About this Book

"This booklet draws on the ongoing shift to learning outcomes in European education and training policies and practices. It focuses on the conceptual basis and developmental main trends of the learning outcomes approach in the 32 European countries participating in the Education and training 2010 programme. The text which is based on the comparative study conducted by Cedefop in 2007, covers developments in general education, vocational education and training, and higher education. The lines of research are: (a) conceptual clarification of learning outcomes; (b) learning outcomes as an aspect of policy reform at national, local and institutional levels; (c) the learning outcomes as a component of modernising education and training systems."--Ed.
