Competences: the case for JISC
Download as ODP, PDF0 likes483 views
The document discusses the importance of establishing competencies in educational frameworks, focusing on how learners can track their progress and transfer skills between institutions. It highlights the collaboration between higher education institutions, professional bodies, and employers to create a coherent framework that supports personal and professional development. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for interoperable systems that facilitate learner mobility and the integration of various competency models.
Competences: the case for JISC
- 1. The case for competences Simon Grant 2009-04-29
- 2. Known motivators Learners keeping track of learning Learners transferring between institutions Learners having summary of what they have learned HEIs producing useful HEAR, DS, transcript HEIs preparing students for next steps F/HEIs collaborating in educational ventures HEIs broadening course intake, opening up pathways Professional bodies setting learning agenda Employers engaging with HE, if skills are relevant
- 3. Common points: intersect how? Personal development – planning goals Education – learning outcomes Assessment – criteria Reporting – HEAR, DS, etc. possibilities For courses, jobs, memberships – requirements Career, professional development – skills, competence including the NOSs of the SSCs
- 4. Technical openings HEAR Europass – Learner Mobility documents (incl. DS) XCRI and (closely related European) MLO LEAP2A We are closely involved in all of the above Some others not so close, e.g. HR-XML The idea would be to coordinate with all, not build in (IEEE RCD is known, but far from a full solution) Focus on interrelationships across frameworks
- 5. Evidence of interest CEN European Learner Mobility discussion setting up SIG for competence PIOP projects final reports Medical education interest Leeds, ALPS CETL Scottish NHS e-portfolio seems like all others spoken with have active interest JISC projects past e.g. ioNW2 present e.g. SRC
- 6. Work ideas already on agenda PIOP / LEAP2A work identified but this should not be seen in isolation plausible links to several other activities (indeed, that's the main point of new focus on competence) Multipurpose meeting probably July 1st use example of medical education requirements look at tool capabilities serves LEAP2A extension but also may identify other needs
- 7. Describe What are the findings of other studies / reports? Can they be brought together in a framework relevant to JISC purposes? What common domain model of skill/competence would work across all the relevant areas in several domains? What features are needed? What distinctions between what aspects of competence? How do frameworks need to be cross-linked? How can we maximise the potential to establish equivalence across frameworks?
- 8. Create Interoperable frameworks of competence suitable for portfolio tools Information model Experimental specification Coordinated with LEAP2A but not part of it Aim to allow tools simple plug-in of frameworks Start with real requirements of medical education Demonstrator tools for managing equivalences Demonstrator tools for pathway discovery
