4. What kind of evaluation? – “Learning Outcomes”
Evaluation is an important stage in science education which requires continuity. The logic of evaluation today is more often stated with the concept of “learning outcomes”. Learning outcomes are the competencies of what the student knows and what the student can understand (Tuning Educational Structures in Europe, 2007). Here competency information is a combination of concepts and skills. Learning outcomes need an active, observable and measurable process that changes directly from teaching to learning. To do this they must be a combination of the shared philosophy that is taught.
In light of what was explained above, the knowledge, skill and methods anticipated to be achieved in the science education activity as parallel with the curriculum are presented as terms, definitions and recommendations in the items below. These items are classroom activities that will be done with future teachers in the education faculty and students in primary schools. During a science activity the order of these items is not important but it is important to remember them and keep them in mind.
