    NOMENCLATURE EXPLAINED: A Guide to Naming Qualifications and Learning Programmes for the SCQF Nomenclature Explained ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// THE SCOTTISH CREDIT AND QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) is Scotland’s lifelong learning framework. It contains the qualifications frameworks of the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and Scottish Higher Education (HE). The SCQF aims to: 1. help people of all ages and circumstances to access appropriate education and training over their lifetime to fulfil their personal, social and economic potential; 2. enable employers, learners and the public in general to understand the full range of Scottish qualifications, how the qualifications relate to each other and how different types of qualifications can contribute to improving the skills of the workforce. The SCQF is managed by the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework Partnership whose members include Scottish Government, higher education and college sectors, employers and SQA. Although it is not a regulatory body the SCQF Partnership maintains the quality and use of the Framework as a whole. The SCQF diagram portrays the frameworks of HE, SQA and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs). However, the Framework also currently contains over 400 qualifications and learning programmes such as non-formal learning programmes offered in the community or by employers, professional bodies, vendors such as Microsoft and those offered by Awarding Bodies other than SQA. The SCQF uses two measures to recognise learning: Level and Credit. Level provides an indication of the level of difficulty of a qualification or learning programme. This is based on one set of SCQF Level Descriptors which are developmental from SCQF Level 1 to 12.
  • On Professional Degree Requirement for Civil Engineering Practice

    On Professional Degree Requirement for Civil Engineering Practice

    Session 2515 ON PROFESSIONAL DEGREE REQUIREMENT FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING PRACTICE James T. P. Yao, Loren D. Lutes Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas I. Introduction In May 1998, ASCE NEWS announced that the Board of Direction “approved a resolution endorsing the master’s degree as the first professional degree for the practice of civil engineering.” The July 1998 ASCE NEWS clarified the earlier article by quoting the definition of the “first professional degree” used by the U.S. Department of Education. It is defined as “a degree that signifies both completion of the academic requirements for beginning practice in a given profession and a level of professional skill beyond that normally required for a bachelor’s degree.” Such a degree is generally required for dentists, physicians, pharmacists, lawyers, theologians, and architects. It is usually based on a total of at least six academic years of work. Arguments that have advanced for considering such a professional degree for civil engineering practice include: • The bachelor’s degree is no longer adequate preparation for civil engineering practice. • This change would improve the professional stature of civil engineers and thus improve the compensation of practitioners. • It would provide a clear distinction between civil engineering graduates and technicians. The same July 1998 article reported that the ASCE Board of Direction is contemplating promotion of a policy being prepared by the Educational Activities Committee. Also, the Board may decide to seek support from such organizations as the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes

    Classifying Educational Programmes

    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

J.D. or LL.B. as the Basic Law Degree? Marcus Schoenfeld* L EGAL EDUCATION IN THE United States is still evolving. In the past few decades the law schools have all but eliminated other means than law school study as preparation for the prac- tice of law. But, problems remain, especially in the area of content of the already crowded three-year day or four-year evening curricula, and in the area of graduate study. Compared to these major issues, the question of whether the first degree in law should be called an "LL.B." or a "J.D." seems trifling. Yet this is a very current question; the Special Committee on Graduate Study of the Association of American Law Schools is expected to report on this during the 1963 Annual Meeting. It is also ancient history, since "J.D.
