3
Learning outcomes - principles
TEQSA require of programs: “the expected learning outcomes,
their sequence of attainment and assessment”
• Statements that explain to students what they are expected to
know or be able to do after completing the subject
• Helpful in providing transparency for students
• Must be observable and measurable – assessable
• Good starting point for the design of activities and assessments
4From: Elliot, K. (2019) Designing a Curriculum EDUC90516
Aims, learning objectives and learning
outcomes
Aims or goals in teaching and learning reflect general intentions and
desired outcomes of an institution, program or course
Example: Curriculum and teaching practices aim to link students’
learning experiences to the world graduates will confront.
Learning objectives refer to teachers’ intentions for learners, such as
what students will be taught during the course or program
Example: Students will be taught the conceptual and theoretical tools
used in reasoning and problem solving, such as statistics, probability,
logic, and decision theory.
5From: Popenici, S. & Millar, M. (2015) Writing Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes are statements of what a student will be able
to do or demonstrate at the completion of a certain sequence of
learning (course, program).
Example: At the end of the course students will be able to
demonstrate the ability to use mathematical and statistical
techniques relevant to the business subjects taught.

A list of useful verbs
21From: Popenici, S. & Millar, M. (2015) Writing Learning Outcomes
Things to look out for and avoid
• Learning outcomes are written as learning objectives
• A learning outcome is too specific for the course/subject level
• A learning outcome is composed of multiple sentences/verbs
• Use of a ‘weak’ verbs, such as ‘learn’ or ‘understand’
• Learning outcomes are unrealistic given time and resources
• Learning outcomes that will not (or cannot) be assessed

  • 4. Learning outcomes - principles TEQSA require of programs: “the expected learning outcomes, their sequence of attainment and assessment” • Statements that explain to students what they are expected to know or be able to do after completing the subject • Helpful in providing transparency for students • Must be observable and measurable – assessable • Good starting point for the design of activities and assessments 4From: Elliot, K. (2019) Designing a Curriculum EDUC90516
  • 5. Aims, learning objectives and learning outcomes Aims or goals in teaching and learning reflect general intentions and desired outcomes of an institution, program or course Example: Curriculum and teaching practices aim to link students’ learning experiences to the world graduates will confront. Learning objectives refer to teachers’ intentions for learners, such as what students will be taught during the course or program Example: Students will be taught the conceptual and theoretical tools used in reasoning and problem solving, such as statistics, probability, logic, and decision theory. 5From: Popenici, S. & Millar, M.
