Introduction
Emnet handler om numerisk simulering av fysiske problemer og vitenskapelig visualisering av simuleringsresultater. Studenten vil lære om forskjellen på simuleringsteknikker (inkludert endelig elementmetoder, endelig differanse, endelig volum) og deres anvendelsesområder knyttet opp til konserveringslover. Videre vil emnet gå inn på vitenskapelig visualisering av simuleringsresultater Studenten lærer om utvikling av simuleringskode, visualisering av resultater, samt interaktiv simulering.

Learning outcomes
The main focus of the course is to learn how behaviour is established, changed, and maintained to increase independence and improve quality-of-life. The students will learn the basic principles of behaviour analysis and how behaviour is operationalised and measured. The course also introduces experimental methodology with an emphasis on single-subject designs to allow students to assess the effect of behavior analytic interventions and understand research results in the field. Self-determination, social validity and the legal basis for services provided are emphasized. Different schools of thought in the field of psychology are compared. Relevant philosophy of science and ethics are presented, along with the historical development of applied behaviour analysis.
The interprofessional student collaboration INTER1200 Communication with Children, Youth and their Families, a scope of work corresponding to 1.5 credits focuses on communication and interaction with children, young people and their families, and on how interprofessional work needs to be coordinated to strengthen the provision of services to the individual child.
INTER1200 addresses the learning outcomes marked with an asterisk (*) and written in italics.
The course is taught over ten weeks, including one week for Interact.

Course requirements
On successful completion of the course, the student has the following learning outcomes classified as knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student
- has knowledge of explorative approaches when interacting with children and young people*
- has knowledge of children and young people’s right to participation and about the necessity of cooperating with children, young people and their families*
- can describe the main features of the historical development of applied behaviour analysis
- can explain how philosophy of science is relevant to the practice of applied behaviour analysis
- can explain basic principles of behaviour analysis
- can describe different ways of observing and measuring behaviour
- can discuss self-determination, supported decision-making and social validity
- can describe different single-subject experimental designs and selected research methods that can be used in social education
- can describe characteristics of empirically supported interventions
Skills
The student
- can explore the daily life of children and young people and construction of meaning*
- can reflect on his/her own role in explorative conversation with children and young people*
- can reflect on the group's interprofessional cooperation*
- can assess similarities and differences between important theories in the disciplines of psychology and pedagogy
- can assess social validity of interventions based on behaviour analytic principles
- can operationalise and analyse behaviour
- can assess the effect of interventions by analysing figures that present single-subject experimental designs
- can apply basic legal methods to implement lawful and professional practice
- can assess how welfare technology can be introduced to support the individual's resources and possibilities for mastery of functional skills
General competence
The student
- understands the importance of interprofessional cooperation with children, young people and their families*
- can apply behaviour analytic principles to promote self-determination and equal participation in society in line with applicable legislation, professional guidelines and ethical considerations
- can assess the effect of interventions based on behaviour analytic principles to promote socially valid behaviour change
- can apply relevant and up-to-date specialist literature to shed light on practical problems, make well-founded choices and apply behaviour analytic principles in socially valid behavior change
Assessment
The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:
- 100% attendance in supervised group work in groups of six students
- completed multiple-choice test by the given deadline
- Individual written paper, up to 1,000 words. Feedback on content in accordance with specified criteria
- Required coursework for INTER1200 Communication with Children and Adolescents: http://www.oslomet.no/forskning/forskningsprosjekter/interact
Permitted exam materials and equipment
Individual written examination with invigilation, 4 hours
Grading scale
The student may bring one A4 sheet of own notes on one side of the paper of relevance to the exam. The notes can be written by hand or typed but cannot include material copied from or pictures from books/specialist literature.
Examiners
All answers are assessed by two examiners.
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.
