HAMK School of Professional Teacher Education International Professional Teacher Education programme Study Guide 2018-2019

Welcome to the HAMK School of Professional Teacher Education! This guide is intended to be a practical help for participants in professional teacher education. You will be able to complete your studies in time by doing your part and following this guide and its timetables. According to yearly feedback, being an active member of your own student peer group is very important to our students. The group supports you, encourages you and provides you with new perspectives and experiences. The curriculum and implementation plan support active learning and knowledge sharing in student groups. Student groups are an excellent environment for learning, as people from different fields compare their experiences and ideas. Our studies will give wide knowledge, skills and competence in teaching both in Finland and in international context. We will guide you in your personal process of building your own professional teacher identity together with your peer students. The scope of the teacher studies is 60 credits. Our curriculum is competence-based. The implementation plan is built on five competence-based modules, each of which has its own competence objectives. Every module is divided into a number of themes, which reflect the learning objectives for that particular theme. Each theme has its own assessment criteria. Reaching the modules learning outcomes will give you the required competence for your future work as a teacher as well as keys to personal and professional development in your career. The modules learning outcomes have been formed into themes through which the studies progress. The themes have concrete criteria that are used to assess your progress in improving your competence as a teacher during the studies. Your personal progress in the studies depends on your earlier experience as well as personal requirements and situations. We will support you in creating your personal development plan and recognition of your existing competences. We analyse and develop our operation, and perform regular quality work. Teacher students have an important role in this. We gather feedback through surveys, and feedback received in the annual HAMK management s student hearings will help us to improve and maintain high quality of our educational programs. We also gather feedback on the curriculum and implementation plan from our partner institutions to ensure that the plans meet the current and future needs of the labour market. The studies are organised as a process that enriches understanding. Phase by phase, you, as a member of your group, will learn to understand and conceptualise professional activities and practical education work as a professional teacher. Professional teachers are instructors in interaction and networks and members of learning communities. Our studies will give you a broad foundation and the conceptual tools for a sensitive and meaningful profession of a teacher that is based on interaction. We wish you success and motivation in your studies you have made an excellent choice! Katja Rönkkönen Head of Degree Programme

1 1 Competence goals of professional teacher education The basis of the development of expertise is competence in a professional field. This refers to the teacher student s ability to utilise the skills and knowledge of their vocational field, updating them as the field develops, knowing the work culture and recognising the development needs of the field. The expertise of a professional teacher combines this competence specific to a professional field with pedagogical understanding and knowledge. Together, these translate into a theoretical and practical teacher s competence in various operational environments. Professional teacher education is built on professional competence and know-how. Professional teachers must have a command of the knowledge and skills required in their profession to be able to teach and guide vocational students. Professional teacher education is aimed at improving the basic pedagogical skills that teaching requires today. Guidance of learning is at the core of a teacher s work. Teachers must therefore possess theoretical knowledge on learning and the improvement of competence. Naturally, vocational education focuses on the learning of skills. Implementing teaching and guidance in various situations and operational environments including virtual and international ones requires a broad command of teaching and guidance skills. Teachers are increasingly using various digital solutions, which means skills in information and communication technology are a part of every teacher s teaching and guidance skills. Each one of our students is different, and different cultural backgrounds contribute to the need for individualising teaching and guidance activities. The need for good cooperation and interaction skills is emphasised in the work of a professional teacher, as their work includes continuous interaction with students as well as working with internal and external stakeholders and network partners. Skills in collaboration and dialogue focus on working in multiform networks as well as on the improvement of these networks. In order to respond to the changes in the labour market and the society at large, teachers need, in addition to cooperation skills, the ability to combine teaching with research and development activities in their field, which naturally occurs in various operational environments with other actors and stakeholders. A teacher s competence objectives are influenced by changes in the labour market, the structures of vocational education, and the society that together demonstrate the dynamic nature of a teacher's work. Working in the circumstances of constant change and in different environments emphasises the needs for skills at assessing and managing one s own actions. Therefore, self-assessment skills are an integral part of developing teacher s professional identity. Teachers constantly make choices based on values, and thus reflecting on professional ethics is part of a teacher's expertise. As society and the world of work change, teachers need to develop their expertise as well as to have an ability to learn and capabilities for renewing the activities as a part of the community. Teaching and learning is in the process of change due to the phenomenon of digitalism in education. The pedagogical approach and methods need updating. This is due to the rapid

2 change of learner s expectation and needs in the field of education. Education can be provided through various channels and digitalisation provides new tools for teaching and learning. The current trend of using individual study paths in education can also be supported by different digital solutions. The need and demand for creative thinking is always present in education. Therefore, teacher students need new knowledge and skills in digitalisation for the future. The digitalisation is versatility benefitted in our professional teacher education programme. 1.1 Competence-based curriculum and developing as a teacher The competence-based teacher education curriculum is formed of five modules: 1) Basic Studies in Education Sciences, 2) Teaching, Guidance and Assessment Competence, 3) Competence of Building a Learning Community, 4) Practical Teacher Training and 5) Developing Personal Expertise in Pedagogy. The modules learning outcomes describe the competences required in teaching work and are placed in the NQF system s (National Qualifications Framework) reference levels six and seven. For the competence-based modules and their themes, see figure 1. At the beginning of their studies, the students assess their competence in relation to the modules competence objectives, reflecting specifically on the assessment criteria of the different modules themes. Based on the assessment of their competences, the students prepare a personal development plan (PDP). They will also keep a learning diary during their studies. The personal development plans are discussed with the tutor teacher at the beginning of studies.

Teacher students themselves are key actors in their own professional growth. The responsibility for the progress of each teacher student in teacher education is assigned to a tutor teacher at the School of Professional Teacher Education. The teacher in question guides and assesses the student's development as a teacher in accordance with the objectives of the competence-based curriculum s modules. The modules also feature specialist teachers who instruct the students in different thematic areas. Supervising teachers act as experts in the content of teaching and pedagogy during practical teacher training in education institutes. Peer groups that support learning are formed within the student group of each tutor teacher. The aim of the peer groups is to encourage and support students in the progress of their

9 studies during teacher education. Separate agreements are made in each peer group as concerns the specific methods used to support learning. In professional teacher education, student counsellor is responsible for credit recognition and provide guidance in the planning of personal study paths. She also provides career counselling where needed. Student affairs secretary provides practical advice in study-related matters and issues official certificates related to studies. For technical support and advice, contact ServiceDesk at https://servicedesk.hamk.fi or by telephone at +358 (0)3 646 3000 (on weekdays 8.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m.). More detailed information on the guidance services are available on the HAMK website and on the first contact days at the start of studies. 1.3 Assessment of studies Study performance assessment is based on the modules competence objectives and the thematic assessment criteria derived from them. The assessment criteria are used as the foundation of various assignments. Learning assignments include independent assignments, group assignments, plans, reports, group discussions, group tests, development assignments, various reflection and assessment assignments or activating assignments. The assessment generates information for the teacher student on his or her achievement of the competence-based objectives of the modules of teacher education. The studies are assessed on the scale of pass / additional work required. Based on recognition of prior competence and personal situation, competence can be demonstrated on a theme-by-theme basis. A demonstration of competence may cover an entire module s worth of studies. More specific guidelines concerning the practices of recognition and accreditation of prior learning or learning acquired elsewhere during studies (RPL) are provided on the website of the School of Professional Teacher Education, and possible accreditations are handled by the student counsellor and teachers. The student counsellor is responsible for credit transfers, and the teachers in charge of each theme are responsible for the demonstrations of competence. 1.4 Cooperation with educational institutions and supervising teachers Practical teacher training, as a part of teacher education, has major significance for a student's development as a teacher, as the integration of theory and practice takes place through real-life assignments in accordance with the principles of integrative pedagogy. Themes addressed in the modules are applied in practical teacher training. At the beginning of studies, the teacher student agrees on the practical teacher training period with an institution of vocational education and concludes a written agreement with the organisation. A supervising teacher, who must be pedagogically qualified as a teacher, is appointed for all teacher students undergoing practical teacher training. The task of the supervising teachers is to support, guide and assess the competence of the students and their development as professional teachers. The role of the supervising teacher as an expert in the field of education, in authentic learning environments and in the application of the

10 theory of vocational pedagogy is central in promoting the learning of the student. The tasks of the supervising teacher are described in more detail in the practical teacher training agreement. Instructions for the different stages and contents of practical teacher training are provided at the very beginning of studies. Placements for practical teacher training are available for example in the partnering institutions of the School of Professional Teacher Education. Contact information of these institutions can be found on the website of the School of Professional Teacher Education. It is also possible to conduct your practical teacher training period abroad. We provide you with possibilities to teach e.g. in our strategic international partnering universities VIA University College in Denmark or Feevale University in Brazil. 2 Structure of studies Under the government decree on polytechnics (1129/2014), studies in professional teacher education must include basic studies in educational sciences, studies in vocational pedagogy, practical teacher training and other studies. In the curriculum for teacher education at the HAMK School of Professional Teacher Education studies under the decree in question have been dimensioned as follows: Basic Studies in Education Sciences 13 ects Pedagogical Studies 1: Teaching, Guidance and Assessment Competence 17 ects Pedagogical Studies 2: Competence of Building a Learning Community 12 ects Practical Teacher Training 9 ects Developing Personal Expertise in Pedagogy 9 ects. The scope of the studies (60 ects) translates into 1,600 hours of work by the student, out of which, in the case of multiform studies, 200 hours take place in the form of contact teaching.

Multiform studies include contact days and distance learning. Distance learning includes independent studying, taking part in peer group activities, practicing teacher s work and developing one s own pedagogical expertise. The basic technology requirement is a computer with broadband Internet access. The computer must have basic office software (word processor, presentation planner, e-mail and a web browser). Additionally, the user must have administrator access or the right to install other software required for the studies.

12 Achieving the learning outcomes of teacher education requires commitment to studying. There are common rules for studies that both students and teachers must follow. Non-compliance with these rules may cause delay or interruption of studies. The student must read @student.hamk.fi e-mail every week and respond to personal messages from teachers within one week if a response is required. The student must also follow other interaction channels as agreed e.g. Yammer. The student must follow the agreements made together with study group and peer group. The student shall enrol in the modules and their themes as agreed and in accordance with the set schedule. The student must log in to the module-specific Moodle site within one week of the start of a theme and begin studies. The student shall take active part in distance learning activities and contact day work in accordance with the implementation plan. Absences from contact days are allowed only for compelling reasons. The tutor teacher or the teacher responsible for the theme must be informed of absences in advance. If a student is unable to attend group s contact day session, he/she may cover the absence with a replacement assignment that is subject to separate agreement. All replacement assignments must be handed in before the end of the module. If a student has been absent from more than 50% of a module's contact days, the module cannot be completed only with replacement assignments; the student must contact the tutor teacher and agree on special arrangements. The teachers commit to guiding the students as they work on learning assignment following the module implementation. Both students and teachers commit to complying with privacy, security and copyright rules, regulations and guidelines.
