Comparability and Compatibility of Qualifications and Curricula Dr. Anna Muravieva, Centre for VET Studies, Moscow
Instruments • National qualifications framework • Regional QFs • Sector QFs • Occupational standards • Recognition/validation tools(e.g.ECVET)
Key question: what makes qualifications and curricula compatible? Basis: learning outcomes – as a link between education/VET and the world of work
Learning outcomes Learning outcomes are statements that describe significant and essential learning that learners have achieved, and can reliably demonstrate at the end of a course or programme. In other words, learning outcomes identify what the learner will know and be able to do by the end of a course or programme
Qualification Qualification is a formal outcome of an assessment or validation which is obtained when a competent body determines that an individual has achieved learning outcomes to given standards and/or possesses the necessary competence to do a job in a specific area of work. A qualification confers official recognition of the value of learning outcomes in the labour market and in education and training
Benefits of LOs • They allow to describe requirements to graduates that are relevant for the labour market (as occupational or qualification standards), that serve the foundation for VET standards, curricula and assessment criteria • They make possible international comparability of qualifications and curricula
Qualifications Frameworks Qualifications frameworks – are structured level-based descriptions of qualifications recognized nationally and internationally. A means for linking the supply and demand of qualifications. • Serve to measure and compare learning outcomes and establish a hierarchy of diplomas and certificates. • .
