Bachelor in Applied Computer Technology Programme description

For both the courses in French 1, students will be asked to carry out different tasks (both in Oslo, in Caen and online). The student will write several texts in French language during the course and will collect these and present them in their final portfolio exams. Attendance and participation both in Oslo, in Caen and online is required.

There is an overall 80 per cent attendance requirement for each course. Attendance is compulsory because of the work methods involving dialogue and discussions. The programme emphasises student participation, cooperative learning and dialogue. Teachers from Université de Caen Normandie will give the face-to-face sessions in Oslo and in Caen, which will give participants the opportunity to learn in a French cultural and linguistic environment. This important learning opportunity is lost if students do not attend classes.

The coursework requirements are described in the individual course descriptions. All absence, irrespective of reason, is included when compulsory attendance is approved. In special cases where this requirement is unreasonable to the student, due to documented sickness absence, for example, compensatory measures can be agreed.

The required coursework must be submitted/completed by the stipulated deadlines. Absence for a valid reason documented by e.g. a medical certificate does not exempt students from meeting the coursework requirements. Students who fail to submit/meet the coursework requirements by the deadline due to illness or for other documented valid reasons can be given an extended deadline. A new deadline for submitting/completing required coursework must be agreed with the lecturer in question in each individual case.

The required coursework is assessed as accepted/not accepted. Students, who submit required coursework/meet the coursework requirements by the deadline, but whose work is assessed as not accepted, will be given two opportunities to resubmit/redo the work. In such cases, the students themselves must agree with the lecturer on a re-assessment of the coursework in question.

All the exams are in French language, both the written and the oral part. More information about assessment is provided in the individual course descriptions.

The students’ rights and obligations are set out in the Regulations Relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet. The regulations describe, among other things, the conditions for resit/rescheduled exams, the right to appeal and what is considered cheating in an exam. It is the students’ responsibility to register for any resit/rescheduled exams.

Programplan i engelsk 1, trinn 1–7 (30 studiepoeng) - oppdrag bygger på forskrift om rammeplan for grunnskolelærerutdanningene for 1.–7. trinn og 5.–10. trinn, fastsatt av Kunnskapsdepartementet 1. mars 2010 og nasjonale retningslinjer for engelskfaget i grunnskolelærerutdanningens program for trinn1–7.

Engelsk 1 har som hovedmål å øke lærernes kunnskap om det engelske språket og utvikle deres praktiske og didaktiske engelskferdigheter slik at de kan gi faglig solid engelskopplæring på barnetrinnet i grunnskolen som trygge modeller for elevene. Studiet bygger på nyere engelskfaglig og fagdidaktisk forskning og møter sentrale føringer gjennom LK20, både verdigrunnlaget i den overordnede delen og den fagspesifikke delen av læreplanverket. En viktig del av studiet er møtet med ulike typer engelskspråklige tekster for barn, som kan fungere som inngang både til språk- og kulturforståelse, inspirasjon til egen kreative språkutfoldelse og til personlig berikelse. Fagfornyelsens tre kjerneelementer i engelsk – kommunikasjon, språklæring og møte med engelskspråklige tekster – står sentralt i studiet.

Engelsk 1 er forskningsbasert, profesjonsrettet og praksisnært og har som mål å utvikle lærernes evne til å gi læringsfremmende engelskundervisning, veiledning og vurdering fra 1. til 7. årstrinn. For å kunne legge til rette for og bidra til elevenes læringsutbytte i engelsk i samsvar med gjeldende læreplan trenger lærerne å utvikle sin handlingskompetanse og sin kritiske beredskap overfor læreverk og andre læringsressurser. En solid språkbevissthet og innsikt i hvordan bruk av engelske tekster kan gi glede i seg selv, bidrar til en god profesjonell plattform og ramme for språklæringen. En forventet effekt av kompetanseutviklingen gjennom engelsk 1 er at deltakerne vil kunne bidra til et positivt fag- og læringsmiljø på egen skole.

Engelsk er et verdensspråk i dag. Samtidig omtales språket som et «første fremmedspråk» i språkpolitiske dokumenter om språksituasjonen i Norge. En viktig del av engelsk 1 er bevisstgjøring omkring den rollen det engelske språket har globalt, i det norske samfunnet og i norsk skole. Et sentralt mål for engelskopplæring i tråd med fagfornyelsen er utvikling av elevenes kommunikative kompetanse i engelsk. Dette innebærer blant annet at elevene skal kunne bruke engelsk på en måte som er tilpasset hensikt, mottaker og den situasjonen språket brukes i. Engelsk 1 har derfor fokus på de faglige og fagdidaktiske ressursene studentene bør ha til disposisjon for selv å kunne møte dette kravet og hjelpe elevene til å mestre disse utfordringene.

Studiet er utviklet på oppdrag fra Kunnskapsdepartementet, med bakgrunn i Kompetanse for kvalitet – strategi for etter- og videreutdanning. Målgruppe for studiet er lærere som arbeider på 1.–7. årstrinn i grunnskolen, men også lærere som ønsker å kvalifisere seg for undervisning på barnetrinnet.

Admission takes place directly to the chosen specialisation. The requirement for admission to the Master’s Degree Programme in Health Sciences is a bachelor's degree or an equivalent degree within a specified field, with an average grade of at least C. However, an average grade of C does not guarantee admission. If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of places on the programme, the applicants will be ranked according to the applicable ranking rules.

Reference is made to the Regulations relating to Admission to Studies at OsloMet. The specialisations will only be run if a sufficient number of qualified candidates apply.

Programplanen legger til rette for studiearbeid og kommunikasjon deltakerne imellom ved hjelp av digitale verktøy mellom samlingene. Her har OsloMets digitale læringsplattform en sentral plass. Integrert i studiet er også opplæring i nyttige digitale verktøy til bruk i engelskopplæringen.

Engelsk er arbeidsspråket i begge emner. Gjennom hele studiet får studentene anledning til å bruke språket muntlig på samlingene og i enkelte arbeidskrav. Samlingene har form av workshops der deltakerne får prøve ut forskjellige arbeidsmåter, diskutere hva som kjennetegner god vurderingspraksis og tilpasset opplæring i klasserommet i forhold til kompetansemålene i faget, både skriftlige og muntlige. I tillegg vil sentrale teoretiske deler av faget bli gjennomgått på samlingene. All undervisning har et gjennomgående didaktisk perspektiv.

Mellom samlingene arbeider deltakerne med selvstudium av pensumtekster, utprøving av ulike aktiviteter og oppgaver i egen (eller lånt) klasse, erfaringsdeling med kolleger og innlevering av tekster på OsloMets digitale læringsplattform (se under Arbeidskrav). Noen av tekstene er muntlige; andre krever skriftlige besvarelser. Enkelte er individuelle innleveringer, mens andre er par- eller gruppeoppgaver. Det forventes at studentene presenterer og diskuterer ny innsikt omkring ordinnlæring i eget kollegium. Refleksjon på bakgrunn av denne erfaringsdelingen inngår som en del av et arbeidskrav i emne 1.

Noe av studiearbeidet er samhandling i nettbaserte diskusjonsfora omkring sentrale fagdidaktiske temaer, der lærerne får anledning til å reflektere over egne erfaringer og ta del i en dialog omkring undervisning og læring.

The purpose of OsloMet’s quality assurance system is to strengthen students’ learning outcomes and development by raising the quality at all levels. OsloMet wishes to cooperate with the students, and their participation in quality assurance work is crucial. The overall goals for the quality assurance system include:

• ensuring that the educational activities, including practical training and the learning and study environment, maintain a high level of quality
• ensuring that the study programmes are relevant to the professional fields
• ensuring that the quality continues to improve

For the students, this entails, among other things, student evaluations:

• course evaluations
• annual student surveys for all of OsloMet
