Educational Theory and Practice in Art and Design Education - part-time Programme description

Programplanen er utarbeidet ved OsloMet etter forskrift til rammeplan for praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning, fastsatt av Kunnskapsdepartementet 21.desember 2015 med hjemmel i lov 1.april 2005 nr. 15 om universiteter og høgskoler (universitets- og høyskoleloven) § 3-2 annet ledd.

Praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning i design, kunst og håndverk, deltid er et profesjonsstudium på 60 studiepoeng, organisert over to år. Hovedområdene i utdanningen er pedagogikk (30 studiepoeng) samt fagdidaktikk (30 studiepoeng). I tillegg har studenten undervisningspraksis i både grunnskole og videregående skole.

Fagfeltet forvalter viktig og samfunnsrelevant kunnskap, der både innovasjon, entreprenørskap og bærekraft står sentralt. Lærere i design, kunst og håndverk bruker visuelle virkemidler i undervisningen for å gi barn og unge en mulighet til å utvikle skaperevne og estetisk sans. Læreren tar i bruk ulike materialer, redskaper og teknikker slik at elevene lærer om sammenhenger mellom materialer, tradisjon og kultur gjennom praktisk-estetisk og skapende arbeid.

Varied and student-active teaching methods are used in the programme. Good learning outcomes are first and foremost dependent on the students’ own efforts. The number of hours of adapted teaching at the university will be relatively low. Own effort means both benefiting from teaching and academic supervision and following this up with independent work in the form of theoretical studies and, if relevant, practical skills training. Normal study progress requires students to make great personal efforts. The most important work and teaching forms used in each course in the programme are described below. The individual course descriptions state which work methods each course employs. Practical training is described in a separate chapter; see below.

Web-based work and teaching methods

Several forms of digital learning resources are used in the programme, such as digital textbooks, digital lectures, video clips, podcasts, tests, learning pathways and assignments. These resources can be used to prepare for teaching sessions, during seminars using the flipped classroom method, and as part of self-study. This form of teaching requires the students to meet prepared for the scheduled teaching sessions. Interaction can also take place digitally, in the form of Skype meetings, webinars etc.

Self-study and student cooperation/group work

Learning requires a high degree of own activity and self-study, including both individual work and cooperation with fellow students. Through activities such as exchanging ideas, presentations, discussions, writing assignments and problem-based assignments, students will be stimulated to learn by communicating knowledge and experience, expressing their own opinions and, together, reflecting on their own attitudes, actions and understanding of the field. Students are encouraged to take initiative to schedule and actively participate in study groups to promote learning.

Lectures

Lectures are primarily used to introduce new subject matter, provide an overview and highlight main elements and links within different topics, and also to communicate relevant issues.

Seminars

Seminars emphasise dialogue and discussion between the subject teacher(s) and students in order to stimulate the student's academic development. Verbal presentations by students and discussions are emphasised.

In connection with the master's thesis, seminars are held where the master's theses are presented and discussed. The students receive feedback from their fellow students and teachers, which enables them to learn from each other. Research-related issues, methods and academic supervision are among the topics discussed in the seminars. Seminars can also take place on digital collaboration platforms.

Written assignments and academic supervision

Through written assignments and the master's thesis, students will formulate research questions for assignments and work on them over time, either individually or in cooperation with other students. They will learn theory and develop skills in using and referencing sources, analysis, discussion and written and oral communication. The primary purpose of this is to develop their ability to reflect critically, see elements in context and develop a deeper understanding of a subject.

Developing academic writing skills is a key aspect of all parts of the programme. Supervision is an important component of the work on the master's thesis. The supervision is intended to ensure that the project complies with research ethics principles and help students to formulate the research question and ensure quality in the collection and analysis of data.

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
• MAVIT4700 Food, Health and Sustainability, 10 ECTS credits
• MAVIT5100 Health Communication, 10 ECTS credits
• MAPSY4400 Mental Health of Migrants and Minorities, 10 stp.

The courses listed above will be taught in English if international students have registered for them. Otherwise, courses will generally be taught in Norwegian.

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.

Coursework requirements are all types of work, tests and compulsory attendance that are requirements for being permitted to take the examination. Coursework requirements can be individual or in groups. Required coursework is assessed as approved/not approved. The coursework requirements for each course are described in the relevant course description.

The primary purpose of coursework requirements is to promote students' progress and academic development and to encourage them to acquire new knowledge. The programme's main coursework requirements are in the form of compulsory attendance, written assignments and tests.

Compulsory attendance

Attendance is compulsory in areas where the student cannot acquire knowledge and skills simply by studying literature.

If a student exceeds the maximum limit for absence stated in the course description or do not participate in a group presentation, the lecturer will consider whether it is possible to compensate for absence by meeting alternative requirements. This can e.g. be written assignments or oral presentations, individually or in groups. If it is not possible to compensate for the absence, the student must take the course the next time it is taught. Whether or not it is possible to compensate for absence depends on the extent of the student’s absence and which activities he/she has missed.

Written assignments

Several courses have compulsory written assignments or reports as part of their coursework requirements. Written work 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 examination/assessment.

The students are entitled to a third attempt before the resit/rescheduled examination. If an assignment is not approved the third time it is submitted, the student must re-take the course with the next class.

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.

Praksisopplæringen består av totalt 60 dager veiledet pedagogisk praksis i utdanningsinstitusjon og kunst/kultur institusjon. Praksisopplæringen har felles emneplan. OsloMet er ansvarlig for organisering av praksis, og Institutt for estetiske fag inngår samarbeid med egnede utdanningsinstitusjoner/kunst/kultur institusjoner. I 2. semester gjennomføres undervisningspraksis i grunnskole. I 3. og 4. semester gjennomføres undervisningspraksis i videregående skole eller det vil 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. Her kan det legges til rette for individuelle behov for deltidsstudenter. I tillegg gjennomføres praksisdager knyttet til pedagogiske opplegg for kunst/kultur/museumsformidling. 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 2. semester: Praksisfelt er grunnskole og kunst-/kulturinstitusjoner

Praksis 3. og 4. semester: Praksisfelt er videregående skole og kunst-/kulturinstitusjoner

Praksis gjennomføres i hovedsak innen Oslo, Akershus, Buskerud og Østfold fylker, og det må påregnes noe ekstra reisetid i praksisperiodene.

Skikkethetsvurdering

Lærerutdanningsinstitusjonen har ansvar for å vurdere om studenter som tar studiet som en del av Praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning er skikket for læreryrket. Studenter som viser liten evne til å mestre læreryrket, må så tidlig som mulig i utdanningen få vite hvordan de står i henhold til kravene om lærerskikkethet og eventuelt få råd og veiledning til å bedre disse forholdene, eller få råd om å avslutte utdanningen. Konkrete beslutninger om skikkethet kan fattes gjennom hele studiet.

Skikkethetsvurderingen må bygge på en helhetsvurdering som omfatter både 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

Studiet er internasjonalt orientert og tar i bruk internasjonal forskning og faglitteratur. Noe av pensumlitteraturen er på engelsk. Noe av undervisningen kan også forekomme på engelsk. Det kan være aktuelt med gjesteforelesere, fra utenlandske institusjoner.

Det er knyttet obligatoriske arbeidskrav til hvert emne i utdanningsløpet. Arbeidskrav for hvert emne må være godkjent før studenten kan fremstille seg til eksamen i det aktuelle emnet. De obligatoriske arbeidskravene bidrar til å sikre at kandidaten når et tilfredsstillende læringsutbytte og vil prøve kandidatens evne til å behandle, reflektere og drøfte over teori og praksis.

Arbeidskrav kan være:

• skriftlige oppgaver

• deltagelse på seminarer
• muntlige presentasjoner
• eller mer praktiske og praksisnære oppgaver som utforming av undervisningsopplegg innenfor fag.

Arbeidskravene løses individuelt eller i gruppe. Arbeidskrav skal være innfridd innen fastsatte frister. Arbeidskrav vurderes til godkjent/ikke godkjent. Ved ikke godkjent har kandidaten anledning til å omarbeide arbeidskravet og levere til ny godkjenning ytterligere to gang.

Det forutsettes at kandidaten deltar aktivt i både undervisning, seminar og veiledning. Det er derfor krav om minimum 80% oppmøte på obligatorisk undervisning, seminar og veiledning. Dette skal sikre at studentene får delta aktivt i faglige refleksjoner og samarbeide om fagstoff knyttet til de ulike læringsutbyttene. Studenter som samlet har mer enn 20 prosent fravær fra obligatorisk deltagelse i et emne, får ikke anledning til å avlegge eksamen. Studenter som står i fare for å overskride fraværskvoten, får skriftlig melding om dette.

Gyldig fravær dokumentert ved for eksempel legeerklæring, fritar ikke for innfrielse av arbeidskrav. Studenter som på grunn av sykdom eller annen dokumentert gyldig årsak ikke innfrir arbeidskrav innen fristen, bør så langt det er mulig, kunne få et nytt forsøk før eksamen. Dette må avtales i hvert enkelt tilfelle med den aktuelle faglærer. Hvis det ikke er mulig å gjennomføre et nytt forsøk på grunn av fagets/emnets egenart, må studenten påregne å ta arbeidskravet ved neste mulige tidspunkt. Dette kan medføre forsinkelser i studieprogresjon.

Bestemmelser om eksamen er gitt i lov om universiteter og høgskoler og forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet og forskrift til rammeplan for praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning. Se OsloMets nettsider www.oslomet.no

Det skilles mellom underveisvurdering og avsluttende vurdering. Underveisvurdering skal bidra konstruktivt til læring og videreutvikling hos studenten. Den avsluttende vurderingen skjer ved eksamen. I forbindelse med avsluttende vurdering benyttes en karakterskala fra A til E for bestått (A er høyeste karakter og E er laveste) og F for ikke bestått. Bestått/ikke bestått benyttes for praksisopplæringen.

Muntlig eksamen skal sensureres av to sensorer. Det er kun formelle feil som kan påklages ved muntlig eksamen. Andre eksamensformer kan ha en sensor og kan påklages.

Studieprogresjon

Det er anbefalt å ha gjennomført og bestått emne 1 før studenten starter på emne 2. Dette gjelder for både pedagogikk og fagdidaktikk. Studenter som ikke har bestått en eksamen etter ny/utsatt prøve, bør følge undervisningen i faget på nytt og gå opp til neste ordinære eksamen. Unntak fra bestemmelsene ovenfor kan innvilges av instituttledelsen etter søknad dersom særskilte grunner skulle tale for det.

Utsatt/ny eksamen

Oppmelding til ny/utsatt eksamen gjøres i Studenweb etter gjeldende frister. Ny/utsatt eksamen arrangeres normalt tidlig i påfølgende semester. For studenter som har levert eksamen og ikke fått bestått arrangeres ny eksamen. For studenter som ikke fikk avlagt ordinær eksamen blir det arrangert utsatt eksamen. Vilkårene for å gå opp til ny/utsatt eksamen gis i forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet. Nærmere informasjon om oppmelding til og tidspunkt for ny/utsatt eksamen finnes på Studentweb.

Kvalitetssikring

Hensikten med kvalitetssikringssystemet for OsloMet er å styrke studentenes læringsutbytte og utvikling ved å heve kvaliteten i alle ledd. OsloMet ønsker å samarbeide med studentene, og deres deltakelse i kvalitetssikringsarbeidet er avgjørende. Noen overordnede mål for kvalitetssikringssystemet er:

• å sikre at utdanningsvirksomheten inkludert praksis, lærings- og studiemiljøet holder høy kvalitet
• å sikre utdanningenes relevans til yrkesfeltet
• å sikre en stadig bedre kvalitetsutvikling

For studenter innebærer dette blant annet studentevalueringer:

• emneevalueringer
• årlige studentundersøkelser felles for OsloMet

Mer informasjon om kvalitetssikringssystemet, se her: http://www.hioa.no/Om-HiOA/System-for-kvalitet-og-kvalitetsutvikling-for-utdanning-og-laeringsmiljoe-ved-HiOA

Tilsynssensorordning

Tilsynssensorordningen er en del av kvalitetssikringen av det enkelte studium. En tilsynssensor er ikke en eksamenssensor, men en som har tilsyn med kvaliteten i studiene. Alle studier ved OsloMet skal være under tilsyn av tilsynssensor, men det er rom for ulike måter å praktisere ordningen på. Viser til retningslinjer for oppnevning og bruk av sensorer ved OsloMet, se her: https://student.oslomet.no/retningslinjer-sensorer
