Curriculum reform in Europe: the impact of learning outcomes

This research paper is part of a series of systematic analyses carried out by Cedefop since 2009 on curriculum policies and practices in Europe. It builds on a previous research paper on Learning outcomes approaches in VET curricula: a comparative analysis of nine European countries, published in 2010, and three international workshops organised by Cedefop on curriculum innovation and reform worldwide. Using a comparative approach, this particular analysis discusses curriculum reform developments in 32 countries, identifies what is successful and why and provides greater insight into two specific sectors: tourism and electronics.
