Good learning outcome

In the forum of 'Assessment and Evaluation in Tertiary Teaching' unit, we discussed that assessment is learning fundamental and thus assessment should be well connected with learning outcomes.

'Using eVALUate to improve student learning' (Curtin University of Technology, Oliver et al.) is showing some examples of how good unit learning outcomes might be expressed. I think this is very useuful.

Successful students in this unit can:

•

Construct and justify logical arguments about [a significant issue in the field].

•

Critically analyse [a significant issue in the field].

•

Conduct a critical review of [a significant issue in the field].

•

Produce a [significant document] at a level acceptable to [stakeholders in the field].

•

Collaborate with [stakeholders or peers] in the successful production of a [significant

document]

•

Plan and carry out a [significant event] for [stakeholders in the field].

•

Use [discipline resources] to effectively [manage a discipline-related problem].

•

Evaluate [a scenario in the field] and produce [a significant report]• Work effectively as a team member to solve [a significant problem in the field].

- Use

[a discipline-related] theory to develop a solution to [a significant problem] within thecontext of discipline.
