Слайд 6Learning outcomes
“Learning outcomes describe what a learner is expected to know,
understand and be able to do after successful completion of a process of learning.”
(Bologna Working Group on Qualifications Frameworks (2005) A Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area, p. 38)
