About
The project uses a multi-level, comparative approach to explore how learning outcomes are interpreted and operationalized in two national systems (Norway and England) and in contrasting disciplinary areas.
The project is supervised by prof. Bjørn Stensaker
Objectives
Due to the contested nature of Learning outcomes, and the lack of information about their application and impact on the programme and student levels, the project aims to:
Describe and compare the ways in which Learning Outcomes are being translated and applied in contrasting national and programme contexts.
Shed light on the impact and influence at the level of study programmes, in terms of course priorities and approaches to teaching and assessment, and on the student level, in terms of students’ expectations, experience and perceived outcomes.
Cooperation
Some aspects of the project and some Norwegian data collection will be linked to the Higher Education Learning Outcomes (HELO) project, a collaboration between NIFU, PFI, HiOA and the University of Bergen, funded by the Norwegian Research Council.
