Example

• As a fully trained you must be able to perform
  pedagogical work with the diversity of user
  groups and types of institutions, this involves.
  This means that the students must
• gain knowledge of the practicing of the
  profession (pedagogical theories, terms and
  methods) and the profession (special regulations,
  self-perceptions, cultures, etc.)
• enable the possibility to use this knowledge to
  perform the profession in a concrete situation,
  that means to make plans for, carry out and
  evaluate pedagogical work
• enable the possibility to reflect upon the very
  foundation of the pedagogical activity and
  his/her own role in it in relation to different
  formation/culture ideals, values, views of human
  nature, aims, ethics and so on
