YFTI1100 Profesjon- og yrkesfag i et opplæringsperspektiv Emneplan

Varied forms of learning are used based on the principles of tertiary vocational didactics, e.g. practice-oriented learning, experience-oriented learning and problem-oriented learning. Sharing of experience is given emphasis in the programme. The students’ own tertiary vocational teaching practice will be key in their development and learning work.

Students will document four coursework requirements; these are linked to the learning outcomes. Two individual and two group-based requirements (can be adapted on justification to and special agreement with the lecturer). The coursework requirements concern both the student’s own tertiary vocational teaching practice and the learning community in the programme. The coursework requirements must be approved before the student can take the exam. Required coursework that is not approved can be reworked and submitted for re-assessment twice before the ordinary exam.

Coursework requirement 1: Planning and implementation of learning work (in groups of two or three students).

The purpose is to practise the inductive vocational teaching method relevant to planning and implementing learning work.

• Preparation of a folder comprising a supervision document, with a scope of 1,200 to 1, 320 words. A plan for learning work, with a scope of 1,000 to 1,110 words. Also a professional reflection on the completed work with a scope of 1,000 to 1,110 words.

Coursework requirement 2: Plan for teaching practice (individual)

The purpose is to practise systematic planning and conscious use of vocational pedagogy principles

• Submission of a well-founded plan for vocational teaching practice (20 days) using the ‘practice planner form’. The plan is prepared in consultation with the teaching practice tutor in the student’s own workplace. The plan must be assessed and approved by the person responsible for the course.

Coursework requirement 3: Assessment (in groups of two or three students).

The purpose is for the group to assess the tertiary vocational students learning work.

• Prepare a video presentation comprising the following: Assessment of at least three tertiary vocational students' work, including the information on what form the assessments have taken and a critical reflection on their own assessment work. Learning work is carried out in the student's own workplace. Scope: seven to ten minutes.

Coursework requirement 4: Digital reflection (individual)

The purpose is for the students to reflect on their learning outcomes from the programme.

• Prepare a video presentation comprising a professional reflection on the used pedagogical and didactical principles for learning outcomes as a tertiary vocational teacher. The reflection must be academically grounded on the course syllabus. Scope: seven to ten minutes.

Vocational teaching practice

Practical pedagogy for Tertiary Vocational Education comprises 20 compulsory days of teaching practice. For further information, see the programme description.

Presence in teaching activities

In all a minimum attendance of 80 % is required.Students who, due to illness or another documented valid reason, do not meet to the requirement for participation, shall agree on alternative activity(s) in each individual case with the teacher.For further information, see the programme description.

In order to take the exam the four requierd coursework must be approved, 20 days of practikal traning completed and present in mandatory teaching activities.

The final examination involves an individual submission of a video presentation in either English or Norwegian. This presentation should encompass a professional reflection on the learning outcomes of the course, as outlined in the course syllabus. The scope of the video presentation is 15-20 minutes. The exam must be academically grounded on the course syllabus and references and literature sources chosen by the students from their tertiary vocational teaching practice.

Resits/rescheduled exams

A reworked version of the video presentation submitted for the ordinary exam is submitted for the first resit. A new video presentation must be submitted for subsequent attempts.

Følgende arbeidskrav må være godkjent for å kunne gå opp til eksamen i emnet:

Arbeidskrav 1

Kartlegging av egen kompetanse med utvidet CV og utarbeidelse av en individuell plan for studiet. Som en del av arbeidet skal studenten også dokumentere og reflektere fra yrkesfaglig praksis. Individuell innlevering. Omfang: 2500 ord +/- 10% + litteraturliste og eventuelle vedlegg. Hensikten med arbeidskravet er at studenten skal kartlegge egen kompetanse som grunnlag og plan for kompetanseutvikling i eget utdanningsprogram.

Arbeidskrav 2

Individuelt arbeidskrav som er todelt.

1. Analyse av yrkenes og utdanningsprogrammet i IKT og medieproduksjons/Teknologi og industrifags fellestrekk og særtrekk

2. Basert på analysen skal studenten planlegge, gjennomføre, vurdere og dokumentere et undervisningsopplegg fra utdanningsområdet teknologi og industrifag

Begge deler av arbeidskravet må vurderes som godkjent for at arbeidskravet i sin helhet blir vurdert til godkjent. Omfang: 3000 ord +/- 10% + litteraturliste og eventuelle vedlegg. Hensikten med arbeidskravet er at studentene skal gå inn i utdanningsprogrammet og belyse kompetansekrav i de ulike yrkene i forhold til sin kompetanse i eget yrke.

Arbeidskravene 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. Studenter må da selv avtale ny vurdering av det aktuelle arbeidskravet med faglærer. For mer utfyllende informasjon om arbeidskrav se programplanen.

Obligatorisk tilstedeværelse

Det er krav om 80 % tilstedeværelse i alle organiserte undervisningsaktiviteter. Studenter med fravær som overskrider 20 % får ikke avlegge eksamen. Gyldig fravær dokumentert ved for eksempel sykemelding, gir ikke fritak for kravet om deltakelse, men kan etter avtale med og vurdering av faglærer kompenseres med en faglig oppgave. Yrkesfaglige samlinger og aktiviteter på tvers av kull inngår i fraværsprosenten for emnet. For mer utfyllende informasjon om krav til obligatorisk tilstedeværelse se programplanen.
