Development
Syksyllä 2010 alkavaa alkavaa aikuiskoulutusta varten on tehty uusi osaamispohjainen opetussuunnitelma. Opetussuunnitelman valmistelu alkoi tammikuussa 2009. Opetussuunnitelmaa on työstetty monialaisessa työryhmässä, jossa on ollut jäseniä sekä vanhustyön että toimintaterapian koulutusohjelmista. Myös fysioterapian ja hoitotyön koulutusohjelman opettajia on osallistunut opetussuunnitelman valmisteluun. Lisäksi projektipäällikkö Leila Lintula on konsultoinut osaamispohjaista opetussuunnitelmatyötä.
Opetussuunnitelmaa on käsitelty vanhustyön neuvottelukunnan kokouksessa neljä kertaa (3.2.2009, 30.9.2009, 25.11.2009, 18.1.2010). Lisäksi työelämäneuvottelukunnan jäseniä osallistui koulutusohjelman opetussuunnittelun kehittämispäivään 28.5.2009. Samaan kehittämispäivään osallistui työelämänedustajana myös erityissosiaalityöntekijä Hanna Liikanen Helsingin kaupungilta.
Opetussuunnitelmaluonnoksen valmistututtua järjestettiin yhteinen arviointi- ja keskustelutilaisuus 9.2.2010. Opetussuunnitelmasta antoi kirjallista palautetta tai osallistui suulliseen keskustelutilaisuuteen 7 työelämän edustajaa. Työelämän palautetta antoivat: Ylihoitaja Päivi Markkanen Helsingin terveyskeskuksesta (Herttoniemen sairaala), Suunnittelija Pirjo Lehto, Helsingin kaupungin Riistavuoren vanhusten keskuksesta, Asiakassuhdevastaava Jaana Sulkava Hoivakoti Päiväkumpu oysta, Geronomi AMK, projektityöntekijä Natalia Solovieva ja Geronomi AMK, projektityöntekijä Tarja Zhou Suomen muistiasiantuntijat rystä, Palvelukeskuksen johtaja/kotihoidonohjaaja Kaija Tenhunen Espoon kaupungi Tapiolan palvelukeskuksesta, kotihoidon ohjaaja Päivi Penttinen Helsingin kaupungin kotihoidosta.
Työelämältä saadun palautteen mukaan opetussuunnitelma vastaa hyvin työelämän odotuksia ja vanhustyön osaamistavoitteita. Opetussuunnitelma edusta myös nykyaikaista ja kehittävää näkemystä vanhustyöstä. Työelämän palautteen pohjalta tehtiin vielä joitakin tarkennuksia opsin sisältöihin, esim. vahvistettiin entisestään muistisairaiden hoidon ja kuntoutuksen osaamista sekä profiloitiin tarkemmin geronomin osaamista harjoittelujaksojen kuvauksissa.
Vanhustyön koulutusohjelmassa opiskelee tällä hetkellä kaksi nuorisasteen tutkintoa suorittavaa opiskelijaryhmää (1. ja 2. vuoden opiskelijaryhmät) Toisen vuoden opiskelijat ovat osallistuneet opetussuunnitelmatyöhön antamalla palautetta voimassa olevasta nuorisoasteen tutkintoon johtavasta opetussuunnitelmasta yhteisissä lukukausien palaute- ja arviointikesteluissa. Lisäksi he ovat ryhmänä arvioineet osaamispohjaista aikuiskoulutuksen opetussuunnitelmaluonnosta 19.2010.
Opiskelijoiden palauttteen mukaan opetussuunnitelma on rakenteeltaan selkeä ja siinä on ymmärrettävästi luettavissa geronomilta vaadittava osaaminen. Osaamiskuvaukset auttavat myös opiskelijaa määrittelemään omat oppimistavoitteensa. Opiskelijoiden palautteen pohjalta tarkennettiin opetussuunnitelman osaamiskuvauksia kuntoutuksen osaamisen sekä muistisairaiden hoidon ja kuntoutuksen osaamisen ja opetuksen etenemisen osalta.
Opetussuunnitelman toteutusta tullaan arvioimaan keräämällä palautetta sekä opiskelijoilta että työelämältä lukukausien ja -vuoden aikana. Palautteen pohjalta tehdään tarkennuksia tuleviin opetussuunnitelmiin.
