Development
Opetussuunnitelman uudistamisen yhteydessä 2020 sen perustaksi
toteutettiin mm. kysely, johon vastasivat työelämän edustajat,
valmistuneet ja nykyiset opiskelijat sekä alan opettajat ja tutkimus- ja
kehittämistoiminnan yhteystyötahot. Opetussuunnitelmaa
kehitetään jatkuvasti yhteistyössä Metropolian sosiaalialan koulutuksen
neuvottelukunnan ja opettajatiimin kanssa.
Hakukelpoisia tutkintoja ovat sosionomi (AMK) ja geronomi (AMK) tutkinnot.
Opetussuunnitelman
Tavoitteet ja sisällöt vastaavat kansallisessa (NQF) ja
eurooppalaisessa (EQF) ylempien korkeakoulututkintojen viitekehyksissä
määriteltyä tasoa 7. Opetussuunnitelma on laadittu osaamisperustaiseksi
Metropolian ammattikorkeakoulun hallituksen linjausten mukaisesti.
Further information
Opetussuunnitelma on kopioitu sellaisenaan S0923S6-opetussuunnitelmasta. Ainoana muutoksena, että 30op opintojaksolla Opinnäytetyö XX00FB87 on korvattu 3 aiemmin erillistä opinnäytetyöhön liittyvää opintojaksoa.
Liitteeksi lisätty yhteisten johtamisen opintojen arviointikriteerit, vaikka yhteiset johtamisen opinnot eivät ole vielä tällä OPSilla, vaan tulevat vasta 2025 OPSille.
