OUR “LEARNING OUTCOMES”
• To be able to describe what “learning outcomes” are
• To be able to discuss why they matter
• To be able to assess the Lumina Degree Qualifications Profile• How was it developed?• How is it organized?• How useful is it—especially for
students?

EFFECTIVE LEARNING OUTCOMES
• Focus on learning priorities• Focus on results—ends, not means• Define the expected baseline• Explain the usefulness of the
assignment, class, etc.• Support and invite assessment
9
![Page 10: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
COMMUNICATED TO THE STUDENT, EFFECTIVE LEARNING OUTCOMES• Explain what the learner will be able to
do in order to demonstrate achievement of the outcomes
• Explain why the demonstrated outcomes are indicative and important
• Explain how the accomplishment of the outcomes will be assessed—and what the significance of that assessment will be for the student

Having completed Italian 101-102• You will be able to order a meal, purchase a
railway ticket, ask (or give) directions, introduce yourself, inquire about a concert, seek assistance in an emergency, discuss the headlines, and understand simple communications—in Italian, with confidence.
• You will demonstrate this ability through simulated situations requiring your use of Italian.
• You ability to manage basis communications in Italian will indicate your having achieved the essential priorities of this course and will assure a passing grade.

Why do learning outcomes matter—
To teachers?To colleges?To funding sources?
And—most especially—to students?
15
![Page 16: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Teachers
• Frame learning priorities to reflect programmatic and institutional expectations
• Align methods to reflect the learning capacities of students
• Organize a class or course to ensure learning outcomes are accomplished
16
![Page 17: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Colleges
• Define for prospective and enrolled students both essential and distinctive outcomes
• Clarify priorities that bear on decisions concerning budget, staffing, facilities
• Justify the effective use of resources
17
![Page 18: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Funding sources (donors, legislators, parents, etc.)
• Can seek accountability relative to a balance between what is invested and what is accomplished
• Can undertake discussions concerning alignment of expressed outcomes with current or emerging priorities
• Can assess the adequacy of investment 18

1Middle and high school advisors can use a statement of learning outcomes (such as the Degree Qualifications Profile) in working with students and parents to ensure that high school curricular choices offer adequate preparation for college.
![Page 21: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

High school teachers can organize their courses with reference to a statement of learning outcomes (such as the Degree Qualifications Profile) to ensure adequate preparation of students for college – thereby reducing the remedial burden for institutions.
![Page 22: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

3A statement of learning outcomes (such as the Degree Qualifications Profile) can give high school students a way to evaluate the competitive claims of colleges and universities with respect to a widely shared commitment to essential competencies.
![Page 23: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Pedagogy by PlatoStudents who understand what they are expected to learn are more efficient, more effective, more enthusiastic students.
![Page 25: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The [allegory of the] cave poignantly illustrates that education is not only progressive in terms of the complexity and accuracy of the material studied (progressing from vague representations of the real to the real itself) but also progressive in terms of the students' attitude towards it. . . . Through the process of education, the student not only learns progressively but also loves learning progressively.

6When learning outcomes are clearly stated and the curriculum is coherent and cumulative, students will be empowered to question curricular requirements that do not address such objectives—
![Page 27: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
–and colleges and universities will embrace the challenge of articulating their requirements, structures, and standards more clearly and persuasively.

In sum?
Now, more than ever, we need a common understanding of the learning and skills represented by a degree.

An Overview of the Degree Profile
![Page 47: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Why a Degree Profile?• The DP “describes concretely what is
meant by each of the degrees addressed.”
• The DP is neither an attempt to standardize degrees nor an effort to define what should be taught or how.
• The DP “illustrates how students should be expected to perform at progressively more challenging levels.”
![Page 48: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Guidelines for understanding the outcomes They are summative—and may be
approached by more than one path
They are illustrative, not exhaustive
They define students’ achievement of competence for students but do not “rank” them
All degree levels assume/build on the outcomes defined for prior levels
![Page 50: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

“Ratcheting Up”Associate’s Level: The student presents substantially error-free prose in both argumentative and narrative forms to general and specialized audiencesBachelor’s Level: The student constructs sustained, coherent arguments and/or narratives and/or explications of technical issues and processes, in two media, to general and specialized audiences Master’s Level: The student creates sustained, coherent arguments or explanations and reflections on his or her work or that of collaborators (if applicable) in two or more media or languages, to both general and specialized audiences

Another Example: Engaging Diverse Perspectives
![Page 52: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Engaging diverse perspectivesAt the associate level, the student describes how knowledge from different cultural perspectives would affect his or her interpretations of prominent problems in politics, society, the arts and/or global relations.
✔A basic informed application
52
![Page 53: 11 Intending Learning Learning by Intent Why Learning Outcomes Matter H. Kent Weldon Annual Conference For Higher Education April 15, 2011](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032806/56649f085503460f94c1d4d0/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Engaging diverse perspectivesAt the bachelor’s level, the student constructs a cultural, political, or technological alternative vision of either the natural or human world, embodied in a written project, laboratory report, exhibit, performance, or community service design; defines the distinct patterns in this alternative vision; and explains how they differ from current realities.
