Learning Outcomes at Palm Beach Community College

Creating a Culture of Evidence

decorative imageAs a community college, PBCC values its central role as a teaching and learning institution, and our mission statement emphasizes the importance of having a responsive curriculum. During the next two years, PBCC will institute a change in its curriculum focus towards the concept of learning outcomes. Learning outcomes can be thought of as the knowledge, skills, and abilities students attain as a result of their involvement in an educational activity.

The learning outcomes approach reflects a conceptual shift towards making learning more meaningful and effective for both students and faculty. Making education more meaningful for students requires that they gain a view of education that education can enable them to enrich their lives by learning. This is in contrast to the viewpoint that education is a task primarily done to satisfy the demands of others, such as faculty or the institution.

By developing educational experiences based on what students should be able to do with their knowledge, the learning outcomes approach will help faculty, staff and students understand the point of the educational activity, be it a program or course.

The links on the left contain the learning outcomes for Palm Beach Community College's curriculum and programs. These pages are updated as learning outcomes are developed.
