Pedagogy in professional education

The bachelor's programmes in nursing and social education (vernepleier) consist of a great deal of practice, 50% and 30%, respectively. The structure of the program, containing both theory and practice, implies educational challenges other than pure subject studies. The research group aims at concretizing and developing research-based knowledge related to issues concerning education of professional practitioners.

NOKUT's accreditation of the education programs was aimed at ensuring the quality of the theoretical element in our professional education. In recent years, there has been a particular national focus on quality in practice studies, and the research group has specifically followed up on this topic in its activities.
