Course history

Introduction

The main focus is milieu therapeutic work, habilitation and rehabilitation, related to the social educator's field of work. VERPRA35 includes user-oriented practice in real professional situations. The bachelor's thesis in VERB3900 is prepared on the basis of experiences in VERPRA35. Collaboration across enterprises, levels and sectors, quality-improving work processes and innovative thinking are central to the measures that are to be established/continued.

The students themselves choose a relevant area of specialization that the university offers. Alternatively, the students themselves can suggest a relevant area of specialization. The students will collaborate with the practical training institution and service recipient(s) on relevant issues that they will work on independently in the course.

VERPRA35 includes 11 weeks (330 hours) of user-oriented practical training in real professional situations.

Please note, that in connection with VERB3900, there is 1 seminar week prior to the practical training in VERPRA35. In this seminar week, the focus will be on project description, data collection methods, APA standard and implementation of projects in preparation for the bachelor's thesis.

Assessment

Den avsluttande vurderinga i emnet består av to eksamensdelar, begge vekta 50 prosent av sluttkarakteren til studenten:

Eksamensdel 1: Gruppedokumentar, mappeeksamen.

Det blir gitt ei felles gruppevurdering i eksamensdel 1.

Dokumentarproduksjonen skal leverast som eit større prosjektorganisert arbeid og skal innehalde to delar: den ferdige dokumentarfilmen og ei produksjonsprosesspakke. Denne skriftlege prosesspakka må innehalde ei tittelside, pitch, produksjonsplan, arbeid med historieutvikling, distribusjonsplan og "bak kulissane"-materiale for prosjektet. Vi forventar at gruppene inkluderer både tekst og bilete i pakka. Vi ønskjer òg at gruppene legg ved tilleggsmateriale.

Omfanget av dokumentarfilmen er om lag 10 minutt. Omfanget av den skriftlege prosesspakken er 6–9 sider.

Eksamensdel 2: Individuell refleksjonsoppgåve, heimeeksamen.

Det blir gitt ei individuell vurdering i eksamensdel 2.

Denne delen av eksamen er ein individuell heimeeksamen over ein periode på 4 dagar. Det skriftlege essayet skal dokumentere den individuelle arbeidsprosessen til studenten og vise forståing av pensum.

Omfanget av refleksjonsoppgåva er 5–7 sider. Skrifttype og skriftstorleik: Arial / Calibri / Verdana, 12 pkt. Linjeavstand: 1,5. Litteraturliste og illustrasjonar kjem i tillegg.

For å få bestått karakter må studenten bestå begge delane av eksamen. Studentar som ikkje består del 1 av eksamen, kan som gruppe levere ein revidert versjon éin gong. Studentar som har bestått del 1, men ikkje består del 2, kan ta konteeksamen ved å levere del 1 på nytt saman med ein revidert versjon av del 2. Klage kan fremjast etter at karakteren er fastsett.
