Opiskelumateriaali

Opintojakson oppimismateriaali esitellään Learnissä opintojakson orientaatiossa.

Yksilölliset oppimisväylät

Työviikkopohjainen oppimisväylä:
Osallistut opintojakson orientaatiossa esitetyn toteutuksen mukaiseen opetukseen ja ohjaukseen. Opiskelusi rytmittyvät työjärjestyksen mukaisten oppimistehtävien mukaan.

Opintoja nopeuttava oppimisväylä:
Jos työskentelet terveysalan yrityksessä, organisaatiossa tai korkeakoulun tarjoamassa projektissa, voit suorittaa opintojakson tai moduulin työpaikallasi/projektissa joko kokonaan tai osittain. Tällöin olet yhteydessä opintojakson alussa opintojakson opettajaan ja sovit työpaikallesi/projektille tehtävästä kehittämistehtävästä. Oppiminen edellyttää, että työssäsi perehdyt opintojaksolla käsiteltäviin teemoihin ja hallitset ne sekä teoriassa että käytännössä. Osoitat osaamisesi osaamisen näyttönä, jonka laajuus määräytyy opintojakson oppimistavoitteiden mukaan.

Työhön integroitu oppimisväylä:
Voit suorittaa opintojakson jonkun muun ryhmän mukana. Keskustele aikataulutuksesta ova-opettajasi kanssa HOPS - keskustelussa. Mikäli sinulla on aiheeseen liittyvää aikaisempaa osaamista, voit hyväksilukea opintojakson vastaavalla työkokemuksella tai opinnoilla joko kokonaan tai osittain (osaamisen näyttö, jos ei ole todistusta). Osittaisessa hyväksilukemisessa suoritat itsenäisenä opiskeluna ne osa-alueet, joita ei ole hyväksiluettu.

Tentit ja muut määräajat

Oppimistehtävien määräajat ilmoitetaan Learnissä opintojakson orientaatiossa.

Opiskelijan työmäärä

Opintojakso on 5 op, mikä vastaa 135 h opiskelijan työtä (5 x 27 h).

Toteutuksen osien kuvaus
