This has involved 249 HEIs across 17 countries and regions joining forces to survey some 4 900 faculties and test some 23 000 students. This report presents the design and implementation lessons learnt from this unprecedented experience, as the AHELO Feasibility Study concludes in December 2012. A second volume will be published in February 2013 that will delve further in the analysis of the data and national experiences, while a third volume to be published in April 2013 will present the discussions and insights from the AHELO Feasibility Study Conference (taking place in March 2013). Contents Chapter 1 – The rationale for an AHELO: higher education in the 21st century context

At a time when innovation, knowledge and human capital are at the core of our economies and societies’ progress, higher education has a key role to play in preparing students to become effective workers and citizens. The OECD has a long standing interest in improving the quality of higher education to equip the next generation with the tools and opportunities for success. But we need to first overcome information gaps in the evidence base on learning. Therefore, the AHELO feasibility study is a groundbreaking attempt to assess whether it is possible to measure on an international scale what undergraduate students know and can do. To provide proof of concept, the AHELO feasibility study is exploring several areas from generic skills to discipline-specific competencies with economics and engineering being the focus at this stage. The aim is to develop different measures, ranging from cumulative performance to measures that capture the learning gain at ...
