Features of Programme Outcomes Written for a broad audience Written in context to reference points Describe the likely achievements of a typical student  Provide a generalised overview of the programme curriculum in terms of generic competences within a subject specific context Not directly tested or testable BUT can be mapped to the outcomes of modules

Prompt Questions for Programme Aims and Programme Outcomes starting points aims vs. outcomes One possible starting point where aims and the rationale are present for an existing programme of study within existing programme documentation……..

On completion of this programme it is expected that students will:/ … …. be able to: …. demonstrate: anatomy …derive and apply solutions from knowledge of sciences, engineering sciences, technology and mathematics …be aware of the nature and treatment of medical emergencies, and the general hazards and risks of …surgery Not directly tested or testable BUT can be mapped to the outcomes of modules …a general knowledge of the history of …in Western Europe Provide a generalised overview of the programme curriculum in terms of generic competences within a subject specific context

Competences Subject Specific - Generic linked through the use of the common learning outcomes language drafted using active, non-ambiguous verbs verbs refer to the representation of learning, not the process anatomy “Through discussion, creation of reciprocal knowledge and mapping the ways the subject area is learned and taught in the various countries, insight was gained and consensus built on what constitutes the vital core of each subject area.” Tuning Project (2007)

starting points curriculum mapping Curriculum Mapping One possible starting point where outcomes for constituent modules or courses are present for an existing programme of study within existing programme documentation……..
