Specific Compentencies

The project has come up with substantive and helpful definitions of these concepts. Thus it defines "learning outcomes" as "statements of what a learner is expected to know, understand and/or be able to demonstrate after completion of learning. Learning outcomes specify the requirements for award of credit" (Tuning 2007, p. 3). "Competences"' are defined as "a dynamic combination of knowledge, understanding, skills, and abilities. Fostering competences is the object of educational programmes. Competences will be formed in various course units and assessed at different stages."
