Learning outcomes
If you don’t know where you’re going,
You’ll probably end up somewhere else.
(Campbell 1984)

Context of the Workshop

What are learning outcomes?
• An outcome is simply a result or consequence of an action or process
• A learning outcome is what results from a learning process
• Intended learning outcomes are statements that predict what learners will have gained as a result of learning
(Higher Education Academy)

Outcomes Model
Explicit statement of
learning intent
Enabling processes and
resources
Assessment criteria for
achievement
Feedback loop

So for today…
AimsThis session aims to:
– Help you to reconsider your course design, and whether you have ‘got the basics right’ in terms of assessment
Intended learning outcomes (ILO)By the end of this course you should be able to:
– Write explicit learning outcomes– Design a course that is ‘constructively aligned’

Aims and learning outcomes
• Aims are written in terms of lecturer intention
• Learning outcomes are written in terms of student capability
![Page 9: Module design Setting aims and learning outcomes Dr. John Milliken School of Education Queens University Belfast.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add00c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What to consider in designing a module: constructive alignment
1. Who are my students?2. What are my aims/learning outcomes?3. What outcomes do I hope students will
achieve?4. What do I want to assess?5. How do I want to assess my students?6. What segments of content do I think are
essential building blocks for students7. What teaching and learning strategies do I
want to use?8. In what mode(s) will I deliver the course?

Writing learning outcomes
• Aims– Know– Understand– Determine– Appreciate– Grasp– Become familiar
• Outcomes– Outline– Distinguish between– Choose– Assemble– Identify– Solve– Apply– Describe– Analyse– Synthesise
![Page 19: Module design Setting aims and learning outcomes Dr. John Milliken School of Education Queens University Belfast.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add00c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SOLO verbs
• Minimal understanding – sufficient to deal with basic terminology – memorise, identify, recognise.
• Descriptive understanding – knowing about several topics – classify, describe, list
• Integrative understanding – relating facts together and understanding basis theory – apply to known contexts – integrate,
![Page 20: Module design Setting aims and learning outcomes Dr. John Milliken School of Education Queens University Belfast.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add00c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
‘If students are to learn desired outcomes in a reasonably effective manner, then the teacher’s fundamental task is to get students to engage in learning activities that are likely to result in their achieving those outcomes’ (Schuell, 1986)
![Page 21: Module design Setting aims and learning outcomes Dr. John Milliken School of Education Queens University Belfast.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add00c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Some examples
By the end of the module colleagues should be able to:
1. Plan and structure teaching sessions for effective student learning
2. Apply appropriate teaching strategies and technologies as appropriate
3. Present content in clear language and stimulating ways
![Page 22: Module design Setting aims and learning outcomes Dr. John Milliken School of Education Queens University Belfast.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649de55503460f94add00c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Writing learning outcomes
We recommend that you aim for between four and eight learning outcomes for each of your single modules, and up to twenty-five outcomes for an entire programme. Start programme outcomes with the phrase:‘A successful learner from this programme will be able to …’Start module outcomes with the phrase: ‘On successful completion of the module, you will be able to …’

Examples
• Knowledge & understanding skills (Blooms)
• Intellectual skills (Blooms)
• Practical skills (subject specific)
• Key/transferable (generic)

Linking outcomes to assessment
• Assessment tasks should fulfil module outcomes
• One-to-one criterion for each outcome
• Multi criterion for each outcome
• Regular reference to module outcomes
