Below you can read the benefits of using learning outcomes and the categories which are used to describe them.
Benefits of using learning outcomes:
- Aligning participants' needs (knowledge, skills, and competences) with the content and methods of the TCA ensures that the participants will acquire the competencies needed to plan and implement their projects.
- Learning outcomes provide clear information to potential participants and help them to decide whether to attend the TCA event.
- Drafting expected learning outcomes makes TCA planning, content, and requirements more consistent.
- Using learning outcomes allows for a more objective evaluation of the TCA event, as it is easier to develop evaluation criteria for concrete expected learning outcomes.
Learning outcomes can be described by the following descriptors based on the European Qualification Framework.[1]
- Knowledge (cognitive)
Cognitive elements, a set of facts, principles, and theories related to a work area, typically the possession of professional knowledge.
- Skill
Ability to apply knowledge and use know-how to complete tasks and solve problems; action-level knowledge, typically professional skills, but also dexterity and the use of and methods, materials, tools, or equipment.
- Competence
Perceptual issues related to profession, work, professional attitudes, views and behaviours such as: open, curious, interested, willing / willing to do something (e.g. collaborative), etc.
Each activity is characterized by the degree of autonomy and responsibility that a person can perform.
Competence can be understood as actually achieved learning outcomes, validated through the ability of the learner to autonomously apply knowledge and skills in practice, in society and at work. Learning outcomes are validated by their relationship to competences.
