Supplementary education for nurses educated outside the EU/EEC Programme description

Det blir lagt til rette for å inkludere internasjonale perspektiver gjennom hele studiet ved bl.a. å gi studentene innsikt i internasjonal yrkesopplæring og bruk av engelskspråklig litteratur. Dette er viktig for å gi et internasjonalt perspektiv på yrkesfaglærerutdanningen. Utdanningen gir et internasjonalt fokus blant annet gjennom bruk av relevant og komparativ internasjonal forskning, faglitteratur og nettressurser.

Videre blir det lagt til rette for at deler av utdanningen kan tas i utlandet gjennom de internasjonale samarbeidsavtalene lærerutdanningen har etablert. Dette gjelder 5. semester som er spesielt tilrettelagt for utveksling, men det er også muligheter for utveksling i de andre semestrene avhengig av hvilken studieretning studenten går på. I det 5. semesteret, det internasjonale semesteret, er også tilrettelagt for å ta imot innreisende studenter, og da vil undervisningen bli gjennomført på engelsk. I det internasjonale semesteret vil det i undervisningen bli lagt til rette for et internasjonalt perspektiv på yrkesutøvelse, yrkesopplæring og yrkesfagutdanning. Dette innebærer at studentene får innsikt i internasjonal yrkesopplæring, og bruk av internasjonal litteratur.

I løpet av studiet skal studentene dokumentere ulike arbeidskrav som beskrives i emneplanene. Arbeidskravene er både knyttet til læringsfellesskapet på samlinger, pedagogisk praksis i skolen og yrkesfaglig praksis i bedrift. Arbeidskravene skal videreutvikle studentenes yrkesfaglige kompetanse og evne til å reflektere over egen undervisning og sentrale problemstillinger som er relevante for læreryrket. Studiet legger stor vekt på at studentene utvikler evne til å være aktive deltakere i utviklingsarbeid i fellesskap med andre.

Arbeidskrav kan dokumenteres skriftlig, muntlig eller ved andre dokumentasjonsformer (for eksempel film, multimodale tekster o.l.) og skal være levert/utført innen fastsatt(e) frist(er). Gyldig fravær dokumentert med for eksempel sykemelding, gir ikke fritak for å innfri arbeidskrav. Studenter som på grunn av sykdom eller annen dokumentert gyldig årsak ikke leverer/utfører arbeidskrav innen fristen, kan få forlenget frist. Ny frist for å innfri arbeidskrav avtales i hvert enkelt tilfelle med den aktuelle faglæreren.

Arbeidskrav vurderes til «Godkjent» eller «Ikke godkjent». Studenter som leverer/utfører arbeidskrav innen fristen, men som får vurderingen «Ikke godkjent», har anledning til én ny innlevering/utførelse. Studenten må da selv avtale ny innlevering av det aktuelle arbeidskravet med faglærer. Studenter som ikke leverer/utfører arbeidskrav innen fristen og som ikke har dokumentert gyldig årsak, får ingen nye forsøk. Alle arbeidskrav som er synliggjort i emnebeskrivelsen må være godkjent før eksamen kan gjennomføres.

Nærmere informasjon om arbeidskrav finnes i den enkelte emneplan.

Obligatorisk tilstedeværelse

Yrkesfaglærerutdanningen krever at studentene er aktive deltakere på alle organiserte opplæringsaktiviteter og at de bidrar med sine refleksjoner og erfaringer i det læringsfellesskapet klassen utgjør. Studenter med mer enn 20% fravær fra alle organiserte opplæringsaktiviteter i et emne får ikke avlegge eksamen. Gyldig fravær, dokumentert med for eksempel sykmelding, gir ikke fritak for kravet om deltakelse. Gyldig fravær kan kompenseres etter nærmere avtale med, og vurdering av faglærer/emneansvarlig lærer.

Bestemmelser om eksamen er gitt i forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet.

På de eksamener der det benyttes to interne sensorer, skal tilsynssensor evaluere vurderings-/eksamensordningen på emnet minst en gang i løpet av tilsynssensors fungeringsperiode på tre år, jf. retningslinjer for oppnevning og bruk av sensorer ved OsloMet. Se nærmere omtale av bruk av sensorer i den enkelte emneplan.

Programplanen er godkjent av Utdanningsutvalget LUI 25.09.2019

OsloMet emphasises a good and developing learning environment that the students can thrive in. The work and teaching methods have been developed on the basis of a socio-cultural view of learning, where the overriding principle is to make use of your own thoughts, knowledge and experience. Written and spoken Norwegian professional language will be emphasised throughout the course. The student’s own efforts, individually or together with others, are decisive for good learning outcomes. Students are expected to prepare ahead of organised teaching activities. Varied work methods are used both in theoretical subjects and in clinical training and these can be carried out physically on campuses or on digital platforms.

The programme also prepares students for the labour market’s requirement of lifelong learning. Students are therefore expected to take ownership of their own learning process throughout the period of study, during which they will both learn how to ‘become a nurse’ and ‘learn how to learn’. Students are also expected to contribute to creating a good learning environment through active participation in the different teaching activities.

Self-study and student cooperation

The attainment of the learning outcomes requires a high degree of self-study. Self-study entails both individual work and cooperation with fellow students. This awareness of how you best learn. It is recommended that students take the initiative to form study groups.

Group work

Group work means working with other students. In the groups, students will discuss each other’s contributions and share knowledge and perspectives. They will gain experience of cooperation and of assessing, developing and disseminating relevant literature. The students will give and receive feedback from others.

Digital learning resources

Digital learning resources video clips, podcasts, games, academic texts, articles and interactive assignments used as part of the learning methods. Digital co-writing tools are used in some courses for the purpose of sharing knowledge and producing texts together. Digital self-corrected tests (quizzes) provide an opportunity for the students to practise and test their knowledge of the course content.

Simulation and skills training (SF-unit)

The goal of the simulation and proficiency unit (SF-unit) is to enable students in the nursing profession to learn and practise different skills and procedures to be prepared to meet the field of practice, both as a student and as a nurse, and to prepare for the trade exam.

Lectures

Lectures are used either to gain an overview of the course’s content or to delve into a specific topic. Lectures are used particularly when introducing new subject matters.

Flipped classroom

Through the flipped classroom, students work on digital learning resources before they attend joint lectures. During teaching sessions, students work on problem-solving activities, often in the form of group work or seminars.

Seminar/workshop

Here, students practise using professional terminology, expressing their own opinions and reflecting on their own attitudes and actions, in addition to presenting and discussing subject matter and assessing other students' academic presentations. In the workshop, students can work with, for example, drug billing and the development of professional language.

Posters

Posters are a visual presentation where different types of projects are presented in a short and systematic manner.

Interprofessional cooperative learning (TPS)

Interprofessional cooperative learning comprises all ways of working where students participate in clinical training arenas that entail cooperation with professionals from other fields.

Students are expected to prepare ahead of each clinical training period. In preparation for each period, teaching sessions will be held at the university or digitally. The theme for preparatory theory week is:

• Communication in clinical training with patients, next of kin and colleagues
• Training and supervision in the university’s simulation and skills unit
• How the learning outcomes for the clinical training can be specified in the practical training

SupervisionClinical training is supervised. This means that the contact lecturer from the university supervises the students both individually and in groups throughout their clinical training, in cooperation with a supervisor from the professional field. The supervisor from the professional field follow op the students here.

Written assignments In each clinical training period, the students submit written assignments that are delivered to the contact lecturer, which forms the basis for the supervision. The students will receive written or oral feedback. The assignments are an integrated part of clinical training and form part of the assessment of the student’s common knowledge/general competence.

ShiftsAttendance at clinical training totals an average of 30 hours a week. Study days must be evenly distributed over the course of the clinical training period. Depending on the clinical training establishment and period, the student should do shifts during the day, evening, night and weekend during the period, and he/she should primarily follow the clinical training supervisor’s shift arrangements where possible. The shift plan functions as a contract and cannot be changed without the approval of the contact lecturer and the clinical training supervisor.

Compulsory attendance and absence from clinical trainingTThe practical training takes place in Oslo and in the Eastern part of the country, and commutes are therefore to be expected. Practical training consists of both practical training, activities along the way and supervised practical training that takes place during the practical training period. Each week is planned with an expected workload of 40 hours. Compulsory attendance during supervised practice periods amounts to an average of 30 hours per week, and 90 per cent attendance is required during this period.. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that their absence from clinical courses does not exceed the permitted amount. The frames are:

• Less than 10% absence: The student can complete the clinical course as normal.
• 10–20%: If possible, the student can make up for the clinical training missed. This must be agreed with the clinical training supervisor and the contact lecturer at the university.
• More than 20% absence: The student must re-take the whole clinical training course.

Illness during clinical training periodsIf students fall ill and their absence from a clinical course exceeds 20%, a medical certificate is required for all days of absence in excess of 10%. The absence will then be deemed to be valid, and the student will have to re-take the clinical course in its entirety. This will lead to delayed progress in the programme.

Criteria practical training

One or more of these criteria is the basis for the grade Failed in practical training in the complementary programme at OsloMet:

The student:

• has not complied with the attendance requirement
• has been absent from practice without a valid reason and without giving notice
• have not achieved the required learning outcomes for the practical training period
• have not completed compulsory activities or handed in written assignments that are stipulated in the assessment form for the practical training period
• has put the patient's life and health at risk by going beyond the limits of their own competence
• has not requested guidance, followed guidance, or shown a willingness and ability to acquire missing knowledge or competence
• shows lack of self-insight
• shows a lack of language and/or communication skills

Coursework requirements can be written work, compulsory attendance, oral presentations and tests that are set as a condition for taking the exam/assessment. The coursework requirements are carried out individually or in groups. Coursework requirements are given the assessment approved/not approved. During the practical training, there may be compulsory activities that are included in the overall assessment of the course. Reference is made to the course descriptions for further information on which coursework requirements and compulsory activities apply in the course description.

The purpose is to promote progression and professional development in the programme, stimulate seeking out and acquiring new knowledge and facilitate interaction and communication on academic issues. Coursework requirements and compulsory activities are designed for students to develop competence in line with the learning outcome descriptions in the course.

Normally, there are three attempts at coursework requirements. As far as possible, the second attempt will be given before the ordinary exam/assessment, unless otherwise stated in the course description. A third and final attempt is normally given before a resit and rescheduled exams. Coursework requirements that are not approved must be improved or retaken. The course coordinator/lecturer can assess whether an alternative work can be carried out. This is agreed between the individual student/group and the course coordinator/lecturer.

Not approved coursework requirements may result in delays in the programme.

Compulsory attendance

Attendance is compulsory for teaching activities covering subject matter that the student cannot acquire on his or her own. These requirements are made more concrete and visible in the course plans. This means that there is a requirement for attendance of 80 % in theory studies and practical training in scheduled activities that are marked compulsory and 90 % during the practical training period. If the student exceeds the limit for absence, the course coordinator/lecturer will consider whether it is possible to do an alternative work, such as oral or written individual assignments. The possibility of this depends on how much absence has been and which activities the student has not participated in.

Different forms of assessment are used in the programme that are adapted to the learning outcomes of the different courses. The forms of assessment used are intended to support learning and document that the students’ competence is adequate in relation to the applicable learning outcomes. The students will receive advice and supervision and have their performance assessed during the programme. It is important and necessary to assess students’ knowledge and skills often, so that the students receive feedback on their performance is in line with the programme’s requirements and whether they have achieved the learning outcomes.

The assessment of exams and clinical 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 – Oslo Metropolitan University, and the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University.

Passing the trade exam is one of the conditions for being granted authorisation as a general nurse. On 5 June 2019, the Directorate of Health decided that students who complete the programme at OsloMet meet this additional requirement by taking SKOMP3000.

Exam papers and coursework must be written in Norwegian or another Scandinavian language.

AssessmentThe grades used are pass/fail or a grade scale with letter grades from A to F, where A is the highest grade, E is the poorest pass grade and F is a fail. In connection with group exams, all students in the group are awarded the same grade.

Transcript of gradesAll grades will be included in the transcript of grades. The practical examination in nursing must be completed in order to pass the programme and be awarded 60 credits.

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

Appeals against gradesGrades awarded for written exams can be appealed. It is not possible to appeal the grades awarded for oral and practical exams. In connection with group exams, 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.

Suitability assessment

The suitability assessment is a continuous overall assessment that takes place throughout the study programme. If a student shows signs of posing a potential threat to patients’ and/or colleagues’ physical and mental health, rights and safety, questions must be raised about whether the person is fit to practise the profession. Staff from the university, the professional field and fellow students may all submit a notification of doubt. Students must be informed as soon as possible that the notification has been submitted. They will be given supervision and advice on how to improve or be advised to leave the programme.

The aim is to assess whether the students have the professional and personal qualifications required to work as a nurse. More detailed provisions about the assessment of suitability can be found here.

Transfer discussion

If a student or subject teacher/contact teacher reports a need for a transfer discussion, an interview can be called before the next course. In some cases, the head of studies and a representative of the Section for Academic Affairs may also attend.

The purpose of the transfer discussion is to clarify how the student can implement their learning outcomes in the best possible way in the next course, by facilitating various learning challenges and guidance needs.
