Course content
The course is based on the social responsibility of the child protection and child welfare workers as stated in Forskrift om nasjonal retningslinje for barnevernspedagogutdanning. The social responsibility links to knowledge about children, childhood and socialization, as well as professional roles and ethic in child welfare work. Lectures in communication theory, pedagogy and social pedagogy are given too. Additionally, a method in child interviewing is provided through skills development training. In the fieldwork, knowledge from children and skills in play and activities are central. The theoretical knowledge is deepened through field work at primary schools.
