Further Development

 The 21st century EFL writing classroom continues to transform from one that focuses on the building blocks of being able to write, to one that is characterised by a view that writing is digitally-informed and led. This paper synthesises research that documents the perceived gains of using digital tools to, on the one hand, improve students’ foundational literacies in English writing, and on the other hand, to develop ‘new’ digitally oriented literacies that exist and arise from the use of these tools. The focus of the synthesis is on member countries that are included in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) initiative. The paper presents a systematic review of  studies in international and local journals from 2000 - 2020.  The review provides an overview of the foci of the studies, the types of writing, tasks and technologies being used, the approaches taken to evaluate and provide feedback on students’ writing, and the influence digital literacies may have on fostering these foundational literacies. The paper concludes by considering gaps in the EHEA landscape and offers recommendations for further development.

En este trabajo se describe la evolución del proceso de convergencia europea en materia de educación superior, denominado 'Proceso de Bolonia", desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad, tras la última Conferencia Ministerial, celebrada en Londres en mayo de 2007. Asimismo, se resume el proceso seguido en España para su adaptación al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), con referencia a la normativa que ha ido aprobándose a lo largo del mismo. Por último, se recoge un ejemplo concreto de adaptación a la convergencia europea, como es el referido a los estudios de carácter económico-empresarial.<br /><br />The present paper offers a description of the evolution of the so called 'Bologna Process" of European convergence in the area of Higher Education from its origins to the present moment, after the last Ministerial conference held in London in May 2007. At the same time the process followed in Spain for its adaptation to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), with reference to the legislation which has been passed along its development is summed up. Eventually an specific example of adaptation to the European convergence is given; that is the one referred to the field of business and economic studies.

Craft Guilds

This work aims to carry out a comparative study between the apprenticeship system in the craft guilds in preindustrial Europe and the educational methods used in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), with the aim of highlighting the role, within the field of engineering education in the EHEA, of the practice-driven approach (learning by doing), which yielded excellent results during centuries to craft guilds, since their institutionalized apprenticeship system was one of the reasons for their long-term survival. The transmission of technical skills and associated innovation were effectively supported by craft guilds but not as a main objective and even, sometimes, as a cause of undesired effects (formation of future competitors, revelation of secrets or shift of control over the production process from the owners of skills to the owners of capital. It has been demonstrated that both the organizational modalities or scenarios and the educational methods of the EHEA (except the binomial scenario-method formed by the theoretical class and the master lecture) used in engineering education, have a clear precedent in the preindustrial craft guilds, which emphasize the learning process instead of the teaching process and established, several centuries in advance and without intending to, a model for the EHEA.

Common Understanding

The paradigm shift in higher education pedagogy and policy has been a subject of discussion for 30 years, during which time the emphasis has been placed on the transition to student-centred education. The implementation of this approach requires the democratisation of the study process and a shift towards performance-based outcomes, thus promoting students’ research capacities, well-being, personal growth, and quality of life. The most important document on the subject, which was developed in collaboration with the leading organisations of the Bologna Process, is the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area. This describes the common understanding of student-centred learning, teaching, and assessment. The standards and guidelines are also incorporated into the Latvian higher education quality assurance regulations. The authors of the present study are involved in the development and approbation of a new master’s study program, in which special attention is paid to the implementation of the principles of student-centred education. The central aim of the present study was to study the experience of lecturers in the implementation of the principles of student-centred education in the programme. The relevant literature and documents were surveyed and data from questionnaires (distributed to programme participants) were analysed. Using the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area and the Science, Technology Development and Innovation Guidelines 2021−2027 approved by the Latvian Ministry of Education and Science, the present study sets out 10 basic principles of student-centred education. A survey was created for lecturers who are implementing the newly created master’s programme over one semester. Seventeen lecturers participated. The analysis of the questionnaire results indicated that promoting mutual respect in student−academic staff relations and students’ active engagement in the study process were considered to be the most important principles. The results also revealed that lecturers applied every student−centred principle, but it is necessary to promote a common understanding by developing a mechanism for evaluating them and to improve the competence of teachers in implementing them.
