Coursework assignments

Coursework assignments are defined in the individual course descriptions and further requirements are described in the work and teaching plan for the course. Assignments are carried out individually and in groups.

Coursework assignments are given the assessment Approved/Not approved. In courses with coursework assignments, the students must receive an approved on the coursework assignments in order to be able to take examinations and be given a final assessment of the course.

Not approved coursework requirements

Legitimate absence based on e.g. a medical certificate, does not exempt students from meeting the coursework requirements. Students, who due to illness or any other documented legitimate absence, who do not meet the coursework requirements within the appointed deadline, should as far as possible, be given a new attempt to meet the requirements, before the relevant examination.

Vurderingsuttrykk

Vurderingsuttrykkene som brukes er Bestått-Ikke bestått eller gradert karakter A–F, der A er beste karakter, E er laveste beståtte karakter, og F er ikke bestått. Ved gruppeeksamen får alle i gruppen samme karakter.

Ny og utsatt eksamenNy og utsatt eksamen gjennomføres på samme måte som ordinær eksamen hvis ikke annet er angitt i emneplanen. Ved ny og utsatt eksamen i emner med gruppe-eksamen kan det i spesielle tilfeller være aktuelt å gjennomføre eksamen individuelt.

Klage på karakterSensuren ved skriftlig eksamen kan påklages. Det er ikke mulig å klage på sensur ved muntlige og praktiske eksamener. Ved gruppeeksamener vil resultatet av en klage bare ha konsekvenser for de som klager. De andre studentene beholder sin opprinnelige karakter.

Praksisopplæringen består av totalt 60 dager veiledet pedagogisk praksis i utdanningsinstitusjon og kunst/kultur institusjon. Praksisopplæringen har egen emneplan. OsloMet er ansvarlig for organisering av praksis, og Institutt for estetiske fag inngår samarbeid med egnede utdanningsinstitusjoner og/eller kunst-/kulturinstitusjoner. Praksis gjennomføres i hovedsak innen Oslo, Akershus, Buskerud og Østfold fylker, og det må påregnes noe ekstra reisetid i praksisperiodene. I 2. semester kan det være mulig å ha undervisningspraksis på folkehøgskoler, kulturskoler, ulike kulturarenaer og andre voksenpedagogiske miljøer. Praksisperiodene er organisert i to fem-ukers perioder bestående av observasjon, undervisningspraksis/formidlingspraksis og muntlig praksisframlegg. I tillegg gjennomføres praksisdager med pedagogisk opplegg knyttet til museumsformidling både i 1. og 2. semester. Det bestemte antall praksisdager er absolutte og obligatoriske. Praksis vurderes som bestått/ikke bestått. Ved ikke godkjent praksis gis det mulighet for å gjennomføre praksis på nytt en gang.

Praksis 1. semester: Praksisfelt er grunnskole og kunst-/kulturinstitusjoner

Praksis 2. semester: Praksisfelt er videregående skole og kunst-/kulturinstitusjoner

Skikkethetsvurdering

Lærerutdanningsinstitusjonen har ansvar for å vurdere om studenter som tar studiet praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning er skikket for læreryrket. Studenter er underlagt skikkethetsvurdering gjennom hele studiet. Studenter som viser liten evne til å mestre læreryrket får orientering om hvordan de står i henhold til kravene om skikkethet, og vil få utvidet veiledning. Ved manglende evne til forbedring får studenten råd om å avslutte utdanningen.

Skikkethetsvurderingen skal bygge på en helhetsvurdering som omfatter faglige, pedagogiske og personlige forutsetninger for å kunne fungere som lærer. Forskrift om skikkethetsvurdering i høyere utdanning kan leses på http://www.lovdata.no/for/sf/kd/kd-20060630-0859.html

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.
