Course history

Introduction

Work and teaching methods comprise seminars with case-based teaching, skills training, activity analysis and lectures. The students work individually and in groups and with student-driven teaching.

Required preliminary courses

The work and teaching methods comprise supervised clinical training, group supervision organised by the contact lecturer at OsloMet, and writing reflection notes.

Practical training

Fifteen weeks of clinical training and one day of practical training preparations. The content of the practical training periods will vary with the activities at the institution where the practical training takes place at any time, and will therefore offer varied arenas for clinical training in terms of problems, diagnoses and complexity.

Learning outcomes

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can receive the final assessment:

  • practical training document, pursuant to specific criteria
  • 3 reflection notes of 1,000 words (+/- 10%) each. If the student takes driving instruction as part of PARAPRA2AB, the required coursework is 2 reflection notes of 1,000 words (+/- 10%).

Teaching and learning methods

Assessment content: The learning outcomes

Form of assessment: Combined assessment:

Part 1) Assessment of clinical training. A compulsory attendance requirement applies to clinical training. Students must make up for absence exceeding 10% by agreement with the practical training supervisor and the practical training institution. If a student's absence exceeds 20%, he/she will fail the course.

Part 2) Emergency vehicle driving test, theoretical and practical test in driving emergency vehicles organised by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. The theoretical emergency vehicle driving test must be taken before the practical test, cf. the emergency vehicle regulations Section 29.

Students must pass both part 1 clinical training and part 2 emergency vehicle driving test in order to pass the course. If the student fails one part of the course, this part must be retaken.

Course requirements

Grade scale A-F.

Assessment

Eksamensinnhold: Læringsutbyttene.

Eksamensform: Kombinert vurdering:

Del 1) Vurderte kliniske studier. Det er krav om obligatorisk tilstedeværelse i kliniske studier. Fravær utover 10 prosent må tas igjen etter avtale med praksisveileder og praksisstedet. Fravær utover 20 prosent medfører at emnet vurderes til ikke bestått

Del 2) Utrykningsprøve, teoretisk og praktisk prøve i utrykningskjøring arrangert av Statens vegvesen. Teoretisk prøve i utrykningskjøring skal avlegges før den praktiske prøven jf. utrykningsforskriften § 2

Studenten må bestå både del 1 kliniske studier og del 2 utrykningsprøve for å bestå emnet som helhet. Dersom studenten får ikke bestått i én av delene må denne delen tas på nytt.

Grading scale

Part 1) The midway and final assessments are made by the practical training supervisor. The university contact lecturer will contribute to the midway and final assessment on the basis of the criteria described in the clinical training manual. The final decision on whether to award a pass or fail grade is made by the university.

Part 2) The theoretical and practical tests are assessed by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration

Examiners

Del 1) Midt- og sluttvurdering gjennomføres av praksisveileder. Kontaktlærer fra høgskolen deltar i midt- og sluttvurdering etter kriterier beskrevet i praksisdokumentet. Endelig vedtak om bestått/ikke bestått fattes av høgskolen. Del 2) Teoretisk og praktisk prøve vurderes av sensorer hos Statens vegvesen.
