The workshop on ‘the shift to learning outcomes; rhetoric or reality?’ will provide an opportunity for policy-makers, stakeholders, experts and researchers to discuss the interim findings of the study whose aim is to analyse the transformation of intended learning outcomes into achieved learning outcomes.
The discussions will focus on the influence of learning outcomes on pedagogical theory and tools as well as the impact of learning outcomes-based curricula on teaching practices (in school-based programmes). Research carried out by Cedefop demonstrates that while the learning outcomes approach is rapidly gaining ground across Europe, the diversity of interpretations and applications calls for further dialogue and sharing of experiences. The approach may be well known to some researchers and policy makers, but the awareness of teachers, trainers and learners is of particular importance in this context; the decisive question is whether the main principle of the approach is known and seen as relevant to their daily work.
Participation is by invitation only. If you are interested in participating, please contact the responsible people (see contact details). Please note that only a limited number of participants will be accepted.
