Delemne 1

Undervisningen er lagt opp som forelesninger.

Delemne 2

Delemnet har en innledende forelesning. Deretter arbeider studentene i grupper (10-12 studenter og lærer) og trener i rollene som gruppeleder, gruppedeltaker og observatør.

Delemne 3

Teoriundervisningen veksler mellom plenumsforelesninger, gruppearbeid og veiledning av lærer før, under og ved avslutningen av praksisstudiet.

Praksis

I praksisstudiet er studenten tilknyttet et arbeidssted der det utøves sosialfaglig arbeid. Studenten skal følge arbeidsstedets arbeidsrutiner og oppgaver og få ukentlige veiledninger av veileder med relevant sosialfaglig kompetanse - fortrinnsvis en sosionom. Studentens arbeidsoppgaver skal i størst mulig grad skal være de sosialfaglige oppgaver som veileder har på praksisstedet. Fastsetting av konkrete arbeidsoppgaver planlegges av veileder og student i fellesskap, og de skal framgå av læringskontrakten. For utfyllende informasjon vises det til reglement for praksis.

Assessment in practical training.

The assessment takes its point of departure in given criteria based on learning outcomes for the course, criteria for failing the practical training, criteria for suitability assessment and compulsory activities carried throughout the entire course. During the practical training period, a minimum of 90 percent attendance is required to pass the practical training. For more information, see the general part of the programme description about the assessment of practical training.

If the student has failed the practical training, the whole practical training course must be retaken. This includes associated requirements.
