Differences? Consensus about competencies and education Accessible EANN services and resources, stronger links with national associations Share knowledge, make it available -- network European Function Profile  European Competence Profile  European Curriculum The project: history European competence based blended learning framework for life-long vocational training of neuroscience nurses

Project outcomes

nEUroBlend kick off meeting, nov 4+5, 2005, Helsinki Competence based learning A competence describes behaviour needed to be successful in a professional context. Levels criteria, reflection Competence development requires the use of knowledge, skills and attitudes in an integrated way within an authentic learning environment Different every time  situation Meta-action Result/product action Knowledge Skills Attitudes roles Anticipate Plan care or treatment Reflection Justify actions Explain why Criteria for action Product criteria  standards & routines

nEUroBlend kick off meeting, nov 4+5, 2005, Helsinki Competence based learning A competence describes behaviour needed to be successful in a professional context. Levels criteria, reflection Competence based learning and teaching philosophy could include: ………  Learning is aimed at actively constructing knowledge in a meaningful context  A competence is connected to meaningful job/task-specific learning contexts  Integrative learning aimed at coherence rather than loose facts  Active reflection  Working together as on the workfloor where possible  Flexible learning paths  Adjusted to needs and EGC’s of individual learner  Competences cannot be learned in one click, they grow in a process  Individual learner is responsible for own learning process  Teacher is facilitator or coach for learning process
