MAHAB4200 Rehabilitation as Knowledge and Practice Course description

Language of instruction: Norwegian

(Re)habilitation as a field of practice builds on current legislation and organisational frameworks, and this course gives students an introduction to the formal framework conditions. Evidence-based practice is a main element, and the course provides insight into the structure of the professional field of rehabilitation through research, development of concepts, political governance and user participation at the system level. Technological innovation in service provision is discussed as an important element of quality improvement in (re)habilitation.

Evidence-based practice and cooperation between service levels are highly emphasised in (re)habilitation.

Studiet er innrettet slik at studentene skal kunne gjennomføre det på deltid ved siden av jobb. Det innebærer at det for noen emner vil være samlingsbasert, med digitale gjennomføringsmåter i tillegg. Noen av emnene vil kunne ha en heldigital gjennomføring uten bruk av fysiske samlinger. Under samlingene blir det brukt varierte undervisningsformer med en kombinasjon av forelesninger, diskusjoner og case-studier. I emnene forventes det at studentene deltar på samlinger og forelesninger, og deltar aktivt i undervisningen. Studentene har ulik utdanningsbakgrunn og yrkeserfaring. Ved at de deler sine erfaringer og sin faglige kompetanse med hverandre, blir dette en ressurs for gjensidig læring.

Masterstudiet skal bidra til å øke studentenes kompetanse i å forstå internasjonale forhold og perspektiver innen ledelse. Deler av pensum er på engelsk, med modeller og eksempler fra ulike land. Minimum ett emne tilbys også på engelsk.

Arbeidskrav og obligatoriske aktiviteter er beskrevet i hver enkelt emneplan. Studentene får videre informasjon om arbeidskravene under gjennomføring av emnene. Det er ulike former for krav i de forskjellige emnene, blant annet skriftlige oppgaver, muntlige presentasjoner og/eller obligatorisk deltagelse. Kravene må være godkjente for at man skal kunne få avlegge eksamen.

Vurdering og sensur foregår i samsvar med bestemmelsene om vurdering i Lov lov av 8. mars 2024 nr. 9 om universiteter og høyskoler og Forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet - storbyuniversitetet.

Som vurderingsuttrykk brukes i hovedsaken gradert skala med fem trinn fra A til E for bestått og F for ikke bestått, mens det for noen av valgemnene brukes bestått/ikke bestått. Nærmere beskrivelse av karakter- og vurderingsformer, og sensorordning ligger i den enkelte emneplan.

Grade scale A-F.

All answers are assessed by one examiner.

An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.
