Practical training regulations

The periods of practical training must be completed and approved in accordance with the applicable regulations. Reference is made to the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University, in particular Chapter 8 . Supervised practical training. Number of attempts. A diploma will not be issued until the external practical training has been approved. Students who have not completed the whole programme can be issued a transcript of the exam records for the exams and parts of the programme they have completed.

The student and supervisor are assigned a contact person at the university. The university conducts visits to the practical training establishment as necessary. The university offers free supervisor training within the university’s geographical area.

Duties

Students are to carry out duties of a type that social workers at the practical training establishment normally do. The work duties should be varied. On the basis of the daily tasks, the students are encouraged to see the connection between the institution’s tasks and general issues regarding its purpose, framework and work methods. The student’s learning objectives must be formulated in a learning contract entered into between the student, supervisor and practical training establishment (see below).

The student must comply with the ordinary norms and rules that apply in working life. Reference is made to the applicable agreements and provisions set out in the Working Environment Act. If the practical training establishment has its own personnel regulations, the student must act in accordance with the sections regulating conduct on duty. The students must familiarise themselves with the duty of confidentiality and submit a written declaration of confidentiality on arrival at the practical training establishment. They are also expected to be familiar with the professional ethical principles and guidelines for social workers and comply with them.

Working hours and attendance requirements at the practical training establishment

The student must comply with the practical training establishment’s working hours. At workplaces where employees work in shifts, there should be a reasonable balance between daytime work and evening work. Night shifts are not to be included in the students’ working hours.

The period of practical training is compulsory, and an 80% attendance requirement applies. Absence of up to 20% is only accepted in connection with illness, holding an office or approved leaves of absence. Any absence in excess of this must be made up for, and an agreement must be reached with the university and the practical training establishment on how this can be done.

The course SOS3110 Specialisation in social work – placement training must be completed and passed in order for the student to be allowed to take the course SOS3910 Bachelor’s Thesis.

Supervision

Every student must have a practical training supervisor at the practical training establishment. The supervisor should preferably have a social care education at university or university college level, and should preferably be a social worker.

The student must receive at least one supervision session per week. Supervision can take place in groups, normally in combination with individual supervision at the beginning, midway and upon completion. The times and dates of supervision sessions should be decided as soon as possible after the student starts the period of practical training.

The supervision is organised such that it enables the student to actively reflect on academic and ethical issues and on what personal competence is in practical social work. The supervisor follows the student’s learning process and takes active responsibility for ensuring the required progress. Planning of duties/learning objectives, their follow-up and assessment and any adjustments to duties/learning objectives form part of the learning process.

The student is responsible for preparing the content of the supervision sessions, with the help of the supervisor. The student will receive continuous feedback about how they are doing at the practical training establishment. They will also receive more extensive feedback from their supervisor halfway through the practical training period and on its conclusion. To what degree the student has met the learning objectives in the programme description will be assessed, and whether they have met the learning objectives set out in the cooperation between the student, supervisor and practical training establishment.

The practical training supervisor’s evaluation

On completion of the practical training period, the supervisor will submit an evaluation report, cf. the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University. The report is a written evaluation of the student’s learning progress and completion of the practical training period, based on the learning objectives formulated in the learning contract and includes a recommendation for approved/not approved practical training. The practical training supervisor will, in addition to evaluating the student’s academic development during the practical training placement, report whether the student has

met the attendance requirements at the practical training establishment

complied with the norms and rules that apply in working life

complied with the ethical principles that apply in social work

The report must include the following sentence: ‘This is an internal feedback document and cannot be used as an employment reference.’ If the practical training supervisor does not advise that the practical training placement is approved, see the separate subsection ’Doubt regarding approval/non-approval’.

Assessment of practical training

Assessment is conducted in accordance with the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University Chapter 8. Approval/non-approval of the practical training period is an individual decision pursuant to the Public Administration Act. The formal assessment is related to completed and approved coursework requirements, including attendance requirements for practical training and completion of supervision sessions. The faculty decides whether to grant approval.

Doubt regarding approval/non-approval

The practical training supervisor, contact lecturer and/or department can raise doubt regarding whether to, or advise not to, approve practical training. When there is doubt regarding approval, or if a recommendation has been made not to grant approval, the department must be notified immediately via the person responsible for the course.

If there is doubt regarding whether to approve the practical training, the student must be notified of this in writing as soon as possible and no later than three weeks before the end of the practical training period. Before the student is notified, the affected parties (student, programme representative and practical training establishment representative) must be called in to a meeting. The initiative to hold such a meeting must be immediate and the university is responsible for inviting the parties and holding the meeting. Minutes are to be kept. The parties must be given the opportunity to comment on the minutes. Any comments must be in writing and sent to the university by care of the dean within a week of the minutes being circulated.

If the grounds for doubt concerning approval permit, a written plan for correcting the factors on which the doubt is based must be prepared. The plan must in such cases contain specific measures and specify the division of responsibility for implementing such measures. The parties must agree on a date for an evaluation meeting to assess the effect of the corrective measures. If doubt is raised concerning approval, the student must demonstrate satisfactory progress during the remainder of the practical training to pass.

If the university decides that the practical training period should not be approved, the student must be informed of this and of the grounds for the decision in writing as soon as possible. The case must then be submitted to the practical training committee as soon as possible. The practical training committee decides whether the case has been sufficiently documented, and acquires additional information as necessary. The practical training committee then makes the final decision. The decision must be explained in writing.

Complaints

Decisions to not approve the practical training cannot be appealed unless a formal error has been made. This means that it is not possible to appeal against the assessment on which the decision to deny approval is based. For appeals against formal errors, the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University apply. The Appeals Board at OsloMet is the appeals body.

New period of practical training

See the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University.

Also see the section ‘Rules for study progress’.

Exclusion

A student who has acted in a grossly reprehensible manner during practical training may, if the board of the university so decides, be excluded from the programme for up to three years, cf. the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges.

Case processing requirements

The decisions are, as mentioned, individual decisions and are subject to the case processing requirements that apply to such decisions at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University.
