Fakultet for lærerutdanning og internasjonale studier

Institutt for barnehagelærerutdanning

Emnet er organisert som et samlings- og nettbasert studium. Studentene vil gjennom hele semesteret være organisert i faste grupper (Basisgrupper). En vesentlig del av studiet er ulike arbeidsoppgaver mellom samlingene, både gruppebasert og individuelt. Det vil også legges til rette for nettbasert veiledning. Det er nødvendig at studentene har tilknytning til grunnskolen eller videregående skole underveis i studiet. Det blir lagt vekt på studentaktive læringsformer som gruppefremlegg, caseoppgaver og veiledningsøvelser. Egne erfaringer fra veiledningsøvelser for eksempel dokumentert i lyd- eller videopptak kan inngå som materiale i arbeidskrav. 

The program is taught in English, with regards to both instruction and literature used. In addition, students are given the opportunity to take the entire third semester abroad, at one of our partner institutions which include Queensland University of Technology and Michigan Technological University.

Furthermore, OsloMet and the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design have several exchange agreements which are suitable for the program. Within the Erasmus + program, the faculty has long lasting agreements with Avans University of Applied Science in the Netherlands and ESIEE Paris in France, both of which allow for exchange of students in this program.

The faculty has a dedicated web page with information about student exchanges: https://student.oslomet.no/utveksling-tkd

A coursework requirement is a compulsory piece of work/activity that must be approved before the student may take an examination. Coursework requirements are assessed as either "approved" or "not approved".

The coursework requirements in this master’s program include projects, written reports, oral presentations, mandatory exercises, and laboratory exercises. These mandatory assignments can be individual or in groups. The coursework requirements for each individual course are listed in the course description for that specific course.

The forms of assessment are designed to best fit the learning outcomes of the program and to verify that the students have acquired them. Assessment methods vary between different courses, and include written reports, portfolio assessment, oral examinations (oral presentations and oral defenses), and written exams.

The forms of assessment and grade scale are described in detail in the individual course descriptions. Two alternative grading scales can be used: A-F scale, with A to E for pass (A being the highest grade) and F for fail; or pass/fail grading scale.

The master's thesis is assessed by an evaluation team conformed by two examiners, one external and one internal. In addition to submitting a written report, students must also give an oral presentation of the thesis. The examiners set the grade for the master's thesis after the oral presentation and questioning. The thesis supervisor is not involved in the assessment of the thesis’ grade. This form of assessment is applied in several other courses as well. This is to ensure that students are comfortable with the assessment form in advance of the thesis project.

The students' rights and obligations are set out in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet, https://student.oslomet.no/en/acts-regulation. These regulations describe the conditions for resetting/rescheduling exams, the right to appeal (written examinations can be appealed, oral exams cannot be appealed), the definitions of cheating in exams, etc. Students are responsible for their registration in resist or rescheduled exams.

Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with these rules and regulations.

Quality assurance

The purpose of OsloMet's quality assurance system is to strengthen students' learning outcomes and development by raising the quality at all levels. Cooperation with the students, and their participation in the quality assurance work, is decisive to the overall learning outcome. Among the overall goals for the quality assurance system is to ensure:

• that the educational activities, including practical training and the learning and study environment, maintain a high level of quality
• that the study programmes are relevant for the professional fields
• that the quality development continues to improve

For the students, this entails, among other things, student evaluations in the form of:

• course evaluations
• annual student surveys for all of OsloMet

More information about the quality assurance system is available here: https://student.oslomet.no/regelverk#etablering-studium-evaluering-kvalitetssystem

Programme supervisor scheme

The programme supervisor scheme is part of the quality assurance of each individual study programme. A programme supervisor is not an examiner, but someone who supervises the quality of the study programmes. All study programmes at OsloMet shall be subject to supervision by a programme supervisor, but there are different ways of practising the scheme. Reference is made to the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet: https://student.oslomet.no/retningslinjer-sensorer
