The purpose of this article is to explore the development of qualifications frameworks as a key element in the Bologna Process, which aims to develop a European Higher Education Area by 2010. By setting up descriptors of learning outcomes, a European qualifications framework is intended as an instrument that enables Europe to coordinate and exchange qualifications. Furthermore, the article analyses the proposal of a national qualifications framework in Norway and institutional responses to it. Despite general support for the idea of a framework, the analysis shows that the institutions question the possibility of a qualifications framework that fits all types of educational programmes.With reference to curriculum theory the article concludes that the idea of a qualifications framework based on measurable learning outcomes represents a turn towards an instrumental curriculum approach in higher education, in contrast to a traditional curriculum approach which foregrounds disciplinary content and its mastery. Drawing on institutional theory the article also questions the possible impact of qualifications frameworks in higher education.

Learning outcomes and their integration into the Slovenian higher education area. The authors discuss the concept of learning outcome and critically evaluate its definition, translation into the Slovenian language and its implications for curriculum planning in (higher) education. Methodologically, the article is the impact analysis of the process of Europeanisation on the conceptualisation of learning outcomes in European (higher) education. More precisely, it evaluates the impact of the European Qualifications Framework and A Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area on the contemporary understanding of learning outcomes.

This chapter introduces and describes an innovative model for a thorough, organized and systematic analysis of the educational context – the MICRA model (model for identifying and classifying Competencies and Learning Outcomes), based on the official documents of the Course Units (syllabus and assessment components). The MICRA model was validated by means of a case study. Competencies and Learning Outcomes were identified in the Computer Science Course Units of the Accounting and Business Administration degree at the Institute of Accounting and Administration of Porto (ISCAP/IPP).We are aware that the adoption of this model by different institutions will contribute to the interoperability of learning outcomes, thus enhancing the mobility of teachers and students in the EHEA (European Higher Education Area) and third countries.

Resumen: El modelo de evaluación centrado en la adquisición de competencias genéricas y específicas representa uno de los cambios más significativos del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. El profesorado universitario se enfrenta con un conjunto de competencias, excesivamente amplio, cuya definición entiende con dificultades, pidiéndosele al tiempo que diseñe aquellas metodologías docentes, actividades formativas y sistemas de evaluación que posibiliten a los alumnos la adquisición de tales competencias, en los denominados resultados de aprendizaje.   Este estudio tiene como objetivo prioritario el tratar de determinar cómo han de valorarse y evaluarse las competencias adquiridas por los alumnos en titulaciones jurídico-laborales. Y, más específicamente a dilucidar si los resultados conseguidos en los últimos años, con la modificación de las metodologías docentes y los sistemas de evaluación han sido realmente tan eficaces como se esperaba.Abstract: The evaluation model focused on the acquisition of generic and specific skills represents one of the most significant changes in the European Higher Education Area. The university faculty is faced with a set of competencies, excessively broad, whose definition understands with difficulties, asking at the same time to design those methodologies, technologies and means of evaluation that enable students to acquire such skills in the so-called learning outcomes.  This study has as a priority objective to try to determine how the skills acquired by students in legal-labor qualifications should be assessed. And, more specifically to elucidate whether the results achieved in a few years with the modification of teaching methodologies have been really as positive as expected.

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. Keywords: Craft guilds; Apprenticeship; Learning by doing; Engineering education; EEES
