Tuning-CALOHEE Assessment Reference Frameworks for Civil Engineering Teacher Education History Nursing Physics

Abstract

This publication offers key outcomes of the feasibility study Measuring and Comparing Achievements ofLearning Outcomes in Higher Education in Europe (CALOHEE). CALOHEE builds on the experience of theTuning Educational Structures in Europe initiative, which was launched in 2000 to give academics a voice and provide the instruments for implementing the action points outlined in the Bologna Declaration (1999). The aim of Tuning was (and is) twofold: (a) to define an approach / a methodology to reform higher education degree programmes on the basis of the student-centred approach to better meet the needs of society, respecting at the same time academic standards and (b) to offer internationally agreed reference points to allow for comparison of degree programmes at (inter)national level. These reference points are essential for student mobility, in terms of both credit mobility and recognition of periods of studies and full degrees.
