Master's Programme in Health Sciences - specialisation in Physiotherapy for Children and Adolescents Programme description

Programmet har fokus på flerkulturelle og globale problemstillinger. Dette bidrar til økt forståelse og forbedrer studentens evne til å arbeide profesjonelt i et multikulturelt samfunn. Studentene får tilgang til fagterminologi på engelsk gjennom bruk av engelsk pensum, både i form av fagbøker og internasjonal forskningslitteratur.

On completion of the course, the candidate will have achieved the following learning outcomes:

Knowledge

The candidate:

• has in-dept knowledge concerning core elements of ABR
• can evaluate the expediency and application of certain methodological and analytical approaches within the umbrella term ABR
• has knowledge of certain ontological, epistemological and ethical issues related to ABR

Skills

The candidate:

• can critically analyse relationships between theories of knowledge and ABR and challenge established research practices
• can use relevant techniques to enhance and elicit their own embodiment, empathy and/or sensitivity in research
• can formulate problems, plan, carry out and critically discuss relevant ABR processes in their own research

General competence

The candidate:

• can identify and discuss some relationships and conflicts between other scientific theories and certain theories in ABR, related to his/her field of research
• can give well-structured presentations and participate in debates assessing ABR processes and projects

Studentene arbeider individuelt og eventuelt i grupper med fagstoff og utvikling av undervisningsopplegg. I tillegg til studentenes egen kompetanseutvikling, skal studiet bidra til organisasjonsutvikling og endring av praksis på egen arbeidsplass. I forbindelse med arbeidskravene skal studentene dele erfaringer, oppdagelser og refleksjoner med hverandre og kollegaer.

Det forventes at deltakerne følger den oppsatte progresjonen, deltar i nettbasert samhandling, gjennomfører hospitering (yrkesfaglig praksis) i relevante virksomheter og arbeidskrav knyttet til studiet. Samarbeid og felles kompetanseutvikling innen anvendelse av ny teknologi og digital kompetanse står sentralt i studiet. Det vil bli lagt vekt på en kollektiv læringsprosess gjennom erfaringsutveksling og refleksjon på egen arbeidsplass. Det legges vekt på at innhold og arbeidsformer skal være praksisnære og praksisrelevante i tråd med de krav som stilles til yrkesfaglærere, faglige ledere og instruktører som organiserer yrkesopplæring.

Studentene skal hospitere tre til fem dager pr emne i relevante virksomheter og yrker, med fokus på bruken av ny teknologi og digital kompetanse i yrket.

Følgende yrkespedagogiske prinsipper ligger til grunn for valg av arbeidsformer: Praksisorientering, problemorientering, eksemplarisk læring, erfaringslæring, opplevelsesorientering, verdiorientering og studentinnflytelse.

The increasing globalisation of the labour market makes international experience and knowledge of languages and cultures increasingly important. Internationalisation contributes to raising the quality of education and strengthens the academic community relating to the master’s programme, at the same time as it strengthens the students as global citizens.

The programme has a focus on multicultural and global problems. This approach contributes to an increased understanding and improves the students' ability to work in a professional capacity in a multicultural society. The students gain access to specialist terminology in English through the syllabus, which comprises both textbooks and international research literature.

The staff’s network, research collaboration and cooperation with colleagues in other countries contribute to internationalisation. The programme is represented in international networks.

OsloMet has exchange agreements with educational institutions in Europe and worldwide.

Courses adapted to incoming exchange students

The following courses have been adapted for incoming exchange students:

• MAFAR4100 Innovation within Healthcare, 10 ECTS credits

Semesters adapted to outbound exchange students

Students who wish to take courses at an educational institution abroad as part of their master’s degree normally go on an exchange in the third semester. Students admitted to a specialisation that as a norm has a master’s thesis worth 50 ECTS credits can apply to instead write a master’s thesis worth 30 ECTS credits. The students are responsible for finding relevant courses at partner institutions and must apply to have them approved in advance. An international coordinator can provide guidance in relation to selecting a course.

Reference is otherwise made to the criteria that apply to student exchanges and the information about stays abroad

Arbeidskravene skal bidra til refleksjon og læring, og bidra til å sikre at studenten er aktive og medansvarlige for studieprogresjonen. Arbeidskrav skal være levert/utført innen fastsatt(e) frist(er). Arbeidskravene må være godkjent før eksamen kan avlegges.

Different forms of assessment are used on the programme that are adapted to the learning outcomes of the various courses. The forms of assessment used are intended to support learning and document the students’ level of competence in relation to the expected learning outcomes. All examinations taken that are part of the specialisation will appear on the diploma, as well as the title of the student’s master’s thesis. Students who take additional elective courses in excess of 120 credits get these on their transcript, and must choose which elective courses are to be included on the diploma. In general, the following forms of assessment are used in the programme:

Supervised individual examination

Taken at the university’s examination premises over a set number of hours.

Home examination

Taken over a set period of time at the end of the course, normally with a set question/assignment text unless otherwise stated in the course description.

Project examination

Taken over the whole or large parts of the course, normally with a topic decided by the students themselves unless otherwise stated in the course description.

Oral examination

Can take place individually or in groups. It can either be an independent form of assessment or used to adjust the grade awarded for another examination.

Practical examination

The assessment of specific practical skills either at the university or in the field of practice.

Assessment of practical training

Supervised practical training, assessed in accordance with the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University.

The assessment of examinations and practical training is carried out in accordance with the applicable rules set out in the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges, the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet and the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of examiners at OsloMet. The forms of assessment and criteria are described in each course description.

Examinations

All courses conclude with an examination. The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course, and the degree to which the student has achieved the stipulated learning outcomes is assessed. In theoretical courses, the grades used are pass/fail or letter grades from A to F, with A being the highest grade and E the poorest pass grade. The grade F means that the student has failed the examination. The grades pass/fail are used for the assessment of practical training.

Resit and rescheduled examinations are carried out in the same manner as the ordinary examination unless otherwise specified in the course description. In special cases, resit and rescheduled examinations in courses with group examinations may be held as individual examinations.

For examinations where a percentage of the examination papers are selected for assessment by an external examiner, the external examiner's assessment should benefit all the students.

The grade awarded for a written examination can be appealed, cf. Section 11-10 of the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges and the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet. It is not possible to appeal the grades awarded for oral and practical examinations. In connection with group examinations, the result of an appeal will only have consequences for the candidate(s) who submitted the appeal. The other students will keep their original grade.

External programme supervisor

An external programme supervisor scheme is in place for the programme as required by the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet. The external supervisor will write an annual report on their work that will be included in the faculty’s area of the university’s quality assurance system.

Suitability assessment

The suitability assessment is a continuous overall assessment that takes place throughout the study programme. A student must be suitable for professional practice in order to receive diploma/certificate for the study programme.

If it appears that a student may pose a potential danger to the lives, physical and mental health, rights or safety of patients, clients and users during practical training or in future professional practice, it should be asked whether the student is suitable for the profession. University staff, personnel in practical training establishment, as well as students can submit a notification of doubt. The students concerned should be informed as soon as possible if such a notification of doubt has been sent. They should receive guidance and advice on how they can improve or be advised to withdraw from the programme.

Suitability assessment is used in specialisation in Public Health Nursing, specialisation in Cancer Nursing and in Interdisciplinary Specialisation in Mental Health and Addiction.

The candidate prepare and implement a 15 minutes individual oral presentation. The candidate’s own project/field of research interest should be shortly presented to afford a meaningful discussion on its relevance (or lack of relevance) to ABR. The candidate is free to choose the topic(s) within ABR that will constitute the main part of the presentation; however, references from the reading list must support the discussion.

The presentation can be in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English and multi-modality is encouraged. Following the presentation there will be a sequence in which the candidate responds to questions and receive comments from the course leader, sensor and others.

In case of failed exam/legal absence, the candidate may have a new exam under the same conditions when a new/postponed exam is arranged.
