Section 2Clarifying learning outcomesWhy?The learning outcomes derive from the aims and objectives of the syllabus and haveimplications for the manner in which different parts of the syllabus should be taught.Since one of the keys to effective teaching is the use of a range of methodologies,learning outcomes are useful in guiding teachers as to the type of methodologies that areappropriate to the teaching of different parts of the syllabus.The learning outcomes also have implications for the manner in which the differentsyllabus topics are to be examined. The aims and objectives set out the targets that theteacher endeavours to reach with her/his pupils: the learning outcomes set out what thestudent is expected to know and/or be able to do at the end of the course of learning and,therefore, the basis on which the student will be assessed through the written examinationand/or other assessment instruments.The Leaving Certificate syllabus has learning outcomes for the two inter-linked parts ofthe syllabus, Working with evidence, and Topics for study: these may be found on pages10 and 13 of the syllabus, respectively.What are ‘learning outcomes’?Learning outcomes are statements describing what students are expected to know,understand and/or be able to do at the end of a particular course of study. As well asguiding the teaching and learning that takes place in the classroom, they also serve toidentify the bases on which the external, summative assessment of the student’s learningwill take place.© 2008 History In-Service Team [HIST] - 28 -
