Norwegian Sign Language 1 for Primary and Lower Secondary School Teachers Programme description

Clinical training makes up 90 credits and is carried out over a total of 60 weeks. Of these, 50 weeks are related to clinical training in direct contact with patients and next of kin, and cooperation with other health professions. The remaining weeks are spent on skills training at the simulation and skills centre and on preparing for clinical training. See the National Curriculum for Nursing Education 2008, p. 14.

Clinical training is organised as six courses and each is carried out over a period of approx. ten weeks. In the first and second years, students will receive approx. two weeks of preparatory theoretical teaching before embarking on eight weeks¿ clinical training with direct patient contact.

In the third year, students take two clinical training courses. In the autumn semester, students will take surgical training, before which they will receive two weeks of preparatory theoretical teaching and then eight weeks¿ clinical training with direct patient contact. In the spring semester, students will take medical training comprising ten weeks¿ clinical training with direct patient contact.  Parts of medical training will be taken in the municipal health service. Students will acquire knowledge and skills relating to management and inter-professional cooperation in these courses.

Clinical training preparationStudents are expected to prepare ahead of each clinical training period. In preparation for each period, teaching sessions will be held at the university, and students are expected to attend these. It is also expected that the students familiarise themselves with the learning outcomes for the course, which also form the basis for midway (formative) and final (summative) assessments in the course, and with the practical information provided in the programme description.

SupervisionClinical training is supervised. A supervisor from the clinical training establishment is responsible for day-to-day supervision, while a supervisor from the university will provide regular follow-up of the student throughout the training period.

Specification of learning outcomesIn the course of the first few weeks of each clinical training period, the students must specify the learning outcomes for the clinical training period/course in relation to their own preconditions for learning and the framework at the clinical training establishment in question. This must be approved by the clinical training supervisor and supervisor at the university. These learning outcome descriptions must be concrete, relevant, realistic and measurable.

Written assignments and logsDuring the course of the clinical training period, the students must write assignments and keep logs or equivalent methods of reflecting on their clinical training. The students will receive written or oral feedback. The assignments and logs are an integrated part of clinical training and form part of the assessment of the student¿s knowledge/competence.

Student BEST ¿ Better and systematic team trainingDuring the last year of the programme when the students are to acquire competence in the specialist health service, they will take a learning programme together with students enrolled on OsloMet¿s Advanced Programme in Nurse Anaesthesia and medicine students from the University of Oslo (UiO). The learning programme Student BEST (Better and systematic team training) builds on simulation in teams and is used as a training method in the admission and stabilising of trauma patients. This takes place at the university¿s simulation and skills centre on the Pilestredet campus. The learning programme employs interdisciplinary simulation to achieve its main goal of communication and interaction, where different professions work together in a critical situation. Students are divided into groups of 5¿6 students. The group participants are each allocated a role and must strive to fill this role as a professional practitioner. The simulation day starts with an introductory lecture. The practical exercise lasts 20¿30 minutes, followed by a 30 minute debriefing. The students will take part in four different situations (cases) during the course of the simulation day. The learning programme is an integrated part of clinical training and forms part of the assessment of the student¿s knowledge/competence.

Geographical areas for the clinical training

Nursing education at OsloMet has several campuses. The clinical training take place in a larger geographical area in the Oslo municipality and municipalities / counties around Oslo. This means that students must count on travel paths to and from clinical training.

ShiftsAttendance at clinical training totals an average of 30 hours a week. Shifts are to be planned for these periods. Study days must be evenly distributed over the course of the clinical training period. Depending on the clinical training establishment and period, the student should do shifts during the day, evening, night and weekend during the period, and he/she should primarily follow the clinical training supervisor¿s shift arrangements, where possible. The shift plan functions as a contract and cannot be changed without the approval of the supervisor at the university and the clinical training supervisor.

Compulsory attendance and absence from clinical trainingStudents¿ clinical training can only be assessed if their attendance is sufficiently high. It is the student¿s responsibility to ensure that their absence from clinical courses does not exceed the permitted amount. The rules are as follows:

• Less than 10% absence: The student can complete the clinical course as normal.
• 10¿20%: If possible, the student can make up for the clinical training missed. This must be agreed with the clinical training supervisor and the supervisor at the university.
• More than 20% absence: The student must re-take the whole clinical training course.

Illness during clinical training periodsIf students fall ill and their absence from a clinical course exceeds 20%, a medical certificate is required for all days of absence in excess of 10%. The absence will then be deemed to be valid, and the student will have to re-take the clinical course in its entirety. This will lead to delayed progress in the programme.

Absence without a valid reasonIf the student does not have a valid reason for absence, the clinical course will be registered as failed and count as an attempt. Students who fail a practical course twice will normally have to leave the programme.

The Department of Nursing and Health Promotion has a well-established cooperation with a number of universities and university colleges in countries both in and outside Europe. The department is also a member of various international networks in the field. A period of study abroad can make an important contribution to academic and personal development; it will provide new challenges in the field, new international contacts, better language skills and insight into other cultures.

Instead of the course Clinical Studies, Health Promotive and Preventive Work, the students can choose to take the International Public Health course (15 credits), which is included in other bachelor¿s degrees at the Faculty of Health Sciences. All classes in this course are taught in English.

Students can take part in international intensive courses in Europe under the Erasmus programme, which is the EU¿s programme for cooperation between higher education institutions in Europe, and in the Nordic countries under the Nordplus framework programme. The courses last from between one and three weeks and are a student exchange where the student meets students from other countries and cooperates on international challenges relating to health issues. Some of the intensive courses are interdisciplinary.

Students can also take clinical training as part of their studies at institutions with which the department has cooperation agreements. This can be done in the second year of the programme in the fourth semester. Students who are going to a country in the South, i.e. Cuba and countries in Africa and Asia, must take part in a compulsory preparatory fieldwork course arranged by the university before departure.

As part of internationalisation at home, the university accepts exchange students through Erasmus and the Nordplus framework programme in the second and third years of the programme. Lecturers from partner institutions in and outside Europe will also give lectures and offer supervision each year. These will be given in English.

Coursework requirements are all types of work/activities/compulsory attendance that are conditions for being permitted to take the exam. The course descriptions specify which coursework requirements apply to each course. The deadline for submitting coursework is set by the person responsible for the course or lecturer.

The purpose of the coursework requirements is to:

• promote progress and academic development in the programme
• encourage students to seek out and acquire new knowledge
• facilitate cooperation and communication on nursing issues

Coursework requirements and compulsory activities in clinical training

All clinical training have different mandatory activities and tasks in the implementation. See chapter on Clinical training. In some clinical courses, there may also be requirements for work requirements and activities that must be approved before a final assessment of the subject can be made.

Assessment of coursework requirementsThe required coursework is assessed as approved/not approved by the person responsible for the course/lecturer. Fellow students can also participate in providing feedback on some of the coursework.

Validity of required courseworkIf more than one academic year passes between when a student¿s required coursework is approved and the exam in the course in question, the faculty can require the student to retake the coursework before being permitted to take the exam.

Not approved courseworkNormally, students are given three attempts to have coursework approved. If a piece of required coursework is not approved, this may lead to delayed progress in the programme.

As far as possible, the second attempt will be given before the ordinary exam, unless otherwise stated in the course description. The student must agree with the person responsible for the course/lecturer in each individual case.

If a second attempt is impossible due to the nature of the coursework requirements (e.g. attendance requirements or taking a first aid course that is only held once), the person responsible for the course/lecturer will consider whether alternative coursework can be set.

Such alternative work has in the past been set in the form of a written assignment, a video recording or similar to demonstrate that the student possesses the knowledge specified in the coursework requirement.

A third and final attempt is normally given before resit and rescheduled exams.

Valid absence documented by e.g. a medical certificate does not exempt students from meeting the coursework requirements.

Norsk tegnspråk 1, trinn 1-10 gir en allmenn innføring i norsk tegnspråk og består av opplæring i tegnspråk og innføring i døves historie og kultur.

Studentene skal lære å bruke tegnspråk i samtale og å forstå enkle tegnspråktekster. Videre gis en teoretisk innføring i hvordan norsk tegnspråk er bygd opp, og en orientering i faget norsk tegnspråk hvor også samfunnsmessige, kulturelle, historiske og kommunikative sider ved faget inngår.

Studiet er bygd opp som to emner, hvert på 15 studiepoeng, og går over ett år med start om høsten. Det er tre samlinger à fem dager i semestret. Emne 2 bygger på undervisningen i emne 1. Til sammen skal de to emnene sikre det læringsutbyttet som de nasjonale styringsdokumentene krever.

Studiets to deler reflekterer lærerens egen progresjon i språklæringen ved at emne 2 bygger på innholdet i emne 1. For nærmere oversikt over fokusområder, se den enkelte emneplan.

Norsk tegnspråk 1 er et nett- og samlingsbasert studium. Fagplanen legger til rette for studiearbeid og kommunikasjon deltakerne imellom ved hjelp av digitale verktøy mellom samlingene. Her har digitale læringsplattformer en sentral plass. Integrert i studiet er også opplæring i nyttige digitale verktøy til bruk både i egen språklæring og i elevenes språklæring.

Undervisningen gis i all hovedsak på norsk tegnspråk, av og til på norsk. Gjennom hele studiet får studentene anledning til å bruke norsk tegnspråk på samlingene. På samlingene blir undervisningen gitt i form av forelesninger, veiledning og praktiske oppgaver. Gjennomføring av praktiske oppgaver skjer på tegnspråk. Tavle, bilder, skrift, video og håndalfabet vil også bli benyttet.

Mellom samlingene arbeider deltakerne med selvstudium av pensumtekster, praktisering av egne ferdigheter ved bruk av video og i eventuelt lokalt tegnspråkmiljø, erfaringsdeling med kolleger og innlevering av arbeidskrav. Det forutsettes aktiv bruk av video mellom samlingene. Da studiet også er basert på arbeidskrav mellom samlingene, vil det være nødvendig at studentene har tilgang til datamaskin med kamera og opptaksmulighet, samt internettilgang.

Studentene skal tilegne seg kunnskaper om og ferdigheter i innhenting og bruk av aktuelle kilder, litteratur og annen informasjon, herunder grunnleggende henvisnings- og sitatteknikk og hva som defineres som plagiat og fusk i studentarbeider. 

Retten til å avlegge eksamen forutsetter godkjente arbeidskrav, 10 arbeidskrav i hvert av de to emnene. Arbeidskravene er beskrevet i de enkelte emneplanene.

Arbeidskrav skal være levert/utført innen fastsatte frister. Gyldig fravær dokumentert med for eksempel sykemelding fritar ikke for å innfri et arbeidskrav. Studenter som på grunn av sykdom eller annen dokumentert gyldig årsak ikke leverer/utfører arbeidskrav innen fristen, kan få forlenget frist. Ny frist for å innfri arbeidskrav avtales i hvert enkelt tilfelle med den aktuelle faglæreren.

Arbeidskrav vurderes til "Godkjent" eller "Ikke godkjent". Studenter som leverer/utfører arbeidskrav innen fristen, men som får vurderingen "Ikke godkjent", har anledning til maksimum to nye innleveringer/utførelser.

Studenter må da selv avtale ny vurdering av det aktuelle arbeidskravet med faglærer.

For å sikre studentenes utvikling av egen IKT-kompetanse innenfor faget norsk tegnspråk, har ett av arbeidskravene integrerte IKT-krav.

Faglig aktivitet med krav om deltakelse
