competence
the ability to apply
knowledge and use know-
how to complete tasks and
solve problems
• cognitive (involving the use
of logical, intuitive and
creative thinking)
• practical (involving manual
dexterity and the use of
methods, materials, tools
and instruments)
KNOWLEDGE SKILLS
COMPETENCE

Group work:
• Take two of your cours descriptions
• Review your learning outcomes and define which skills types are covered
• If you gain the impression that some skills are not covered (sufficiently), add skills
• Produce a word file where you contrast the old and new version of the learnong
outcomes
• Explain which skills types are covered in the new version of learning outcomes
• Upload the file onm Google Drive: „TRIGGER Vienna Training Working Folder“

Entrepreneurship Competence
Framework – EntreComp (ECF)
EntreComp offers a comprehensive description of the knowledge, skills and
attitudes that people need to be entrepreneurial and create financial,
cultural or social value for others.
EntreComp is a common reference framework that identifies
• 15 competences
• in three key areas
that describe what it means to be entrepreneurial.

What does all this mean for teaching
entrepreneurship?
• Conventional teaching methods will hardly suffice to develop entrepreneurship
skills and competencies (no classroom teaching)
• EE is very much action-based
• Hence, teachers should
− create favorable, action-oriented environments inside or outside of the university
/ settings where the learning takes place
− where all resources available are deployed, e.g. business networks, incubators,
TTOs and many others more
− design development processes based on learning outcomes
− support students’ actions and observe the behaviour of students
− act as facilitators of learning

Learning outcomes
• Knowing objectives enables learners to act on these objectives
• Goal orientation fosters self-organisation
− What can I do/what do I have to do to achieve my learning objectives?
− What is the best way to goal achievement?
• Starting point for planning of all didactic activities as well as module and course contents
• Basis for designing teaching and learning processes and selecting teaching methods
• Allow for derivation of standards and methods for assessing knowledge and skills

“What and how students learn depends to a major
extent on how they think they will be assessed.
Assessment practices must send the right signals to
students about what they should be learning and how
they should be learning it.”

Learning taxonomy
• Learning outcomes are classified in
learning outcome levels, in increasing
order of difficulty.
• Thus, the classification of learning
outcomes by levels is a tool for
planning content and teaching
methods for courses.

Golden rules at the UAS BFI Vienna
1. Use the standard formulation: “After completing this course/module,
students are able to” plus active verb plus content (i.e. subject matter)
1. Use active verbs for the action-based definition of learning outcomes
2. Express learning outcomes in the form of short, concise sentences
3. Set realistic learning outcomes and remember that one ECTS credit is
equivalent to a workload of 25 hours
4. Outline between five and eight learning outcomes per module or course
5. Order the specified learning outcomes according to learning outcome level
6. Ensure that the assessment content and methods for a course or module
correspond to the learning outcome levels
… for developing learning outcomes:
Example: Module “Bookkeeping”
LO level After completing this module, students are able to:
1 Remembering • describe the systematic approach used in double-entry bookkeeping
2 Understanding
• identify the various effects of entries on inventory and profit and loss accounts on the statement of
financial position
3 Applying
• perform regular bookkeeping (e.g. wages and salaries, taxes, various expenses)
• independently account for basic procurement and sales transactions
• carry out basic closing entries
• prepare the balance sheet and income statement
4 Analysing • analyse balance sheets and income statements at a superficial level
5 Evaluating
• compare and evaluate the effects of accounting options on the presentation of the balance sheet
and income statement
6 Creating
• prepare comparisons of periods and companies based on selected financial indicators
• and express conclusions on a company’s assets, finances and earnings based on these comparisons

Important!
When developing learning outcomes:
• Avoid vague and general formulations such as “Students acquire general
knowledge of...”, “develop an understanding of...” or “obtain detailed insights”.
• Formulations like these do not express learning outcomes and therefore do not
provide a basis for developing and applying skills-based assessment methods.
• Effectively formulated learning outcomes express the intended learning
objectives using active, action-based language.
• The following overview provides a list of active verbs – ordered according to
learning outcome levels – that are suited to the effective formulation of
learning outcomes.
Active verbs

Use active verbs for the action-based definition of learning outcomes 2. Express learning outcomes in the form of short, concise sentences 3. Set realistic learning outcomes and remember that one ECTS credit is equivalent to a workload of 25 hours 4. Outline between five and eight learning outcomes per module or course 5. Order the specified learning outcomes according to learning outcome level 6. Ensure that the assessment content and methods for a course or module correspond to the learning outcome levels … for developing learning outcomes: Example: Module “Bookkeeping” LO level After completing this module, students are able to: 1 Remembering • describe the systematic approach used in double-entry bookkeeping 2 Understanding • identify the various effects of entries on inventory and profit and loss accounts on the statement of financial position 3 Applying • perform regular bookkeeping (e.g. wages and salaries, taxes, various expenses) • independently account for basic procurement and sales transactions • carry out basic closing entries • prepare the balance sheet and income statement 4 Analysing • analyse balance sheets and income statements at a superficial level 5 Evaluating • compare and evaluate the effects of accounting options on the presentation of the balance sheet and income statement 6 Creating • prepare comparisons of periods and companies based on selected financial indicators • and express conclusions on a company’s assets, finances and earnings based on these comparisons UAS BFI Vienna (2018) Manual for development of learning outcomes. 33 34
  • 18. 29.11.2022 18 Important! When developing learning outcomes: • Avoid vague and general formulations such as “Students acquire general knowledge of...”, “develop an understanding of...” or “obtain detailed insights”. • Formulations like these do not express learning outcomes and therefore do not provide a basis for developing and applying skills-based assessment methods. • Effectively formulated learning outcomes express the intended learning objectives using active, action-based language. • The following overview provides a list of active verbs – ordered according to learning outcome levels – that are suited to the effective formulation of learning outcomes. Active verbs LO level Active verbs Remembering arrange, define, describe, duplicate, identify, label, list, match, memorize, name, order, outline, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce, select, state Understanding describe, illustrate, classify, convert, defend, describe, discuss, distinguish, estimate, explain, express, extend, generalize, give example(s), identify, indicate, infer, locate, paraphrase, predict, recognize, rewrite, review, summarize, select, translate Applying apply, carry out, select, justify, calculate, determine, demonstrate, give examples of, perform, find, formulate, use, develop, solve, modify, explain, verify, prepare, incorporate Analysing derive, analyse, resolve, diagnose, collect, recognise, draw conclusions on, contrast, break down, identify, isolate, classify, prove, conclude, distinguish, examine, make generalisations, compare, dissect, categorise Evaluating present arguments, select, assess, evaluate, classify, estimate, test, recommend, decide, check, reformulate, differentiate, adjust, compare, suggest, disprove Creating develop, devise, prepare, generate, design, produce, combine, integrate, optimise, plan, manage, reorganise, structure, transfer, redesign, implement, make generalisations, write, compile, value 35 36

  • 23. 29.11.2022 23 Assessments • Which knowledge, skills and competences have been defined in the learning outcomes? • Choose a well-selected variety of assessment methodologies • Make use of customers’, external experts’ and ideation partners’ feedback for assessment • Communicate to your students well in advance how assessments will be done Assessment of entrepreneurial skills 45 46
  • 24. 29.11.2022 24 Behavior What? Determine which practical behavior students have to demonstrate proving achievement of learning goals. Conditions How? Which means or methods must students use / are students allowed to use when demonstrating their competences? Standards How much? Which standards or criteria ensure precise measurement of scope and quality of skills demonstration? 3 basic elements of competence-oriented assessments Skills-based assessment Assessments Traditional style (very much knowledge- centered) • Research reports • Written home-work • Presentations • Written exams: open/closed book, multiple choice-tests Observation techniques • Intensity of participation / activity level • Role-taking • Content-related student contributions • Individual/group learning progress • Individual / group performance • Document observations with appropriate means, e.g. rubrics External feedback • Intensity of participation / activity level • Role-taking • Content-related student contributions • Individual/group learning progress • Document observations with appropriate means, e.g. rubrics Assessment of outcomes • Characteristics of results (products, processes, services) • Rating of level / degree of task fulfillment • Target groups’ acceptance/adoption of results 47 48
