如何描述和分析高等教育方案的内容和成果，以便了解它们的结构和功能？为了解决这个问题，我们开发了一个框架，建模研究生能力与高等学位课程的计算学科。虽然我们的工作重点是计算的框架是适用于教育更广泛。这里介绍的工作借鉴了开创性的信息技术课程文件（IT 2017），课程能力框架，其他相关文件，如软件工程能力模型（SWECOM），信息时代的技能框架（SFIA），当前的能力模型研究，以及最近计算会议的启发式研讨会结果。其目的是为正在进行的计算课程（CC2020）项目提供信息，该项目由计算机械协会（ACM）和IEEE计算机协会支持。我们开发了能力学习框架（CoLeaF），为描述能力提供了一个国际相关的工具。我们认为，这种能力为基础的方法是非常适合构建学习环境，并协助学位课程架构师在处理开发，描述和包括相关的计算机和IT专业人员的能力的挑战。在本文中，我们展示了CoLeaF能力框架如何在实践中应用，尽管一系列的案例研究表明其有效性和分析能力作为描述和比较国际高等教育领域学位课程的工具。
How might the content and outcomes of tertiary education programmes be described and analysed in order to understand how they are structured and function? To address this question we develop a framework for modelling graduate competencies linked to tertiary degree programmes in the computing disciplines. While the focus of our work is computing the framework is applicable to education more broadly. The work presented here draws upon the pioneering curricular document for information technology (IT2017), curricular competency frameworks, other related documents such as the software engineering competency model (SWECOM), the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA), current research in competency models, and elicitation workshop results from recent computing conferences. The aim is to inform the ongoing Computing Curricula (CC2020) project, an endeavour supported by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society. We develop the Competency Learning Framework (CoLeaF), providing an internationally relevant tool for describing competencies. We argue that this competency based approach is well suited for constructing learning environments and assists degree programme architects in dealing with the challenge of developing, describing and including competencies relevant to computer and IT professionals. In this paper we demonstrate how the CoLeaF competency framework can be applied in practice, and though a series of case studies demonstrate its effectiveness and analytical power as a tool for describing and comparing degree programmes in the international higher education landscape.
