• Unprecedented period of change in structure, delivery and funding across all education sectors.
• The evolving student journey and the student experience.
• Multiple paths, increasing complexity.
• Student transitions – critical to success.

The changing landscape
![Page 3: HEA CfE Tackling Transitions Events Series University of Glasgow Introduction Janet De Wilde – Assistant Director Scotland & Head of STEM Murray Hope -](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b2f4f550346d41a8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Background and progress
• Developing a ‘more flexible and enriched curriculum’ for 3-18 education.
• Underpinned by independent, outcome-based, interdisciplinary learning – ‘student-centred’.
• 2014 - first co-hort to enter ‘Senior Phase’. • Parallels with trends in HE.• Increasing divergence in approach across UK and beyond.

Curriculum for Excellence (CfE)
![Page 4: HEA CfE Tackling Transitions Events Series University of Glasgow Introduction Janet De Wilde – Assistant Director Scotland & Head of STEM Murray Hope -](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b2f4f550346d41a8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) presents an exciting new
opportunity to think about transition within a broader context.
• Practice - We have teachers who are implementing CfE within their
practice on a daily basis.
• Policies - Most HEI’s now have, or are developing strategic plans.
• Preparation – Students who have experienced CfE will be arriving
at university in 2015. What will transition mean for them?

Overview• Four capacities
• Successful learners• Confident individuals• Responsible citizens• Effective contributors
• ‘Totality of experiences’• Curriculum areas and subjects• Interdisciplinary learning• Ethos and life of the school• Opportunities for personal achievement
• ‘Subjects’ to ‘curriculum areas’

Extracts: Biology
I became more aware of the true interdisciplinary nature of CfE. ………. I
also fully appreciated the impact of probationary staff organising key
interdisciplinary events to ensure the success of such events and the removal
of interdisciplinary barriers at an early career stage

Extracts: Chemistry
Specifically for Chemistry, the advantages are……. ……..The
introduction of independent research projects……………This form of
independent work should lead to a much more confident and independent student
when placed in an undergraduate lab environment.

Extracts: Mathematics
…… the expectation of independence was indicated as one of the main
contributors to the difficulty of transition into HE
…………………………………………… CfE should provide the opportunity for more independent learning, particularly in the
Senior Phase……………………………..

HEA Scotland has developed a programme of work to explore and discuss the shifting landscape in Scottish HE and the impact on the student experience.
Progression, retention and success are key at all stages of the system.
• CfE Scholars and forthcoming subject reports.
• HEA CfE Tackling Transitions Events Series.
• HEA-NUS Scotland ‘Learner Journeys’ report.
• Embedding equality and diversity in the curriculum.
• Employability
• Further development of resources and research.9

Reports – rich text of personal reflections and insights
Events – rich dialogue inter sector discussion
Plan to have an overarching analysis.

Pulling it all together

Visits undertaken to schools May- June 2013
Aim to reflect on what impact Curriculum for Excellence will have on future delivery within the scholars’ respective discipline/subject at HE level.
Aim to have a personal reflection, drawing on their experience during the visit(s), professional experience of delivery in HE, and general knowledge of the structure, intent and direction of CfE.
