Introduction
Videreutdanningen Norsk som andrespråk for lærere i voksenopplæringen skal bidra til å gi formell kompetanse til å undervise i norsk som andrespråk, i tråd med formålet i Lov om integrering gjennom opplæring, utdanning og arbeid (Integreringsloven).
Videreutdanningen skal gi lærerne økt innsikt i språkets form-, innholds- og bruksside samt et faglig grunnlag for didaktisk refleksjon og utvikling av kunnskap om andrespråkslæring og undervisning i andrespråk. Hensikten er å dyktiggjøre lærerne til å ta adekvate pedagogiske og metodiske avgjørelser som både vil anerkjenne andrespråksinnlærernes medbrakte kompetanse, bidra til at de oppøver kritisk holdning til egen språklig formidling og lære å bruke det norske språket som redskap for videre læring og utvikling.
Required preliminary courses
The student must have passed the first year of the programme or equivalent, except the second part of the exam in the course PMED1300, the Drug Calculations exam.
Learning outcomes
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 explain how medical equipment is used for assessment, diagnostics and treatment of acutely ill and injured patients
- can describe responsible drugs administration in relation to laws, regulations and local guidelines

- can cooperate with the supervisor on patient handover
General competence
The student
- can handle hygiene and infection principles to provide responsible health care
- can show respect and care in a safe and efficient manner that fosters good relations with patients, next of kin, colleagues and partners
- can identify and reflect on laws that are relevant for professional practice
- can identify and reflect on ethical issues in dealings with patients, next of kin, colleagues and partners
- can reflect on their own learning strategies
- can handle feedback and guidance
- can reflect on interdisciplinary cooperation
Teaching and learning methods
The work and teaching methods comprise supervised clinical training, seminars, simulation and skills training and work on reflection notes. Some of the students will receive training in driving emergency vehicles during the course, while other students will receive such training later on in the programme.
The course consists of two days of preparation and 15 weeks of supervised clinical training in the ambulance service. The content of the placement periods varies with the activities at the practice placement location at any time, and will therefore include a range of different arenas for clinical training in terms of problems, diagnoses and complexity.
Course requirements
The following required coursework must be approved to pass clinical training:
- Three reflection notes of 1,500 words (+/- 10%)*
- Submitted and signed clinical training document
- Approved radio terminal course for ambulance crews´
* If the student takes driving training in PMEDPRA10, he/she only needs to submit two reflection notes of 1,500 words (+/- 10%).
The student has up to two attempts to have the assignment approved during the placement period. If a written assignment is not approved, the student must rework it and submit it again. If the first attempt fails, the student will receive individual feedback and advice on what needs to be improved in order for the course requirement to be approved. The clinical practice placement will be registered as failed if the second attempt at meeting a written course requirement fails. This counts as one (1) attempt at passing the clinical practice placement.
Assessment
Arbeidskrav skal bidra til å sikre at studentene er aktive og medansvarlige for studieprogresjonen. Arbeidskrav må være godkjent for å kunne gå opp til eksamen og skal være levert/utført innen fastsatt(e) frist(er). Gyldig fravær dokumentert med for eksempel sykemelding, gir ikke fritak fra arbeidskrav.
Studenter som på grunn av sykdom eller annen dokumentert gyldig årsak ikke leverer/ utfører arbeidskrav innen fristen, kan få forlenget frist. Ny frist for å innfri arbeidskrav avtales i hvert enkelt tilfelle med den aktuelle læreren.
Arbeidskrav vurderes til «Godkjent» eller «Ikke godkjent». Studenter som leverer/utfører arbeidskrav innen fristen, men som får vurderingen «Ikke godkjent», har anledning til én ny innlevering/utførelse. Studenten må da selv avtale ny innlevering av det aktuelle arbeidskravet i med faglærer. Studenter som ikke leverer/utfører arbeidskrav innen fristen og som ikke har dokumentert gyldig årsak, får ingen nye forsøk.
Nærmere informasjon om arbeidskrav finnes i den enkelte emneplan.
Krav om obligatorisk tilstedeværelse
Studietilbudet er et samlingsbassert deltidsstudium. Det forutsettes at studentene arbeider selvstendig med studiene mellom samlingene, blant annet gjennom arbeidskrav, refleksjonsoppgaver og aktivt arbeid med pensumlitteratur.
Ettersom studiet legger vekt på studentenes egne erfaringer, er det et krav om 80 % tilstedeværelse på samlingene i hvert emne for å kunne avlegge eksamen. Fravær ut over 20% kan unntaksvis, og etter en faglig vurdering, kompenseres med en skriftlig oppgave. I løpet av studiet skal studentene dele erfaringer og faglig kompetanse med hverandre, slik at mangfold og variasjon i fagbakgrunn og erfaringer utnyttes som ressurs for gjensidig læring. Denne typen faglig aktivitet kan ikke tilegnes ved selvstudium, men må opparbeides gjennom reell dialog med medstudenter og lærere.
