The 2008 EQF recommendation defines learning outcomes as ‘…statements of what an individual should know, understand and/or be able to do at the end of a learning process’. The learning outcomes perspective is used for a number of different purposes, the most important being:

  • Qualifications frameworks and their level descriptors

  • Qualification standards

  • Curriculum development

  • Assessment and validation

  • Quality assurance

  • Teaching and training

For all these purposes the learning outcomes approach strengthens the focus on the individual learner and the level of knowledge, skills and competence s/he is expected to achieve. This balances a traditional focus on education and training input, notably on duration and location of learning.

1.1 - Entrepreneurship education

Abstract

A Quality Manager needs to have a clear idea about what entrepreneurship is in Europe, as there is no international consensus about its definition and there is still no consensus about what the distinctive elements of entrepreneurship as a competence are.

The Entrepreneurship Competence Framework (JRC, 2016) defines entrepreneurship as “Entrepreneurship is when you act upon opportunities and ideas and transform them into value for others. The value that is created can be financial, cultural, or social” (FFE – YE, 2012).
