| Summary: |
Building on the work that has been established in Latin America and beyond, the proposed project intends to fill the gap between theoretical models and educational practice. To this purpose it will develop through a grass root approach implementation structures, models and examples of good practice for staff development, which can be tailored to national and institutional needs. These should be applicable throughout the Higher Education sector. Four subject areas have been selected to take the lead, covering as many academic sectors: Environmental Engineering, Education Sciences / Teacher Training, Nursing and History. These fit the new priorities that have been identified for Latin America with regard to Capacity Building projects in December 2017. In the framework of the project transnational working groups will be set up to develop best strategies for staff development for the (re-) design, the implementation and evaluation of individual degree programmes. It will also describe examples of good practice for developing the different competence clusters as described in the Latin America meta-profiles. Use will also be made of the outcomes of the sophisticated project Measuring and Comparing Achievements of the Learning Outcomes in Europe (CALOHEE) (2016-2018) that defined Assessment Frameworks and student-centred based examples of good practice for learning, teaching and assessment. |
