Dear All, As part on an ongoing project, I have in mind a small exercise. My intention is to 'map; the various definitions of skills which we in academia try to develop and assess in students. There are obviously the QCA key skills, and the City and Guilds have there own series, for accreditation of their licentiate. But increasing I am finding in research and conversation that many universities have their own set, either as a pan-university skills project, or even embedded within a single course or school or perhaps even a module/unit particulalrly placement units. What I would like from list members, if possible, is a schedule of the skills, down to performance criteria level, if appropriate (range statements and evidence specs are not necessary) and an indication of where they are used, throughoutr the university, within a particular course, or more specifically as part of a module. I am particulalrly intersted in the assessment of placement and work based learning, and schedules of the skills used in these units, in whatever discipline would be very welcome. The output is most likley to be a simple spread sheet (MS Excel no doubt) and I would be happy to forward this to all contributors, or even post it back to the list, once complete.
