Aspects to be considered to integrate the learning outcomes approach into university curricular design. Innovaciones Educativas [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.34, pp.150-165.

The purpose of this article is to present the findings of the research carried out to identify important aspects that should be considered when using the learning outcomes approach in the university curriculum. The research design was qualitative and is considered exploratory, since it was the first approach to the subject. We worked with the method of reviewing the literature and interviewing experts in the field. Throughout the article, topics associated with this approach are addressed, such as writing, coherence of learning results with regard to curricular components, use of taxonomies for classifying levels of knowledge, curriculum mapping, benefits and challenges. As main results, it is found that both nationally and internationally the approach is known and that there are educational proposals that specifically include it in the profile, methodology and evaluation. However, at the level of curricular implementation in subjects or courses, the efforts are isolated and there is a lack of further treatment of the subject. On the other hand, it is evident that it is essential to have a taxonomy for the drafting of the learning results, being those of Bloom, Bloom revised and SOLO the most used.

Keywords : Learning; Higher Education; Assessment; Curriculum; Taxonomy.
