nell’ambito del Seminario su
“A learner-centered approach:
mettere l’apprendimento al centro del sistema”
a cura del Gruppo Italiano dei Bologna ExpertUniversità degli Studi di Pisa, 13 maggio 2011
sommario
• I progetti CoRe → CoRe 2
• Il Profilo del CdS (Degree Profile)
• Competenze (Cs) e Learning Outcomes (LOs)
• Regole per scrivere “buone Competenze e LOs”
• Esempi tratti dai tre cicli di Fisica
I progetti CoRe
CoRe: Nome: Competences in Education and Cross Border Recognition
Scopo: valutare l’utilità dei profili TUNING basati sulle competenze ai fini della international credential evaluation
• CoRe 1
finalizzato nel 2007
aree tematiche: History, Nursing, Chemistry, Business
• CoRe 2
finalizzato in autunno 2010
Project team: Tuning & NARICs
aree tematiche: History, Nursing, Physics
Obiettivo di CoRe 2
Dare seguito al progetto CoRe 1 È il Profilo del CdS (Degree profile) utile per la
“credential evaluation”?
Scopo principale è lo sviluppo di 3 strumenti:1. Fac-simile (Template) di Profilo del CdS (degree profile)
2. Linee guida su come scrivere competenze (competenze) e risultati (o esiti) dell’apprendimento (learning outcomes)
3. Glossario di termini

Struttura della Guida CoRe 2
• Introduction• Chapter 1: Background and Context• Chapter 2: Degree profile
• Degree profile Template• How to complete the Template
• Chapter 3: Glossary
• Annex 1 - Designing study programmes and defining its programme learning outcomes
• Annex 2 - Tuning generic competences• Annex 3 – Examples: Degree profiles for History, Nursing and Physics from the
universities of Utopia, Solaris and Galaxy
Profilo del CdS Degree profile Il Profilo del CdS descrive i tratti caratteristici del programma di studio
in termini di competenze e di Risultati dell’Apprendimento [in inglese Learning Outcomes (LOs) ]
Può essere:• Un documento a sè stante, per es.
Nel catalogo dei CdS di una data Istituzione di Formazione Superiore Come facilitatore per trovare un impiego appropriato o per continuare
negli studi • una parte del Diploma Supplement (al punto 4.2), così giocando un ruolo
importante nelle procedure di riconoscimento
Quindi fa il servizio di uno strumento di transparenza, comunicazione ed innovazione
Non deve essere più lungo di due pagine; deve potersi leggere in 5 minuti Dovrebbe dare un chiara idea del programma di studio a:
credential evaluators, admissions officers, recruiters, employers, potential students and potential partner institutions;
Non è stato disegnato ai fini dell’accreditamento o per soddisfare a vincoli (nazionali) di regolamenti/autorità competenti.
Degree profile TEMPLATE il “TEMPLATE “ contiene
UN CAMPO INIZIALE
6 SEZIONI
A. Purpose - Scopo del CdS

I RISULTATI DELL’APPRENDIMENTO
(in inglese LEARNING OUTCOMES) :
NB - sono formulati dai docenti responsabili “ex ante”
• specificano cosa lo studente dovrebbe conoscere, comprendere ed essere
in grado di fare al termine di un processo di apprendimento;
• si riferiscono ad un singolo insegnamento (o unità didattica o modulo)
oppure ad un intero corso di studio, ad esempio un corso di primo o
secondo ciclo.
• specificano i requisiti necessari per l’acquisizione dei crediti (da parte degli
studenti).
Concetti base della metodologia Tuning - 1
14
Le competenze:
NB - sono acquisite dagli studenti alla fine del percorso (ex post)
• rappresentano una combinazione dinamica di conoscenze, comprensione
ed abilità;
• possono essere generali (o trasversali) o specifiche della disciplina;
• si sviluppano in varie unità didattiche (insegnamenti) e si valutano a
tempi diversi;
• la loro acquisizione costituisce l’obiettivo dei corsi di studio.

Competences and Learning Outcomes CoRe2 - precisazioni
una competenza: Appartiene a ed è sviluppata dallo studente; Riguarda comprovata conoscenza, comprensione, competenze (specifiche
dell’area tematica e trasversali), abilità, attitudini e valori (etici); Si costruisce in maniera cumulativa nel CdS ed attraverso i cicli successivi Dovrebbe informare sul contesto in cui la competenza viene applicata; (simile a ciò che si richiede in una breve descrizione di una opportunità di
lavoro)
Un risultato dell’apprendimento (Learning Outcome) è: Una frase più lunga che descrive un risultato misurabile di un processo di
apprendimento; Una espressione del grado di estensione/livello/standard della competenza;
e Non una proprietà dello studente, ma un mezzo per le istituzioni di
formazione superiore di misurare se gli studenti hanno sviluppato le loro competenze al livello richiesto.

complete list of programme learning outcomes
1. Ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of physics fundamentals in: classical mechanics, vibrations and waves, acoustics, optics and spectroscopy, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, quantum physics. The level of this knowledge of core physics is a basic one, i.e. the level needed for working with established areas of applications but not as high as is needed for research at the frontiers of knowledge.
2. Ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of mathematics relevant for physics at a basic level, i.e. differential and integral calculus, algebra, analytic functions of real and complex variables, vectors and matrices, vector calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations, statistics, Fourier methods and – furthermore –capability of using such tools in physics applications.
