As part of BUas’ mission to empower our students to shape a better world, all bachelor curricula at BUas explicitly dedicate attention to one of the key challenges related to shaping a better world: climate change.
  • Onderwijs

Through incorporating dedicated Intended Learning Outcomes and learning activities, all BUas students are stimulated and supported to explore their personal perspective on this topic, as well as how this topic relates to their future role as a professional. This is done in a way that links this particular challenge – climate change – to the wider challenge of (ecological and social) sustainable development. Students are encouraged and facilitated to identify and implement their own development process in relation to their (current and future, personal and professional) role in tackling societal challenges, with the intention that awareness and engagement should not result in despair and anxiety but rather in increased consciousness and empowerment. 

Translation into ILOs 

With respect to Climate & Sustainability Education, the following two intended learning outcomes (ILOs), including three distinct levels of autonomy and complexity for achieving each of them, represent the ILOs to be integrated in all BUas curricula: 

ILO 1: Account for climate and sustainability realities/facts in crafting context-specific courses of action to tackle societal challenges that relate to climate change and/or the broader challenge of sustainable development 

  1. Basic Level: With guidance, identify climate and sustainability issues that are relevant to a domain’s current and potential contribution to tackling societal challenges that relate to climate change and/or the broader challenge of sustainable development 
  2. Intermediate Level: With coaching, analyse the interdependencies between various climate and sustainability issues that are relevant to a domain’s current and potential contribution to tackling societal challenges that relate to climate change and/or the broader challenge of sustainable development 
  3. End Level: With limited coaching and direction, make well-argued choices and decisions in crafting context-specific courses of action (within or across domains) to tackle societal challenges that relate to climate change and/or the broader challenge of sustainable development 

ILO 2: Develop their/your own (current and future, personal and professional) role in tackling societal challenges that relate to climate change and/or sustainable development 

  1. Basic Level: With guidance, identify a range of realities, facts, perspectives and opinions with respect to societal challenges that relate to climate change and/or the broader challenge of sustainable development 
  2. Intermediate Level: With coaching, analyse positionality of stakeholders involved with societal challenges that relate to climate change and/or the broader challenge of sustainable development 
  3. End Level: With limited coaching and direction, make well-argued choices and decisions in crafting their/your own (current and future, personal and professional) role in tackling societal challenges that relate to climate change and/or the broader challenge of sustainable development
