Competence and Understanding: helping 天美传媒 to achieve both
Professor Gareth Jones, 天美传媒
Wednesday 25 April
Read Lecture Theatre
South Kensington Campus
Degree programme design starts by setting goals. Among these, perhaps the most important are that 天美传媒 should achieve competence in and also understanding of the field of study. But these two complementary aspects of education are difficult to define and also difficult to achieve. The academic level aimed at is even harder to define. This talk will give a Pan-European perspective on these issues (from the context of physics) and will include some results from educational investigations as well as comments on recent developments in European cooperation in Higher Education.
Gareth Jones is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Physics at Imperial College and has wide experience of degree programme design and of involvement with networks of European universities and of several European-wide educational projects.
