Practical Training - Information Technology and Business

Aim

On completion of the course, the student should be able to: - describe a nontrivial assignment with bearing on IT and activities in practice - understand and evaluate IT and its role in activities based on theory and practice - systematise and critically evaluate identified aspects of IT and activities - identify, describe and evaluate roles and actors relative to a nontrivial assignment including one's own profession - understand and evaluate in practice occurring models, methods and working methods and relate them to relevant theory in the area.

Content

The course contains both theoretical and practical parts. The practical parts consist of that the student during a continuous period, comprising at least 50 percent of the workload of the course, participates in the work with a nontrivial assignment at an external organisation (referred to below as placement). This should be seen as a form of placement, where the student is given the opportunity to implement and test the theoretical knowledge in practice and at the same time learn from the placement and the relation between theory and practice. Aspects of the placement (documented in field notes that constitute a during the course emerging report) are covered at seminar on repeated occasions and are related to suitable theory within the subject. The main contents of the course are: - Attendance and participation in an external organisation's handling of IT and activities - Document experiences and analyse these as above in a report - To under supervision from both current placement and the higher education institution in an independent and responsible way work with documentation, analysis concerning the process and achieved results, as well as moving the process forward - To prepare for future profession and an in practice reflecting approach Both current activities and the nontrivial assignment that the student should participate in the solution of should be approved by the examining teacher.
