EHEA at the Classrooms

In order to achieve a comparable system of degrees, with the same teaching load and structure for all the member states, it is necessary to integrate in the classroom culture new ways of understanding and developing the teaching-learning processes:

Other Ways of Understanding Learning:

A conception of learning which must aim at: active participation of students in their own learning process; and to provide students with autonomy to plan and develop their education.

The reconsideration of the student's learning as the real protagonists of their learning is the core of all the reconsideration of learning at the university. This conceptualization of learning requires teacher and students to have a new attitude and a greater responsibility of students on the organization of their studies.

Autonomous learning requires an intense system of tutorials and, similarly, requires students to have training in working techniques and the intensive use of learning tools such as Information and Communication Technologies.

Other Ways of Considering Teaching:

• ECTS: Academic Activity Organization Unit
  ECTS credits mean a transformation of the basic teaching organization. ECTS are standard units to assess the academic performance which involves the total student workload. One credit includes theory and practical hours, time for individual study, tutorials and seminars.
• Competences: aims of learning
  Competences within this context involve a new way of describing the aims pursued for the education of students. These are duties that students will have to be able to develop in order to manage relevant problems in the field of their future career.
• Methodological Flexibility
  The new systems of reference for teaching planning (ECTS and aims per competence) imply reconsidering new ways of teaching, introducing other didactic methodologies and diversity of materials and resources for teaching.
