Line 1: Creation and Use of Regional Subject-Specific Qualifications and Assessment Reference Frameworks  to Permit Greater Comparability of Institutional Degree Programme Profiles

Line 1 of work focused on the development and validation of Regional Subject-Specific Qualifications and Assessment Reference Frameworks for (1) Civil Engineering, (2) Medicine and (3) Teacher Education.

These Frameworks are the first Recognition Mechanism created by the CALOHEA project in order to facilitate recognition of degrees and periods of studies both within the ASEAN region and between the ASEAN region and other world regions.

Line 2: Instalment of the Culture of Student Workload Measurement as an Integral Part of Curriculum Design

Line 2 of work focused on engaging different stakeholders in estimating and discussing student workload associated with different programme components, with the bigger aims of

  1. Improving recognition and quality of higher education programmes and courses based on the analysis of the data collected through different tools for measuring student workload and
  2. Contributing to an ASEAN-level discussion in order to promote the use of student workload as a basis for a more coherent regional recognition system

At programme and institutional level, the results sought and achieved consist in changing mindsets of key stakeholders, changing course & curriculum design and implementation practices and changing institutional policies to firmly include student workload monitoring into day-to-day practice.

At the level of the project, the lessons learned have been summarised in the “Guidelines for bridging South East Asian Student Workload with other contexts” document that includes recommendations at country and subject-area level about the necessary steps and best practices for the Instalment of the Culture of Student Workload Measurement as an Integral Part of Curriculum Design and Internationalisation and Recognition efforts.

Line 3: Implementation of Authentic Assessment of Internationally Comparable Learning Outcomes in Degree Programmes

Line 3 of work focused on the implementation of Authentic Assessment for learning outcomes in the three subject areas of (1) Civil Engineering, (2) Medicine and (3) Teacher Education.

Every CALOHEA Team has developed and implemented an Action Plan to move towards full implementation of authentic assessment of programme learning outcomes. Examples of authentic assessment tasks and ways to encourage faculty members to embrace authentic assessment have been shared within and beyond the project consortium during the project general and national capacity building events.

Each Subject Area Group has also created a compilation of Inspirational examples of authentic assessment of programme learning outcomes:

  • Inspirational examples of authentic assessment of programme learning outcomes in CIVIL ENGINEERING (Download)
  • Inspirational examples of authentic assessment of programme learning outcomes in MEDICINE (Download)
  • Inspirational examples of authentic assessment of programme learning outcomes in TEACHER EDUCATION (Download)
