- can give an account of principles concerning treatment planning and consider problems relating to organ at risk
- can assess treatment precision and accuracy, verification methods and surface image-guided radiotherapy
- can account for radiation protection and image quality
- can describe and assess the department’s guidelines, quality assurance systems, procedures and documentation procedures
- can give an account of and assess the department’s procedures for information about radiotherapy and preventive/follow-up measures with regard to side effects
Skills
The student
- can show care and respect for patients and next of kin
- can use theoretical knowledge of oncology, cancer care and communication to provide good information, teaching and guidance adapted to the needs of patients and next of kin
- can identify care needs, map side effects and implement relevant measures to prevent, alleviate and/or treat these symptoms
- can maintain good hygiene and handle waste and waste products in accordance with regulations
- can argue for and evaluate the choice of patient position and immobilisation

- can independently plan and facilitate radiotherapy in different treatment plans in accordance with applicable guidelines
- can assess methods and analyse results from image/surface guided radiotherapy (IGRT/SGRT) and verification
- can document treatment provided, non-conformity registration and corrective measures
General competence
The student
- can assess how patients experience cancer and its treatment
- can reflect on his/her own role and reactions in dealings with patients and next of kin
- can demonstrate professional and ethical awareness of his/her own conduct in relation to cancer patients and their next of kin, expressed through respect, understanding, cooperation and professionalism

Teaching and learning methods
Tall, algebra og funksjoner
- Arbeide med tall og tallregning i skolen med spesielt fokus på brøk, potenser og røtter.
- Utvikle god kunnskap om ulike tilnærminger til algebra som generalisert aritmetikk, funksjoner, modellering og problemløsning.
- Tidlig algebra, arbeid med utvikling av algebraisk tenkning hos elever på mellom og ungdomstrinn
- Arbeid med likninger, herunder annengradsligninger og ligningssett,
- Kunne og forstå ulike representasjoner av funksjoner og variabelbegrepet
- Kunne grunnleggende egenskaper ved sentrale funksjoner
- Arbeid med modellering av virkeligheten ved hjelp av sentrale funksjonstyper
- Kjenne betydningen av en kovariant tilnærming til funksjoner for å studere og modellere endring og utvikling.
- Arbeid med derivasjon av enkle polynomfunksjoner, og knytte dette til målene om endring og utvikling i grunnskolen.
- Arbeid med integrasjon av enkle polynomfunksjoner.
- Bruk av Dynamiske læringssystemer (DLS) som GeoGebra for utforskning av matematiske begreper og sammenhenger.
- Gode kunnskaper om ulike matematikkdidaktiske teorier og rammeverk som bidrar til innsikt om undervisningskunnskap i matematikk knyttet til
- Planlegging, gjennomføring og evaluering av undervisning
- Design og valg av gode oppgaver og aktiviteter,
- Kommunikasjon i matematikk
- Vurdering i matematikk
Kjerneelementer
Fagets seks kjerneelementer blir ivaretatt ved at de danner grunnlaget for oppgaver og aktiviteter på samlingene. Det vil være fokus på rike oppgaver som inviterer til utforsking og problemløsning og som innebærer ulike varianter av de andre kjerneelementene.
Kjerneelementene i matematikk er:
- Utforskning og problemløsning
- Modellering og anvendelser
- Resonnering og argumentasjon
- Representasjon og kommunikasjon
- Abstraksjon og generalisering
- Matematiske kunnskapsområder
Grunnleggende ferdigheter
Kurset skal gjøre studentene fortrolige med de grunnleggende ferdighetene å kunne uttrykke seg skriftlig og muntlig, å kunne lese og regne og å kunne bruke digitale verktøy i faget matematikk, slik disse er utformet i gjeldende plan for matematikk i grunnskolen.
Course requirements
The following required coursework must be approved before the student receives a final assessment in the course:
- presentation in groups of 4-6 students, relating to a project on patient care - STRÅLPRA-101
- an individual, written project assignment on patient care, of approx. 2,000 words - STRÅLPRA-101
- presentation in groups of 4-6 students, relating to a project on single dose planning - STRÅLPRA-101
- individual presentation relating to a project on quality assurance in radiotherapy - STRÅLPRA-102
Required coursework must be approved before the final assessment in STRÅLPRA-102. Students have up to three attempts to have the assignment approved. If the assignment is not approved after three attempts, the student will not receive a final assessment and must take the course the next time it is taught.
Assessment
Assessment of clinical training. Credits are awarded on completion of both training periods (STRÅLPRA-101 and STRÅLPRA-102). To pass the clinical training, the student must have met the compulsory attendance requirement (90 per cent attendance).
Grading scale
Pass/fail.
Examiners
Students are assessed by the clinical training supervisor and the course lecturer at OsloMet.
