LEARNING OUTCOMES

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning outcomes are the combination of knowledge, skills and competencies that describe what the student is expected, and is able, to know, understand, apply and demonstrate at the end of each subject and the curriculum.

Learning outcomes should be specific, assessable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. It is necessary to choose an active verb that is capable of describing, with decision and clarity, the learning outcomes, so that they are observable and measurable.
