Various teaching methods are used in this course, including practice in the professional field, supervision and flipped classroom. The flipped classroom method is a process-based approach that comprises three phases that build on each other; the students’ own preparations, seminars at the university and follow-up work in groups or individually. The practical training takes place over around 12 weeks. The period of practical training also includes study days.

The following required coursework/compulsory activities must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

• Coursework 1. Work placement

The Practice supervisor recommends the internship approved or not approved. Final approval is given by the education department. There is a requirement for 80% attendance at the practice location. Approval of practice is regulated by the practice regulations.

• Coursework 2. Compulsory participation in pre-placement seminar and mid-term seminar

Possible absence of up to 1 day. Absence of more than 1 day triggers compensatory work requirements. The extent of the work requirement will increase with the extent of the absence. Failure to submit work requirements results in loss of the right to take the exam.

• Coursework 3. Learning contract

Submission of the learning contract, which is created in collaboration with the internship supervisor. The scope of the learning contract will vary from student to student. The purpose of the work requirement is that the learning contract should support and promote the student's learning outcomes during the internship period. If the learning contract is not approved, you are given the opportunity to deliver a revised version once within the specified deadline.

• Coursework 4. Reflection note, 3-4 pages

If the reflection note is not approved, the opportunity is given to be able to deliver the revised version once, within the specified deadline.

Compulsory activities and work requirements must be completed and approved within the set deadline for the student to be able to present himself for the exam.

If the work placement is not approved, the student must also obtain approval for participation in pre-placement seminar and mid-term seminar, and has the reflection note and learning contract approved again, as the requirements are linked to the specific placement/ work placement period.

The exam in the course is an individual written practical training assignment with a scope of 11-13 pages. Font and font size: Calibri 12-point. Line spacing 1.5. The approved citation style APA for assignments must be complied with. 

Students who fail the practical training assignment can submit a reworked version as a resit exam once. Students who fail twice must submit a new research question.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

Pass/fail.

All exam papers are assessed by one internal and one external examiner. A student’s contact lecturer cannot be their examiner.
