Master's Programme in Media Development Programme description

Studiet ”Anerkjennelse og vurdering av realkompetanse” er en videreutdanning på bachelornivå og skal kvalifisere studentene til arbeid med kartlegging, vurdering, dokumentasjon og verdsetting av voksnes realkompetanse samt veiledning av personer med rett til realkompetansevurdering.

Med realkompetanse menes både formell, uformell og ikke-formell kompetanse som er likeverdig med kompetanse oppnådd gjennom det norske utdanningssystemet. Erfaring, kunnskap og kompetanse bygges på flere steder og på ulike måter. Studiet omhandler en helhetlig vurdering av enkeltpersoners kompetanse som kvalifisering til arbeid eller som opptak til offentlig godkjente utdanninger.

Arbeidsmarkedet er i rask endring og dette fører til krav om kontinuerlig oppdatering av kompetanse både i arbeid og gjennom utdanningssystemet. Det er også et økende antall innvandrere som ikke har kompetanse fra det norske utdanningssystemet. Resultatet er en økning av søkere til utdanningstilbud på alle nivåer i utdanningssystemet med et annerledes utdannings- og erfaringsgrunnlag. Realkompetansevurdering er en metode og et system for å ivareta likeverdig vurdering av tilegnet kompetanse i forhold til krav som stilles for opptak til og gjennomføring av en offentlig godkjent utdanning.

Verdsetting av realkompetanse skjer som resultat av en prosess der flere aktører er involvert. Studiet vil derfor vektlegge et tett samarbeid mellom aktørene i realkompetansevurderingsprosessen som studentene er i kontakt med i sin arbeidshverdag.

Opptakskrav til studiet er bestått lærerutdanning innrettet for undervisning i skolen. Søkere med bestått førskole- eller barnehagelærerutdanning må ha tilleggsutdanning for å undervise i barneskolens 1. til 4. trinn (GLSM 60 studiepoeng eller GLSM 30 og 30 studiepoeng i matematikk eller norsk rettet mot barnetrinnet eller PAPS 1+2). Studenter som innvilges studieplass må være i arbeid som lærer eller ha kontakt med en skole der det er mulig å ta aktivt del i undervisning. Kravet om bestått lærerutdanning kan fravikes dersom søkeren kun mangler faget hun/han søker på for å få fullført sin lærerutdanning.

Søkere rangeres etter karakterpoeng fra lærerutdanningen. Søkere som har fått innvilget stipend og/eller vikarmidler fra Utdanningsdirektoratet (Udir), får 5 tilleggspoeng.

The study is normally taken as a full-time study of two years, spread over four semesters or as a part-time study over four years, spread over eight semesters. Because working life in the journalism, non-fiction and media and communication industries is characterized by a large degree of interdisciplinarity and constant changes in which competencies and skills are in demand, the study is structured so that students have great freedom to a) choose subjects across the three fields of study: journalism, media and communication and non-fiction, and b) to choose subjects in other master's programs at higher education institutions in Norway or internationally. For the same reason, the master's theses are 60 credits, which gives students a lot of flexibility and freedom of choice in what they want to immerse themselves in.

The master's program consists of two compulsory courses of 10 credits that are common to all fields of study. The field of study non-fiction also has one compulsory course of 10 credits, because it to a lesser extent than the other two is based on a professional community created through joint bachelor education. All other courses are optional and can be chosen across the fields of study, but a student must 1) take a minimum of 10 credits within the field of study in addition to the master's thesis, which amounts to 60 credits and 2) take at least one course (10 credits) taught in English. Some courses have prerequisites, which are stated in the course plans.

Studiet er helt nettbasert, men krever at studentene følger en gitt plan og progresjon, for å skape et felles læringsmiljø med øvrige deltakere og involverte lærere. Studiet vil ta i bruk instruksjonsvideoer, nettbaserte forelesninger og diskusjoner og det vil bli gitt tilbud om veiledning i nettmøter.

Studiet forutsetter studentaktivitet knyttet til praktiske øvingsoppgaver, samarbeid, refleksjoner, medstudentvurderinger og erfaringsdeling på egen arbeidsplass. Det vil også bli lagt til rette for flervalgsoppgaver for egenevaluering.

The field of practice is an important qualification arena for developing action competence in theatre nursing and evidence-based practice. Professionally sound theatre nursing practice must be learned in direct interaction with patients. This is the only way in which students can gain experience and encounter challenges of sufficient complexity to allow them to achieve the programme¿s learning outcomes. When nursing acutely and/or critically ill patients, decisions must often be made quickly, and through practical training, students acquire the practical experience needed to develop an immediate understanding of the patients¿ situation and the knowledge and action required.

Practical training in the programme is organised as three courses. When calculating the practical training, we assume that 5 days in practice is a week. Theory and / or study days are not included in the calculation of scope out in practice.The practical training must make up no less than 50% and no more than 60% of the programme, and at least 90% of the practical training must involve patient contact; see the requirements set out in the national curriculum for further education in theatre nursing.

Clinical Studies in Theatre Nursing

· First semester: OPERAPRA10, 20 credits (13 weeks - about 65 days of practical training)

· Second semester: OPERAPRA20, 15 credits (10 weeks - about 50 days of practical training)

· Third semester: OPERAPRA3, 10 credits (7 weeks - about 35 days of practical training)

The practical training is organised such that on completion of the programme, the student will have gained experience of and developed theatre nursing action competence in relation to all common conditions, important forms of treatment and different patient situations.

The practical training must include specialist departments where the patient¿s vital functions are threatened or failing. Students should primarily take practical training in the following areas at the surgical department: 

· gynaecology and obstetrics

· gastrointestinal surgery

· endocrine surgery

· orthopaedic surgery

· thoracic surgery

· vascular surgery

· neurosurgery

· urological surgery

Supervision 

Practical training will be supervised, and the student is guaranteed supervision by a nurse with advanced training or a master's degree in theatre nursing.

Operationalisation of learning outcomes 

The student shall specify the learning outcomes for each course based on his/her own preconditions for learning and the framework conditions at the unit where the course is taken. This must be approved by the practical training supervisor and lecturer. These learning outcome descriptions must be concrete, relevant, realistic and measurable. They must describe observable behaviour, for example actions, performance or skills, or results of an unobservable mental behaviour such as a change in attitude. They are intended to help to clarify what the student needs to learn and which learning situations are required to achieve this. This provides a direction for the supervision/instruction required and indications for use in the assessment.

A conversation between the student, the practical training supervisor and the lecturer will take place within the first two or three weeks of a practical training course. The purpose of this conversation is to maintain continuity and progress in the student's learning and development. The lecturer and practical training supervisor must have received the student¿s specification of the learning outcomes in advance so that the conversation can be as constructive as possible.

Shifts 

The practical training courses comprise approx. 32 hours per week. Students must expect to work a certain number of evening shifts during the programme. The student prepares a shift plan for each course for approval by the university and the department where the student is taking the practical training. Continuity in supervision is a goal when preparing the shift plan, and the student should therefore follow the practical training supervisor¿s shift arrangements where possible.

Compulsory attendance at practical training

Attendance is compulsory in areas that are important for achieving action competence as a theatre nurse and where the student cannot acquire knowledge through self-study. This means that attendance is compulsory during practical training courses. In order to pass a practical training course, the student must have attended at least 90% of the planned activities in each course. Students must make up for absence exceeding 10% by agreement with the lecturer and the practical training establishment. If a student¿s absence exceeds 20%, he/she will fail the course. Absence is calculated on the basis of the programme overview/practical training plan for each course.

Elective practical training 

Students have the opportunity to organise a total of 1¿5 weeks of elective practical training in the course of the programme. The elective practical training must be completed at a practical training establishment relevant to the target group and/or functions of theatre nurses. The student must contact the practical training establishment him/herself and submit a written application for elective practical training for the university¿s approval. Such approval will not be granted if the student is at risk of failing a practical training assessment. In addition, the student must have passed all previous exams in the programme. Elective practical training must be funded by the student.

Hovedformålet med vurdering og veiledning er å forbedre den faglige og didaktiske utviklingen hos den enkelte student. Vurdering og veiledning skal skje fortløpende gjennom hele året. Skriftlige arbeider følges opp av faglærere med veiledning og muntlig og/eller skriftlig tilbakemelding. Etter hvert halvår skal studenter og faglærere oppsummere og evaluere undervisningen og andre læringsaktiviteter.

Eksamenskandidatens rettigheter og plikter framgår av forskrift for studier og eksamen ved OsloMet – storbyuniversitetet. Forskriften beskriver blant annet vilkår for ny/utsatt eksamen, klageadgang og hva som regnes som fusk ved eksamen. Studenten har plikt til å gjøre seg kjent med bestemmelsene i forskriften.

Retten til å avlegge eksamen forutsetter godkjente arbeidskrav.

Required coursework is all types of work and tests that are conditions for being permitted to take the exam. In this programme, the required coursework comprises:

• written assignments
• documentation of literature selected by the student
• teaching to/or providing guidance to patients, nursing students, theatre nurse and fellow students
• specifying learning outcomes for practical training courses

The main purpose of coursework requirements is to promote the students¿ progress and academic development in the programme, stimulate students to seek out and acquire new knowledge, and facilitate cooperation and communication in relation to professional issues.

FeedbackThe students receive written and/or verbal feedback from the lecturer and/or fellow students on their written assignments based on the criteria of relevance, theoretical knowledge, in-depth study, ethical reflection, independence and how the assignment is presented.

ApprovalRequired coursework is assessed as approved/not approved. Required coursework that is not approved must be improved before re-submission. If the work is not approved on re-submission, the student cannot take the ordinary exam. Students are entitled to a third attempt before the resit/rescheduled exam. If the third attempt at a coursework requirement is not approved, the student cannot take the resit/rescheduled exam and will have to wait until the ordinary exam for the following year. The student will then be entitled to three new attempts with the new class.
