Course history

Introduction

Emnet gir en innføring i migrasjonens nyere historie internasjonalt og i Norge. Vi spør: Hvilke typer migrasjon har vært dominerende de siste tiårene? Hvilke drivkrefter ligger bak bevegelsen av asylsøkere, arbeidsmigranter, familiemigranter og andre? Hvordan har innvandringspolitikken endret seg over tid? Videre ser vi på hva som er konsekvensene av migrasjonen for landene de reiser fra, for mottakerlandet og for migrantene selv. Kurset bruker aktuelle debatter om innvandring, integrering og mangfold som utgangspunkt for å drøfte pensumlitteraturen.

Required preliminary courses

Ingen

Learning outcomes

Studentene har forståelse av årsaker til migrasjonsstrømmer og deres årsaker. Videre blir studentene kjent med dilemmaer knyttet til regulering av migrasjon, samt migranters opplevelse.

Kunnskap

Studenten har

  • kunnskap om sammenhengen mellom migrasjonsstrømmer og kontroll
  • innblikk i motiver og beveggrunner for ulike typer migrasjon
  • innsikt i sammenhengen mellom sosial endring, økonomisk endring og migrasjon
  • forståelse for årsaker til og virkninger av migrasjon

Ferdigheter

Studenten har

  • praktisk ferdighet i å se helse- og sosiale forhold i migranters situasjon i sammenheng¿med deres migrasjonserfaring
  • evne til å håndtere utfordringer knyttet til virkninger av migrasjon fra sender - så vel som mottakerland
  • kompetanse til å analysere migranters opplevelser i lys av innvandrings- og integreringspolitikk

Generell kompetanse

Studenten

  • forstår migrasjonens sosiale, kulturelle og samfunnsøkonomiske virkninger både fra senderlandets og mottakerlandets perspektiv

Teaching and learning methods

Forelesninger og seminarundervisning. Det forutsettes aktiv deltakelse fra studentene i undervisningen, og det legges vekt på dialog. Studentene er forventet å forberede og presentere kortfattede innlegg om aktuelle saker fra innvandringsfeltet.

Course requirements

Grading scale

This is the last of four courses in orthopaedic technology. The course is based on the clinical work processes covered in ORI1000, ORI1300, ORI2200 and ORI2300. Knowledge acquired in the courses on anatomy, pathology and biomechanics will be used.

The course mainly deals with orthoses and prostheses for the upper limbs. It also covers;prostheses/orthoses for persons with deformities/lengthening prostheses and hip disarticulation prostheses, which is a less common amputation level and makes up a smaller part of the prosthetists’ work at lower limb level. The types of prostheses in this course are biomechanically and technically complex. The course will not provide all the necessary competence, but will provide the students with an insight into what is required in order to adapt functional prostheses at these amputation levels.

Prosthetists work with patients of all ages and life situations and must have good communication skills. The students will also participate in the interprofessional project INTER1300 ‘Interprofessional Cooperation about and with Children, Young People and their Families’. The theme will be how different professions can cooperate on and with children and young people. This includes a theoretical understanding of and research-based knowledge about interprofessional cooperation about and with children, young people and their families.

Examiners

The student must have passed the first and second years of the programme or equivalent.

Course contact person

After completing the course and INTER1300, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence (INTER1300 addresses the learning outcomes marked with an asterisk (*)):

  • can explain medical reasons for dysfunction in and amputation of upper limbs
  • can describe psychosocial aspects of upper-limb amputation
  • has knowledge of control technology used in upper limb prostheses and orthoses
  • can describe surgery for hip disarticulation and the consequences of this for prosthetic treatment and design at this level of amputation
