  3. Degree Qualifications Profile • One of several strategies for addressing the call to increase quality degree completions nationally. • A framework to help create understanding of the value of a degree. • An intentional focus on student learning as the measure for valuing the degree. • A means for establishing both the common and the unique elements of a college’s offering within a shared vocabulary.

  4. Initiatives related to learning outcomes Colleges’ Identification of expected learning and documentation of learning for use in course improvement, planning, and increased student achievement.

  5. Initiatives related to learning outcomes AAC&U’s Essential Learning Outcomes provide a framework to guide students’ cumulative progress through a liberal education

  6. Initiatives related to learning outcomes European model adapted: discipline specific initiatives to frame incremental learning outcomes within majors.

  7. Degree Qualifications Profile • Categorizes degree-level student learning outcomes into five categories of learning. • Identifies student learning outcomes in these categories at the associate, bachelor’s and master’s degree levels. • The outcomes are not detailed from the perspective of specific disciplines; this is to happen as the DQP is used for creating a particular degree profile.

  8. The Five Categories of Learning • Two types of knowledge: specialized and broad/integrative. • Specialized: depth of study within a particular area or field, to permit students to learn and achieve mastery. • Broad/integrative: breadth of study, to provide students with learning about relationships between fields of study and foundations of knowledge.

  9. The Five Categories of Learning • Intellectual Skills, skills which enable the other realms of learning: • Analytic inquiry • Use of information resources • Engaging diverse perspectives • Quantitative fluency • Communication fluency

  10. The Five Categories of Learning • Applied learning, what graduates can do with what they know: • knowledge and skills from coursework appliedin non-academic settings • application of learning from external experiences to work within the academic setting

  11. The Five Categories of Learning • Civic learning, related to knowledge of, and commitment to action within a community context.

  12. Degree Qualifications Profile • The framework can move conversation beyond process and format to content more quickly. • It provides a means for identifying possible gaps in existing degree level outcomes. • The categories of learning and levels of outcomes offer examination and comparison outside the department and college.

  13. Finally, let’s take a brief look at the DQP.
