Formal, informal, nonformal learning formal learning Learning that occurs in an organised and structured environment (in a school/training centre or on the job) and is explicitly designated as learning (in terms of objectives, time or resources). Formal learning is intentional from the learner s point of view. It typically leads to certification. informal learning Learning resulting from daily activities related to work, family or leisure. It is not organised or structured in terms of objectives, time or learning support. Informal learning is in most cases unintentional from the learner s perspective. It typically does not lead to certification. non formal learning Learning which is embedded in planned activities not explicitly designated as learning (in terms of learning objectives, learning time or learning support), but which contain an important learning element. Non-formal learning is intentional from the learner s point of view. It normally does not lead to certification. 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 4
Work Based Learning Work based learning is an educational and training approach in which competence development is given a central position, and in which formal learning, informal learning and nonformal learning complement each other in progress toward formal recognised and accredited by the HET. 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 5
WBL cont. Work based learning is an experiencecentred teaching and learning approach in which the learner develops competencies in the workplace[1] and because of the workplace. The learner develops a theoretical, (applied) scientific project, which is essential and relevant for practical study and work environments. 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 6
TUNING METHODOLOGY: learning outcomes and competences General tendencies in higher education: Shift of paradigm: moving from a staff oriented approach to a student centred approach Less specialised academic education in the first cycle More flexibility in first and second cycle programmes What should a student know, understand and be able to do to be employable? Management Committee 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 7
The Tuning Methodology Line 1: Generic competences Consultation with graduates, employers and academics on the importance of 30 generic competences and an evaluation of how well HE institutions develop them. Line 2: Subject specific competences (knowledge, understanding and skills) Mapping of subject areas and development of common reference points and subject specific competences of each of the pilot disciplines. Line 3: ECTS as a European credit accumulation system: new perspectives Development of ECTS as a tool for programme design: basis is student workload measured in time. Line 4: Mapping of approaches to teaching / learning and assessment in different countries Line 5: Quality enhancement Management Committee 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 8
Why Focus on competences? 1. Further transparency of professional profiles in study programmes and emphasis on learning outcomes 2. Shift to a more learner oriented approach to education 3. Growing demands of a lifelong learning society which requires more flexibility 4. Need for higher levels of employability and citizenship 5. Enhancement of the European dimension of Higher Education 6. Need for a shared language for consultation with all stakeholders 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 9 Management Committee

Tuning definitions How are competences and learning outcomes related? Learning outcomes according to Tuning methodology should be formulated in terms of competences. Learning outcomes are minimum requirements of a unit or a programmes and are expressed in terms what the learner knows and is able to do at the end of the learning experience. Competences may be developed to a greater degree than the level required by the learning outcome. Management Committee 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 17

Miksi pitää tunnustaa ja tunnistaa Werquin/OECD todella pitkä lista jo eilen Lainsäädäntö muualla - esim q Ranskassa v. 2002 kansalaisoikeus saada osaamistaan validoitua ja mahdollisuus suorittaa puuttuvat osat kaikilla koulutustasoilla q Belgia/(Flaami) samankaltainen tuore lainsäädäntö q IsoBrittannia WBL ulottuu myös tohtoritasolle, pitkä tradiitio 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 19
Muita syitä miksi tunnistaa - tunnustaa Maahanmuutajien järkevä integroituminen q Irlannin esim. eilen puolustaa entisesstään sitä näkökulmaa Jatkuvan oppimisen strategiana q Heille jotka vaihtavat joutuvat vaihtamaan alaa q Uudet työtehtävät joista tänään emme edes tiedä q Muodollisesti epäpätevät opettajat isona ryhmänä q Luoda jatkuvaa yhteistyöverkosta alumnien kautta Tuo myös työelämäkontakteja, tutkimuspintaa ja aiheita sekä rahaa tutkimukseen kuten myös korkeakouluille ja yliopistoille opiskelijoiden että tutkimusten muodossa 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 20
Miksi WBL myös korkeakouluissa? Suomi tarvitsee osaamista, korkea koulutustaso ei riitä tarpeeksi pitkälle, osaamista on uusiutuva luonnonvara Esim. EQF laittaa monet muutkin koulutusohjelmat järjestelmään vähintäin yhtä vaativina Valttina kyky oppia ja opettaa - research and development opiskelijoille ja työelämälle WIN-WIN opiskelijalle, YO-lle ja työnantajalle 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 21
Esimerkkejä Lillen yliopisto (Ranska) on jo 10 v ajan tehnyt insinööritasolla pitkää kehittelytyötä suoraan suurien yritysten kanssa esim Renault jossa nostetaan teknikoista insinööritasolle, työelämän painotteinen Fachhochschule Aachen (Saksa) aloittamassa siviili insinööri ohjelmaa aluepoliittisista syistä takaamaan osaavaa työvoimaa alueellaan (kolmas tehtävä) 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 22
WBL programme structures Student experience including knowledge, skills and attitudes + personal perspectives, values and understandings Tertiary education including the academic process and possibility to help the learner be shape, develop and be ware of his/her competences WBL the physical context where tutors/mentors help learner to reflect on the learning process.

Structures of WBL programmes Key Point What is missing Gives us a task for fantasy and imagination To look for evident strategies and solutions both inside the HET and outside Must have defined the outcomes and qualifications in order to benchmark, test, assess and validate former learning Programmes must reflect all these aspects and build pathways to respond on those 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 30
Minkälainen valmius? Bologna vaatii meiltä kompetenssien määrittelyn Uusi versio Lissabonin strategiasta tule panostamaan siihen entistä enemmän Suomi juuri saanut ensimmäiset ohjeet tunnistamiselle ja tunnustamiselle korkeakouluissa parasta aikaa lausuntokierroksella, ei niin hyvä kuin Ranskan ja Belgian mutta ei rajoitakaan 27.2.2007 Uffe Wikström, ulf.wikstrom@abo.fi 31
