FYBPRA2 Clinical Placement - II Course description

This course is a practical training course that contains the second of two practical training periods in the third year of the programme. The practical training is carried out at locations affiliated to OsloMet - Metropolitan University (OsloMet) through signed cooperation agreements. These are primarily institutions in the municipal or specialist health service. The student will develop the action competence needed to meet the requirements made of physiotherapists. On the basis of ethical reflection and critical thinking, the student should provide professionally sound, person-centred and knowledge-based physiotherapy rooted in research, evidence-based knowledge and user knowledge, and participate in the daily activities at the practical training establishment. The practical study is carried out on all weekdays for nine (9) consecutive weeks, with a workload of 45 hours per week.

Passed first and second year of the programme or equivalent.

Passed FYBPRA1 Clinical Placement - I.

Aesthetics as a field of contemporary research concerns the study of sensory experience and sensuousness and in a wider context by highlighting the role of sensory modalities. This course will address the sensory side of innovation, seeking to create awareness of the many possible ethical and interactional consequences and possibilities of aesthetic choices. In order to pursue these matters the course will look at specific areas of study such as visual structures in digital communication and interface design, art, design and performance innovations (future of living technologies, bio-art, wearables, experimental architectures), environmental aesthetics, eco-media and sensuous perspectives in social innovation. The course will also address universal design aesthetics, experience and performance economies as well as enactivist perspectives: the role of embodied imagination and variational analysis. The syllabus may be abbreviated and adapted to fit the interest of the participants of the course in cooperation with the supervisors.

In order to pursue these matters the course will look at specific areas of study such as:

• • Visual structures in digital communication and interface design
  • Art, design, and performance innovations (future of living technologies, bio-art, wearables, experimental architectures)
  • Environmental aesthetics and eco-media
  • Sensuous perspectives in social innovation
  • Universal design or design for all aesthetics
  • Cultural heritage technology
  • Experience and performance economies
  • Enactivist perspectives; the role of embodied imagination and variational analysis

Completed Master’s degree (120 ECTS credits) or equivalent education level.

Upon completing the course, the candidates are expected to have gained the following learning

outcomes (knowledge, skills and general competence).

• has deep understanding of theories, concepts, and definitions within the area of applied aesthetics tied to sustainability and eco-media
• has advanced knowledge of visual and sensuous strategies in tech and design development
• has a nuanced understanding of the multiple aesthetic challenges in the development of innovative sustainable solutions
• has advanced knowledge of the sensuous sides of digital communication

Skills

The candidate.

• has developed an ability to critically examine and challenge established environments, materials and digital products from an aesthetic perspective
• can work and contribute efficiently in cross- and multi-disciplinary teams on the subject of aesthetics as part of sustainable innovation
• can apply a visual, material or aesthetic approach to a sustainable innovation problem in own research

Teaching will consist of theory lectures, seminars with candidate presentations and workshops with multidisciplinary project collaboration, organized by art and design innovators. Teaching will be both practical and theoretical, with a strong focus on aesthetic content in actual innovation projects.

Passed first and second year of the programme or equivalent.
