Teaching and learning methods
Knowledge about the body, movement and activity is a key aspect of physiotherapy, and in order to promote activity and participation, physiotherapists must be able to use and integrate knowledge about the body and movement rooted in natural science and humanistic knowledge traditions. Physiotherapists must be able to obtain knowledge about the human body and human capacity for movement and activity through the use of quantitative measurements and their interpretation. Physiotherapists must also be able to exercise sensitivity in relation to body and movement as qualitative phenomena. Educational and cooperation skills are core competences in physiotherapy, and the students will practise these skills through supervision exercises and the use of manual techniques.
Physiotherapists also need basic skills in observing and talking to children and adolescents to understand their life and how work with children can be carried out in interprofessional person- and family-centred care. This topic is highlighted in the interdisciplinary teaching activity INTER1100.
INTER1100 ‘The Same Child – Different Arenas’ (1.5 credits) is part of the teaching project Interprofessional Interaction with Children and Youth (INTERACT), which takes place across the programmes of professional study at OsloMet. The goal is to increase the quality of the programmes of professional study that focus on children and young people. Through INTERACT, students acquire research-based knowledge about the everyday lives of children and young people, as well as practice in cooperating with students from other programmes. In this way, INTERACT forms the basis for improved coordination of society’s services directed at children and young people and their parents/guardians. INTER1100 ‘The Same Child – Different Arenas’ makes up the first module of INTERACT.
