MAELD4100 Fysioterapi for hjemmeboende eldre personer Emneplan

Undervisningsspråk: Norsk

Emnet omfatter kunnskap om hjemmeboende eldre menneskers livssituasjon ut fra individuelle, samfunnsmessige og kulturelle perspektiver og rammer. Problemstillinger knyttet til svakstilte og utsatte grupper eldre blir spesielt vektlagt. Ulike teoretiske og analytiske perspektiver innen gerontologi og geriatri trekkes inn for å belyse hvordan eldre menneskers livssituasjon påvirker deres opplevelse, erfaringer, aktivitet og deltakelse. Det fokuseres på eldre som aktive aktører i sin hverdag og på deres egen forståelse og opplevelse av sin situasjon.

Studenten må være tatt opp på masterstudiet i helsevitenskap og ha autorisasjon som fysioterapeut.

Det forutsettes at studenten har/eller skaffer seg tilgang til fysioterapifaglig arbeid med eldre personer ved gjennomføring av emnet.

See the respective course descriptions for more detailed information about work methods, reading lists, assessment and exam aids. As indicated there, lectures, exercises, laboratory work, supervision and other teaching methods will be used to a varying extent in the different courses.

A course description is provided for each individual course. Before the programme starts, the person responsible for the course will prepare a detailed teaching plan for the course that will contain a reading list, a progress schedule, detailed information about exercise schedules and coursework requirements with applicable deadlines etc.

Special emphasis will be placed on the students acquiring a high level of engineering expertise and creativity. The mechanical engineering programme emphasises expertise and a professional attitude in the following courses and subject areas:

• Mathematical and natural science courses that form the basis for all engineering work
• Professional work methods in the mechanical subject areas relating to the design of new products and systems, choice of materials and analyses
• Creativity, communication, leadership and collaborative skills, and the ability to take social and societal responsibility
• ICT as a tool for developing and maintaining a high level of expertise in the field
• Healthy attitudes to the ecological, societal and financial consequences of applying technology that should pervade all their future activities as engineers
• The ability to work efficiently and independently
• Initiative, leadership qualities
• The ability to plan and carry out tasks independently and in projects
• Rising to challenges
• Self-management, orderliness, keeping appointments
• Ethics – ‘doing the right thing even if no one sees you’
• Quality assurance of work and solutions

The engineering programme is adapted for internationalisation in that the students can take courses abroad, mainly from the fourth semester. See https://student.oslomet.no/retningslinjer-sensorer

In addition, OsloMet collaborates with institutions in several European countries on an English-language course called European Project Semester (EPS). It is worth 30 credits and is mainly intended for incoming exchange students, but can also be relevant for OsloMet’s own third-year students in the sixth semester. Admission to the course is based on individual application.

Engineering is an international field. Much of the course literature is in English, and several of the systems and work tools use English as their working language. Some of the teaching may be in English. The individual course descriptions will state which courses this concerns. These courses will give the students good experience and knowledge of English engineering terminology.

Required coursework means compulsory assignments/activities that must be approved by a given deadline in order for students to be able to sit the exam. Coursework can be written work, project work, oral presentations, lab courses, compulsory attendance at lectures etc. Required coursework can be done individually or in groups.

The required coursework is intended to ensure the students’ progress and development and that they participate in necessary elements of the programme. Coursework requirements can also be set to ensure that students achieve a learning outcome that cannot be tested in an exam.

Previously approved coursework can be valid for two years after it is approved, provided that the course has not changed.

Required coursework is assessed as ‘approved’ or ‘not approved’.

The coursework requirements for each course are described in the course description. The number and type of coursework requirements, the rules for meeting the coursework requirements, deadlines and other details are set out in the course descriptions and teaching plans that are announced at the start of the semester.

Not approved coursework

Valid absence documented by, for example, a medical certificate does not exempt students from meeting the coursework requirements. Students who have valid grounds for absence, or who have submitted coursework that is not approved, should as far as possible be given a new chance to resubmit it before the exam. This must be agreed with the lecturer in question on a case-to-case basis. If another attempt at meeting a coursework requirement is not possible because of the nature of the subject/course, the student must be prepared to meet the coursework requirement on the next possible occasion. This can result in delayed progress in the programme.

The examination regulations are specified in the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges and the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet. See OsloMet’s website www.oslomet.no

Oral and practical exams are assessed by two examiners, as these forms of exams cannot be appealed. Formal errors can nonetheless be appealed.

One overall grade is given for the portfolio.

It is only possible to appeal the exam result for the portfolio assessment as a whole. Any information provided about weighting is only considered additional information in relation to the final grade. If parts of the portfolio contain elements such as an oral presentation, practical assignments etc., the exam result cannot be appealed. The rules concerning right of appeal are described in each individual course description.

Exams that are only assessed by internal examiners shall be regularly selected for external assessment.

Assessment

The grades pass/fail or a grade scale with grades from A to E for pass and F for fail are used for exam grades.

Prerequisite knowledge and study progress

Prerequisite knowledge is described in the course descriptions.

Even if no specific requirements for prior knowledge are defined, the students should take courses worth at least 50 credits each year to be able to complete the programme within the nominal length of study.

• From the first to the second year of the programme – courses worth 50 credits should be completed
• From the first and second years to the third year of the programme – courses worth 100 credits should be completed

Students must be registered in the third year and have completed at least 100 credits from the first and second years of the programme by 1 October before they can be assigned a topic for their bachelor’s thesis.

Rescheduled/resit exams

Students must register for resit/rescheduled exams themselves. Resits/rescheduled exams are normally organised together early in the following semester. Resit exams are for students who have taken the exam and failed. Rescheduled exams are for students who did not take the regular exam. The conditions for taking resit/rescheduled exams are set out in the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet.

Diploma

The final assessment for each course will be included on the diploma for the Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, and the title of the bachelor’s thesis shall be stated.

The purpose of OsloMet’s quality assurance system is to improve the students’ learning outcomes and development by raising quality at all levels. OsloMet wishes to cooperate with the students, and their participation in the quality assurance work is crucial. The overriding goals for the quality assurance system include:

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

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

• 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

Gradert skala A-F.

Hver besvarelse vurderes av en sensor.

Ekstern sensor benyttes regelmessig, og minimum ved hver tredje gjennomføring av emnet. Ved uttrekk av besvarelser til ekstern sensur skal uttrekket omfatte minimum 10 % av besvarelsene, men uansett ikke færre enn 5 besvarelser. Ved uttrekk skal ekstern sensors vurdering komme alle studentene til gode.
