamen må studenten ha følgende godkjente arbeidskrav:

  • Arbeidskrav 1: Deltakelse på to obligatoriske seminarer. Obligatorisk aktivitet må være gjennomført og godkjent innen fastlagt frist for å få adgang til eksamen. Arbeidskravet har som formål å gi studenten grunnleggende ferdigheter i søkestrategi, søketeknikker og anvendelse av digitale informasjonssystemer. Arbeidet skal også utvikle studentens evne til å bruke relevante kildekritiske metoder og verktøy på en effektiv og hensiktsmessig måte.
  • Arbeidskrav 2: En skriftlig gruppeinnlevering knyttet til Informasjonssøk og kildekritikk (7.000-9.500 tegn inklusive mellomrom). Arbeidskravet har som formål å gi studenten erfaring med å utforske og reflektere rundt sentrale temaer i emnet gjennom samarbeid og bruk av relevante verktøy.

Arbeidskrav må være gjennomført og godkjent innen fastlagt frist for at studenten skal kunne framstille seg til eksamen. Dersom arbeidskravet ikke blir godkjent gis det anledning til å kunne levere en forbedret versjon én gang innen angitt frist.

Assessment

Ingen hjelpemidler tillatt.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

All answers are assessed by one examiner.

An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.

Grading scale

Gradert skala A-F

Examiners

Det benyttes en intern og en ekstern sensor til sensurering av besvarelsene. Et uttrekk på minst 25 % av besvarelsene sensureres av to sensorer. Karakterene på de besvarelsene som er vurdert skal danne grunnlag for å fastsette nivå på resten av besvarelsene.

Admission requirements

  • The student must have been admitted to the Master’s Degree Programme in Health Sciences.
  • The course is also available for students outside the programme and can be applied to individually. Applicants s must have a bachelor’s degree or an equivalent degree in health and social care, public health or sports subjects from an accredited university or college. The grade C requirement does not apply to admission to individual courses.
