English 1 for Upper Primary and Lower Secondary School Teachers Programme description

Engelsk 1 for trinn 5–10 (30 studiepoeng) – oppdrag består av to emner à 15 studiepoeng. Emne 2 bygger på emne 1. Studietilbudet er et nett- og samlingsbasert kompetansegivende studium for lærere som har lærerutdanning fra universitet eller høgskole. Studiet gir formell kompetanse, samtidig som det ruster engelsklæreren til læringsfremmende arbeid i klasserommet.

Studieprogrammet har som mål å utvikle lærerens kompetanse faglig og fagdidaktisk samt bidra til utvikling av god undervisningspraksis i samsvar med grunnskolens læreplan i engelsk, kjerneelementene i faget, og tverrfaglige temaer. Rollen engelsk har som verdensspråk og i Norge, elevenes møte med engelsk i og utenfor klasserommet er rammer for opplæringen. Sentralt står også fagets rolle i flerspråklige og flerkulturelle klasserom.

Studietilbudet gir grunnleggende kunnskap om utvikling av elevers muntlige og skriftlige ferdigheter og tekstkompetanse samt grunnleggende strukturer i det engelske språket. Engelsk 1 fokuserer på utvikling av de grunnleggende ferdighetene, med spesiell vekt på progresjonen fra 5. til 8. årstrinn og overgangen fra barnetrinnet til ungdomstrinnet. Samtidig blir studentens egen tekstkompetanse, språkferdighet, og ordforråd videreutviklet.

Programplanen legger til rette økt språkbevissthet og samhandling ved hjelp av digitale hjelpemidler. Det er en forutsetning at studentene gjennom hele studiet får anledning til å bruke språket både muntlig og skriftlig og anledning til å få demonstrert og diskutert formålstjenlige arbeidsmåter, tilpasset opplæring, og vurderingspraksis i klasserommet i samsvar med kompetansemålene i faget.

Studieprogrammet er utviklet på oppdrag fra Kunnskapsdepartementet, med bakgrunn i Kompetanse for kvalitet – strategi for etter- og videreutdanning. Målgruppe for studiet er lærere som underviser på årstrinnene 5 – 10, men også lærere som ønsker å kvalifisere seg for undervisning i engelsk på ungdomstrinnet.

Opptakskravet er allmenn-/grunnskole-/faglærerutdanning eller PPU. Studenter som innvilges studieplass, må være i arbeid som lærer eller ha kontakt med en skole der det er mulig å ta aktivt del i engelskopplæring.Kravet om bestått lærerutdanning kan fravikes dersom søkeren kun mangler faget hun/han søker på, for å få fullført sin lærerutdanning.

Søkere rangeres etter karakterpoeng fra lærerutdanningen. Søkere som har fått innvilget stipend og/eller vikarmidler fra Utdanningsdirektoratet (Udir), får 5 tilleggspoeng.

Etter å ha gjennomført studiet Engelsk 1 for trinn 5–10 (30 studiepoeng) – oppdrag skal studentene ha utviklet kunnskaper, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse i samsvar med beskrivelsene i de nasjonale retningslinjene for engelskfaget i grunnskolelærerutdanningen. Læringsutbyttet er nærmere beskrevet i emneplanene.

Studieprogrammet er et nett- og samlingsbasert studium. 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. Enkelte av verktøyene er integrert i studiet som deler av arbeidskrav.

Engelsk er arbeidsspråket i begge emner. Gjennom hele studiet får studentene anledning til å bruke språket muntlig på samlingene. Samlingene har form av workshops der deltakerne får prøve ut forskjellige arbeidsmåter, diskutere hva som kjennetegner en god vurderingspraksis og tilpasset opplæring i klasserommet i forhold til kompetansemålene i faget, både skriftlig og muntlig. 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 muntlige og skriftlige tekster i OsloMets digitale læringsplattform (se under Arbeidskrav). Enkelte er individuelle innleveringer, mens andre er par- eller gruppeoppgaver.

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.

This programme description was prepared by OsloMet pursuant to the National Curriculum Regulations for Engineering Education, adopted by the Ministry of Education on 18 Mai 2018.

The Norwegian Qualifications Framework for Higher Education, which was adopted by the Ministry of Education and Research on 20 March 2009, provides an overview of the overall learning outcomes defined in terms of the knowledge, skills and general competence candidates are expected to have achieved after completing the degree programme. The learning outcomes described in the programme description have been prepared in accordance with the National Curriculum Regulations and the Qualifications Framework.

The purpose of the programme is to provide students with a broad theoretical and practical background. Knowledge of biotechnology will be based on a general chemistry platform and thorough training in chemical analysis techniques, which will give the students flexibility in terms of their choice of career and further studies.

Biotechnology is sometimes referred to as the new global growth industry. Great progress has been made in biotechnology, especially in connection with medical diagnostics, forensic analyses, treatment of illnesses, production processes (beer, wine, yoghurt and cheese), animal feed, biological water treatment, the utilisation of enzymes in technical processes, for example in biodiesel and petrol production, and waste management.

An education in biotechnology and chemistry provides opportunities to take part in exciting developments in the food processing industry, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, and the aquaculture and fisheries industry. The education can also provide opportunities for jobs relating to R&D activities at several research institutions and in various research communities.

Possible work areas also include the operation of water treatment facilities, analyses of polluting emissions and mapping of the damaging effects of such pollution on people, animals and nature. The broad chemistry background this programme provides will also enable candidates to work in the industrial production of glue, paint and varnish, detergents and petroleum products.

Further education

The bachelor’s degree programme in Biotechnology and Applied Chemistry has one programme option:

• Biotechnology

It is a three-year programme, and candidates who have completed the programme will be awarded the degree Bachelor of Biotechnology and Applied Chemistry.

There are a number of further education options for candidates with a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Many students go on to take a master’s degree in technology at OsloMet (for example at the Faculty of Health Sciences), NTNU, UMB, UiO or other Norwegian and foreign universities.

The programme is aimed at applicants who have a background in natural science and wish to take higher education in an engineering field. Applicants without a natural science background can apply for admission to OsloMet's introductory course ( Forkurs) or three-semester scheme ( Tre-termin) to qualify for the engineering programmes. See OsloMet’s website: www.oslomet.no/

The Higher Education Entrance Qualification/prior learning and work experience and Mathematics R1+R2 and Physics 1. An introductory course or qualifications from a technical college under previous systems are sufficient to meet the qualification requirements. Applicants with qualifications from a technical college pursuant to the Act relating to Tertiary Vocational Education (2003) only need to take Mathematics R1+R2 and Physics 1.
