Quality Assurance Netherlands Universities Domain Specific Requirements
Three perspectives General requirements and frameworks for defining intended learning outcomes • Domain (informatics, chemistry, law, etc.) • Level (short, first, second cycle) • Orientation (research, applied, professional)
This presentation • Domain specific requirements and frameworks • The international benchmark and examples from Information Sciences • Positioning of the programme • Defining learning outcomes • Questions?
Domain Specific Requirements • Procedure for defining the domain specific requirements • Domain specific requirements and intended learning outcomes
BenchmarkHEI and demands from the field What are the demands that the professional / academic field has for graduates of this programme • Body of knowledge of the field • main issues • research questions • core theory • research methods • Skills • Connecting / relating fields of study
Specific information about Information Sciences Institutions involved in formulating the domain specific framework / developing model curriculum for IS: • IS 2010 Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Information Systems is the latest report on the model curriculum work in the Information Systems field • The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) • AIS (Association for Information Systems) • AITP (formerly DPMA) and • IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing)
Positioning of the programme • Local context of the programme • what do local industries need from entry-level professionals? • Is the programme embedded in a Technical Faculty, or in an Economical Faculty? • this says something about the focus of the programme • and of the specialisation of the faculty members, for instance
Defining intended learning outcomes • Analyse the international demands and intended learning outcomes of other institutions • What learning outcomes are reasonable and relevant given the local context? • Which profile does the institution aim for?
Assignment • two lines: • sort out the organisations and institutions in the region of your university you want to use for input in the domain specific requirements • list universities / programmes with which you would like to benchmark
40 minutes • 4 organisations or universities /programmes • Why these? • Write it down, • Hand it in • Or send by email
