Learning outcomes

The student is able to
- follow trends in the relevant field of specialization
- critically evaluate the sources of information about the current issues in the given field of expertise
- utilize innovative approaches and current knowledge bases to develop and manage operations

Implementation and methods of teaching

The course is completed by reflecting on knowledge and skills gathered in working life: conferences, seminars, fairs, work projects, etc. The performance is carried out by writing an analytical report on a topic agreed with the tutor-teacher. The report will refer to the reflection at MA level on what essential developmental insights can be found in the material: applicable methods, experiential learning and applicable changes to development or results from which lessons can be learned. These will be reflected in a MA level report, in relation to either to student's own work or MA thesis.

Timing and attendance

The course can be taken flexibly during the academic year.

Learning material and recommended literature

Literature related to your own skills. In addition, basic literature on design thinking can be used.

Working life cooperation

The student's own employer or other co-operating organisation related to their skills

Student time use and work load

Completion of a project or participation in an event or conference and writing a YAMK-level analytical report 133 h in total

Assessment criteria

Assessment is based on a pass/fail scale.

The performance may be rejected or the report may be supplemented if the knowledge base provided in the report is limited and/or unsubstantiated, and if it shows a superficial level of expertise. Sources are not appropriate. References and citations are missing and/or incorrect and do not follow appropriate guidelines. The student demonstrates poor knowledge base building and fails to recognise the need for change in the field. Written and visual communication is very poor.

Assessment scale

Approved/Failed

Failed (0)

Implementation and methods of teaching

Contents
The master student plans three (3) educational days through which the course is carried out. An educational day means one consisting of participation in national or international education, a conference, seminar, visit etc, arranged either by LAB UAS, by your own employer or an outside institution. The purpose of these events is to deepen and complete the student´s competences in his/ her area of expertise. The student presents a proposal for participation in the selected educational day or days to the tutor teacher before the event and is able to take part in it after approval by the teacher. The student prepares a report according to the instructions given and based on their own their own learning objectives with the improved competences outlined.
The detailed instructions and implementation description are published on Moodle.
There is no timing plan for the course, but it is possible to carry it out during the education period (1.5 – 2.5 years) all at once or spread over several occasions.
