What is the objective of this tool?
- This tool can support you in defining the learning outcomes intended within your circular capacity building activity.
- What do you expect your target group to know at this end of the activity? What skills and competences should they then master?
Key concepts
Learning outcomes: means statements of what a learner knows, understands and is able to do on completion of a learning process, which are defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence.
Knowledge: means the outcome of the assimilation of information through learning. Knowledge is the body of facts, principles, theories and practices that is related to a field of work or study.
Skills : means the ability to apply knowledge and use know-how to complete tasks and solve problems. Skills are described as cognitive or practical.
Competence: means the proven ability to use knowledge, skills and personal, social and/or methodological abilities, in work or study situations and in professional and personal development.
Circular literacy: transitioning to circular cities require a complex set of distinct knowledge, skills and competences. We call this interconnected set of competences Circular literacy.
When developing your capacity building programme you may only focus on one or two sets of distinct competences. Try however to keep in mind the big picture of the transition happening.
How to use this tool?
- Understand how to link learning outcomes with knowledge, skills competences
- Brainstorm on key learning outcomes and associated competences
- Develop a preliminary curriculum to be confronted with the existing skillset of your target group
Which knowledge, skills and competences do you want your target group to acquire?
Brainstorm on your first identified learning outcome and define associated knowledge, skills and competence
