Competences and Learning outcomesExplanatory Definitions A competence is: • property of the student; • describes what the student can do; • similar to requirements in a short job description; • should contain information on the context in which the competence is applied; and • this may also imply the ‘level’ of the competence. A learning outcome (programme level) is: • a longer statement describing a measurable outcome of a competence; • clear link to the level of the competence; and • not a property of the student, but a means for the higher education institutions to measure if students have developed their competences to the required level.
Learning outcomes 5 key components: • Active verb • Type of learning outcome: • Knowledge, • Cognitive process, • Skills, and • Wider competence • Topic area of the learning outcome • Indication of the standard or the level that is intended • The scope and/or the context of the learning outcome
