Brukerrettede kliniske studier

Det skilles mellom ferdighetstrening og kliniske studier som beskrevet nedenfor.

Ferdighetstrening

I øvingslaboratoriet skal studenten tilegne seg jordmorfaglige ferdigheter som grunnlag for kliniske studier. Ferdigheter er personlig kunnskap som den enkelte utvikler gjennom utprøving og egen erfaring. Dette innebærer at studenten øver på og reflekterer over sentrale ferdigheter for yrkesutøvelsen. Ferdighetstrening og øvelser kan gjennomføres i universitetets simuleringssenter/øvingspost og i samarbeidende foretak i spesialisthelsetjenesten.

Kliniske studier

Studenten skal oppøve kliniske ferdigheter og vurderinger i forbindelse med jordmorvirksomhet på ulike arenaer. Det legges spesielt vekt på studentens videreutvikling av teori, refleksjon og kliniske vurderinger for å ivareta omsorgen for kvinnen/familien og barnet. Kliniske studier skal gi studenten kompetanse i å integrere forskningsbasert kunnskap i sin profesjonsutøvelse, og tilegne seg erfaringsbasert kunnskap og pasientkunnskap. For å utvikle handlingskompetanse og -beredskap i jordmorfag vil det være en kontinuerlig veksling mellom teoretisk fordypning og kompetanseutvikling i det kliniske felt. De kliniske studiene er organisert i perioder på henholdsvis 13 uker i MAJOPRA1, 7 uker i MAJOPRA2, 13 uker i MAJOPRA3 og 7 uker i MAJOPRA4.

Veiledning i kliniske studier

Studenten vil bli veiledet av et team bestående av universitetets veileder og en jordmor (evt. flere) fra det kliniske felt (klinisk veileder). Disse samarbeider om tilrettelegging av læresituasjoner i de kliniske studiene. Studenten skal sikres veiledere med relevant kompetanse.

For hver studieperiode i kliniske studier skal studenten i samråd med universitetets veileder, klinisk veileder og/eller studentansvarlig ved klinisk studiested sette opp egen plan for praksis. Læringsmålene i plan for praksis må være i tråd med utdanningens læringsutbytte for hvert emne og læresituasjoner i den enkelte periode. Studenten utarbeider regelmessig skriftlige logger som synliggjør læringsutbyttet og bevisste valg av læresituasjoner. Studenten har ansvar for aktivt å søke veiledning og møte forberedt til veilednings- og vurderingssamtaler. I enkelte emner er det et krav om veiledning før innlevering av arbeidskrav. 

Tilstedeværelse i kliniske studier skal turnusplanlegges. Studenten går vakter både dag, kveld, natt og helg og følger turnus til sine kliniske veiledere.

Organisering av kliniske studier

Ferdighetstrening:

• MAJOPRA1 Grunnleggende jordmorfag knyttet til fødsel og barseltid - del 1 (klinisk studium) MAJOPRA2 Grunnleggende jordmorfag knyttet til svangerskap, ungdoms- og kvinnehelse (klinisk studium)
• MAJOPRA3 Jordmorfag knyttet til svangerskap, fødsel og barseltid - del 2 (klinisk studium)

Direkte brukerrettede kliniske studier:

• MAJOPRA1 Grunnleggende jordmorfag knyttet til fødsel og barseltid - del 1 (klinisk studium) MAJOPRA4 Helhetlig, avansert jordmorfag ved føde-barselavdeling (klinisk studium)
• MAJOPRA3 Jordmorfag knyttet til svangerskap, fødsel og barseltid - del 2 (klinisk studium)
• MAJOPRA2 Grunnleggende jordmorfag knyttet til svangerskap, ungdoms- og kvinnehelse (klinisk studium)

Krav til studiesteder for kliniske studier

For å bli godkjent som studiested for kliniske studier kreves følgende: Virksomheten drives i tråd med aktuelle helse- og sosialpolitiske føringer; den har tilfredsstillende faglig nivå og har kvalifiserte veiledere og ønsker å inngå i aktivt samarbeid med universitetet om kunnskapsutvikling og forskning.

Samarbeid mellom universitetet og studiesteder for kliniske studier

For å sikre en åpen og jevnlig dialog mellom det kliniske felt og studentene, vil det bli avholdt jevnlige møter hvor utvikling av studiekvalitet står sentralt, både med hensyn til mastergradsstudiet (innhold, nivå, kontinuitet, progresjon, pedagogiske arbeidsformer, vurderingsordninger) og når det gjelder studentenes arbeidssituasjon og studiemiljø. I forbindelse med de kliniske studier og mastergradsoppgaven, blir det arrangert jevnlige seminarer for veiledere og studenter.

Universitetet anbefaler at deler av studiet tas i utlandet, gjennom de program og nettverk som universitetet deltar i. Utvekslingsopphold gir i tillegg til faglig utbytte viktig tilleggskompetanse for jordmors yrkesutøvelse i et flerkulturelt samfunn. Økende globalisering gjør internasjonal erfaring, språk- og kulturkunnskap stadig viktigere. Emnet MAJO5900 kan i sin helhet tas i utlandet. Emnene MAJOPRA2, MAJOPRA3 og MAJOPRA4 kan gjennomføres delvis i utlandet, men med noe klinisk praksis og vurdering i Norge.

OsloMet har utvekslingsavtaler med partnerinstitusjoner gjennom programmene Nordplus og Erasmus, i tillegg til bilaterale avtaler i andre deler av verden.

Studenter som skal på praksisopphold til land i det globale sør (Afrika, Latin-Amerika og Asia) må normalt delta på et obligatorisk feltforberedende kurs.

Utenlandske studenter kan ta deler av sin utdanning i følgende emner: MAJO4100, MAJO 4200, MAJOPRA2 og MAJO5900. Undervisningsspråk er hovedsakelig norsk, men det tilbys også undervisning på engelsk dersom det er engelskspråklige studenter til stede. Eksamensbeskrivelser utarbeides på engelsk ved behov.

Arbeidskrav, eksamener og masteroppgaven kan skrives på et skandinavisk språk eller på engelsk.

Det tilrettelegges for lærerutveksling. Dette inkluderes i alle nye utvekslingsavtaler.

The master’s programme in entrepreneurship is a two-year programme worth 120 ECTS, consisting of four foundational entrepreneurship courses (40 ECTS), a methods course (10 ECTS), a marketing course (10 ECTS), three elective courses (30 ECTS) where the students can pursue domain knowledge related to the development of their idea, and a master´s thesis (30 ECTS).

During the two-year programme, students need to choose three elective courses (30 ECTS). The students are presented with an overview of several existing courses across the four faculties at OsloMet. One of the most common factors that lead entrepreneurs to fail in their venture creation ambitions is the lack of domain knowledge related to their idea/project. OsloMet offers a wide portfolio of courses in disciplines close to their practice fields. Students are strongly encouraged to utilize this opportunity to identify courses that can provide them with important domain knowledge.

All elective courses on the master's programme must be pre-approved by the head of department at Oslo Business School (OsloMet). A maximum of two out of three elective courses on the programme may be at a bachelor's level.

The master's thesis is an independent project that is conducted after the students have completed and passed the foundational and elective courses. The foundational entrepreneurship courses build on each other, meaning that the entrepreneurship courses in semester 3 build on the entrepreneurship courses in semesters 2 and 1. The programme may offer an optional summer exchange programme offering extra credits (30 ECTS).

The four semesters are structured as follows:

Semester 1:

The first semester offers an introduction to entrepreneurship theory and methods. The goal for semester 1 is that students acquire skills in and knowledge about creating and testing solutions for different ideas and societal challenges. The challenges can originate in the student's own idea, based on research or in a private business, public sector organization, NGO or non-profit partner organization. Up to 100 different ideas/challenges are tested in the first semester. The goal in the first semester is to form student teams (of two to five members) that can work on a solution that solves one of the tested ideas/challenges. These solutions can be commercial or non-commercial, within a company, a public sector organization, a NGO or non-profit organisation or can involve the creation of a new venture.

Semester 2

In the second semester students will learn strategic business development and marketing for entrepreneurs. Students can work in newly formed teams and attend courses that supports the development of selected solutions that solves one of the tested ideas/challenges from semester 1. In addition, students are required to take one elective course from the wide range of courses offered at OsloMet.

Summer term (extra credits)

During the summer term between semester 2 and semester 3, students are encouraged to apply and attend one of several international summer school exchange programmes in Boston, San Francisco or Toronto. The summer school is offered in collaboration with the Norwegian School of Entrepreneurship (Gründerskolen) run by the University of Oslo. Participation in the summer school is not compulsory.

Semester 3

In the third semester the students further specialise in the entrepreneurship field as well as have the opportunity to take a wide range of elective courses offered at OsloMet that can provide domain-specific knowledge to their teams for working, developing and implementing their solution in parallel with obtaining expertise in current frontiers of entrepreneurship theory. At the end of the semester the students are expected to launch a pilot and implement the chosen solution together with their team.

Semester 4

In the final semester the students write their master's thesis. The thesis topic can be related either to their solution or to companies, ventures, or projects with which OsloMet has a collaboration partnership, as well as addressing relevant entrepreneurship-theory challenges. The master’s thesis is usually written in groups of two or three students.

Courses consist of lectures, seminars and practical work. In addition, workshops and discussion groups are offered to facilitate and stimulate learning. Written work requirements are intended to develop reflective, argumentative and critical responses to the curriculum and lectures, as well as to acquire writing skills at post-graduate level. Oral presentations and discussions develop discursive skills, whilst specialisation in an area of research promotes scholarly and independent learning. The students will also be required to attend several hackathons or similar seminars or events with external stakeholders.

The teaching method relies on practical training, since there is a consensus among several scholars within entrepreneurship that entrepreneurship education should be based on experiential learning. Moreover, experiential learning enables students to experience what it is like to be an entrepreneur prior to reflecting on theory offered through the foundational entrepreneurship courses in the programme.

Learning process

• Faculty have a close professional relationship with the students and take on a facilitating role.
• Students take action, experiment and iterate through and with real ventures/projects in the value creation process. This gives students a high degree of responsibility for the process of learning by doing.
• Students learn to act first, then reflect, react, readjust and then act again.

Incubation

All students are offered access to incubator programmes. An important function of incubator programmes is to provide a space where students can sit and work on their ventures or projects.

Incubator programme will be in contact with startups to enhance the learning community and to share resources and spaces, and the choice of incubator programmes is based on the students' needs and the nature of their ventures or projects.

Mentorship

Internal and external mentors contribute to the delivery of the programme and serve as support mechanisms for the students and for the programme.

Mentors contribute to the programme in a variety of ways. First, they serve as role models for the students while bringing in up-do-date and relevant experience and second they help develop students’ ventures by providing support, advice and access to networks and mentoring them on pressing issues. Teaching methods

The master’s programme in entrepreneurship at OsloMet combines student-centred and teacher-centred teaching and working methods. There is also an overlap between them, where student-centred methods are also teacher-led.

Teaching methods include:

• Lectures
• Workshops (both faculty and industry)
• Game-based learning
• Inquiry-based learning (where teachers are available for questions)
• Expeditionary learning (out of the building and explore)
• Flipped classroom
• Group/individual mentoring (linked to business)
• Coaching (personalised learning)
• Cases with teacher-led discussions
• Group work and collaboration between students
• Experiments, iterations, prototyping and hypothesis testing
• Participation in real-life seminars and events with external stakeholders, e.g. hackathons
• Guest speakers

OsloMet uses Canvas, a cloud-based learning platform that facilitates student-active forms of work and teaching and serves as the university's channel of communication with its students.
