Dr. Andrew Kitchenham
Department of Education
Andrew Kitchenham uses two different formats of learning outcomes in the Bachelor of Education program: one format supports the teacher regulation branch; the other aligns with Ministry of Education regulations. By articulating learning outcomes in common language at the beginning of each course, students know that the course supports a standard they will be measured by later on.
The key to learning outcomes is understanding the relationship between outcomes and assessment with pedagogy in between the two. At the end of the course, what should the students know? What is the purpose of an outcome to help design curriculum?
