| Detail: |
What constitutes quality in Higher Education can be, and has been, debated for a long time. In this seminar high educational quality will be equalized with that students really achieve the intended learning outcomes of the educational program they take part in, and that students not only know things by then, but also know, what to do and how to solve real life problems. A move from knowledge based to competence based HE.
This is in line with the extensive change process that has taken place within HE in Europe since about ten years, the Bologna process, and promoting student centred as opposed to teacher driven teaching and learning (SCL). The seminar will discuss the key components of SCL and how these can be tied to QA processes that are also designed to support faculty in their work when teaching and planning teaching.
