Learning Outcomes

Posted on 14th May 201127th August 2018 By Leo Casey No Comments on Learning Outcomes

Where we find learning outcomes

All learning outcomes are descriptive, they are attempts to capture in a series of statements the results and consequences of instruction or experience.
For anyone taking on a course of study, particularly a third level course, they are likely to want access to a description of that course and the modules associated with it. 

A key part of any such course or module description will be a series of statements that define the purpose and intent of the learning involved – these are known as the “Learning Outcomes”.
Learning outcomes can be defined at all levels of course participation:

  • Programme Level Learning Outcomes are statements that describe the range, depth and kind of knowledge and competence expected of a student on completion of an entire programme such as a degree or a diploma.
  • Module Level Learning Outcomes are statements that describe the knowledge and competence expected by the student on completion of a particular module or subject area within a programme.
  • Class Level Learning Outcomes are indications of what is expected to be achieved by the students on completion of a specific class or tutorial session.
