Prøitz TS, Havnes A, Briggs M, Scott I, 'Learning outcomes in professional contexts in higher education'
European Journal of Education 52 (1) (2017) pp.31-43
ISSN: 0141-8211 eISSN: 1465-3435
Abstract With the policy of developing a, transparent and competitive European higher education sector learning outcomes (LOs) are attributed a foundation stone role in policy and curriculum development. A premise for the implementation of LOs is that they bear fundamentally similar, meaning across national, institutional or professional/disciplinary contexts. In contrast detractors, suggest that LOs cannot communicate precisely across programmes or national boundaries. With this as a backdrop, this investigation analyse how LOs are used to communicate what students are to learn and the extent to which the use of LOs drives standardisation. The analysis is based on a case study of how LOs are formulated in study programme documents in two professional education programmes in Norway and the UK. The findings of the study indicate that LOs can be considered to drive standardisation through the same presentation using bullet points and therefore on the surface being presented in a standardised form. The study also finds that LOs are framed in varied ways in the two countries and within the different study programmes and in a web of interconnected documents, this ‘local’ structural usage of LOs disrupts the ‘foundation stone’ role of the LO as a vehicle for standardisation and weakens the establishment of sameness across institutions and nations.

Briggs M, 'Accountability pressures in coaching practice in primary schools'
(2018) Abstract http://leedsbeckett.ac.uk/-/media/files/research/collectived-feb-2018-issue-2.pdf?la=en
This paper indicates one aspect of coaching practices in primary schools that is how coaching links to other continuous professional development and accountability processes. What is discussed is part of a project focusing on primary head teachers’ perceptions of coaching in which data collection involved a combination of an on line survey and in depth interviews. The results indicate differences in coaching practice depending upon the degree to which accountability and control is seen as key elements of use of coaching for professional development by the heads for teachers in their schools. This raises questions about the understanding of the coaching process and the locus of control and ownership for teachers being coached.Website
