Development
Tutkinto-ohjelmassa saavutettava osaamisen perustuu lukuvuodelle 2017-2018 laadittuun oeptussuunnitelmaan, jossa määriteltiin yhteisessä työpajassa pääkaupunkiseudun vanhustyön parissa työskentelevien kuntien ja järjestöjen asiantuntijoiden sekä ikäihmisiä edustavien kokemusasiantuntijoiden kanssa. Lisäksi analysoitiin tulevaisuuden vanhustyön ja gerontologisen osaamisen tarpeita, erityisesti pääkaupunkiseudun näkökulmasta, perehtymällä sosiaali- ja terveysministeriön ja kuntien strategioihin sekä meneillään olevaan sote-uudistuksen pääkaupunkiseudun kärkihankkeen tavoitteisiin. Lisäksi analysoitiin RAY:n (1.1.2017 alkaen STEA) Eloisa Ikä -ohjelman tavoitteita tulevaisuuden vanhustyön kehittämisen näkökulmasta. Työpajan ja analyysin tulosten pohjalta muodostettiin tutkinnon kompetenssit, joihin perustuvat opetussuunnitelman ydinosaamisen alueita kuvaavat opintokokonaisuudet ja opintojaksot.
Opetussuunnitelman tekemisen aikana arvioitiin tutkinnon painopisteitä ja profilointia yhdessä moninaista ikääntymistä edustavien järjestöjen hanketoimijoiden kanssa. Tutkinnon progfiilissa korostuu voimavaralähtöiseen, osallistuvaan ja moninaiseen ikääntymiseen perustuva gerontologinen osaaminen ja asiakasymmärrys sekä moniasiantuntijuuteen perustuva yhteistoiminta vanhustyön ja palvelujen kehittämisessä ja johtamisessa, Myös Suomen Geronomiliitto ry on antanut palautetta opetussuunnitelman vastaavuudesta työelämän osaamisen tarpeisiin.
Opetussuunnitelman jatkotyöskentelyssä ja ensimmäisen aloitusryhmän opintojen toteutussuunnittelussa on tarkoitus hyödyntää työelämän asiantuntemusta ja näkemyksiä tulevaisuuden vanhustyön osaamisen tarpeista. Yhteistyötä on jatkettu mm. moninaisuuden näkökulmasta Jade-hankkeen ja Seta ry:n sateenkaariseniorityön kanssa. Opetussuunnitelmasta ja sen toteutuksesta on pyydetty myös palautetta Vanhustyön ja toimintaterapian tutkinto-ohjelmien työelämäneuvottelukunnalta.
Opetussuunnitelman tavoitteet ja sisällöt vastaavat kansallisessa (NQF) ja eurooppalaisessa (EQF) ylempien korkeakoulututkintojen viitekehyksissä määriteltyä tasoa 7. Opetussuunnitelma on laadittu osaamisperustaiseksi Metropolian ammattikorkeakoulun strategisten ja Metropolia Master`s kehittämisverkoston yhteisten linjausten mukaisesti. Tässä opetussuunnitelmassa tutkimusmenetelmäopintoja on tarkistettu Metropolian linjausten mukaisesti.
