Koulutusohjelmakuvaus

Koulutus toteutetaan monimuoto - opetuksena, jolloin opiskelu tapahtuu työn ohessa perustuen yhteiseen
sopimukseen työnantajan kanssa. Kaksipäiväiset lähijaksot pidetään noin kolmen viikon välein. Lähijakson pidetään
vuorotellen Diakin Etelän Helsingin toimipaikassa ja Laurea Otaniemen toimipisteessä. Lähijaksojen välissä opetus
ja oppiminen toteutetaan ryhmäkohtaisesti sovittuina pienryhmätapaamisina (kerran kuukaudessa),
verkkopohjaisessa OPTIMAympäristössä sekä opiskelijoiden itseopiskeluna.

Lähiopetus antaa mahdollisuuden yhteistoiminnalliseen oppimiseen. Tällöin painotetaan opiskelijoiden omaa
asiantuntijuutta. Opetuskeskustelut ja yksilö-, pari - ja tiimitöiden esitykset ovat oppimistilanteita, joissa
moniammatillisen ryhmän ja opiskelijoiden työkokemuksen rikkaus pääsevät esille ja opiskelijoiden osaaminen ja
kokemukset välittyvät ja kumuloituvat koko ryhmän oppimiseksi.

Koulutusohjelman kuvaus

Terveyden edistämisen koulutusohjelman johtaminen perhe- ja perhehoitotyössä opinnot 90 op muodostuvat
syventävistä opinnoista, vapaasti valittavista opinnoista ja opinnäytetyöstä. Opintoteemat/ opintokokonaisuudet
jakaantuvat opintojaksoihin. Syventävien opintojen tavoitteena on antaa opiskelijalle mahdollisuus syventää
terveyden edistämisen ja perhe- ja perhehoitotyön johtamisen substanssi ja tutkimus- ja kehittämisosaamista. (7 a §
16.6.2005/423). Opinnoissa opinnäytetyö kehittämistehtävänä on keskeinen, johon koulutuksen syventävien ja
valinnaisten opintojen on tarkoitus kytkeytyä opiskelijan henkilökohtaisen oppimissuunnitelman mukaisesti.
Opintokokonaisuudet etenevät sisältöteemoittain ja integroituvat opinnäytetyössä tutkimus- ja kehittämistoimintaan.
Opinnäytetyö on koko koulutuksen läpäisevä prosessi. Osa opinnoista on vapaasti valittavia opintoja
henkilökohtaisen opetussuunnitelman mukaan. (Asetus 423/2005)

125 ELECTIVE STUDIES, 10 cr

Description:
Students use elective studies to deepen and broaden their competence in various themes and ge-neric
competences. Students should choose study units to align the content of their studies with their own personal
interests and career objectives.

Content:
Each curriculum contains a theme consisting of elective studies. In the students’ personal study plans, the theme
should be made up of the study units chosen by the student from Laurea’s language studies, Laurea’s shared
studies or another degree programme’s curriculum. Any studies completed at another higher education institution
(university of applied sciences, university, Online University of Applied Sciences, foreign institution) that cannot be
recognised for the degree programme but that the student wishes to include in the degree should be classified
under this theme. The number of credits from elective studies can be set separately for each degree programme,
tak-ing into account recommendations for the field of study. The aim is to have at least 15 cr of elective studies in
each degree programme
