Enhancing Learning Outcomes in Higher Education - 2023 Symposium

‘Worldwide, higher education is being transformed, whereby long-established traditions in learning and teaching are challenged by a complex of often competing strands of influences. As part of this flux, in many western and many western-influenced countries, higher education has undergone a transformative philosophical shift, resulting in institutions in higher education becoming increasingly corporatised. One result of this shift has been a change in emphasis from the education processes toward perceiving education as more of a measurable product. One commensurate focus of that product lies in the anticipated student learning outcomes [Harden, 2002, p. 151], which are increasingly aligned to the broader university achievement measures, namely graduate attributes. Under this scenario, learning outcomes represent a sea change in higher education philosophy, whereby quality measurements, as determined through assessment processes, are increasingly foregrounded’.
