Winter School“Promoting European Dimension in Higher Education” Andy Gibbs Yerevan 2009
Day Two – Some Pointers • You will not design anything without learning to write learning outcomes • They are the building blocks of the Bologna Process • Tuning will mean nothing without understanding learning outcomes • Competencies won’t be in the curriculum if you don’t write learning outcomes • Specialities need learning outcomes • What are national peculiarities? Why do they exist?
So what? • We need to spend some more time on outcomes before we can move on • We need to look at levels • We need to look at components of a learning outcome
Anti Discriminatory Practice – an example from nursing showing benchmarks and external reference points on completion of first cycle

AIMS • Be able to write precisely learning outcomes • Know how to develop programs and curriculum based on the students’ competences • Have the knowledge and understanding of the basic competences for the bachelor’s and master degrees
Your presentation Make a ten minute presentation with an example of a first cycle programme learning outcome and explain how it would be assessed to ensure it had been achieved at the correct level Make a ten minute presentation illustrating a competency that students would be expected to have by the end of the first cycle. Write a learning outcome that if successfully achieved would demonstrate that the student had this competency Make a ten minute presentation outlining the differences between competences at first and second level. Describe two differences you would expect to see in student behaviour at these levels.
