Educators’ guide for pedagogy and assessment : using a learning outcomes approach : ethics

Abstract

This document, which is aimed at policy makers, educators and teachers in the classroom, presents the Learning and Assessment Programme (LAP) for Ethics.

The LAP comprises:

• The Learning Outcomes Framework (LOF) - this encompasses a set of subject learning outcomes (SLOs) that set out what a learner is expected to know, understand or be able to do as a result of a process of learning. These learning outcomes are designed to be used in a range of delivery contexts and taught using different methods. They state the end result rather than describe the learning process or the learning activities.

• Notes on Pedagogy and Assessment - the learning outcomes are written in a way that informs pedagogy and, in conjunction with the assessment strategies related to each outcome, set a clear assessment expectation. This document sets down good practice teaching and assessment guidelines which educators may wish to take on board and adapt to meet the needs of their learners.
