Outline of Final Research Achievements

1. the descriptions of the student learning outcomes from the akkrediteringsrapporter og afgoerelser from Denmark (DK), the subject benchmark statements explaining the core competencies at honours degree level (QAA) from England, the specific competences of TUNING Educational Structures in Europe (TUNING) have been checked. 2. the seven common fields in these three documents (chemistry, education, history, linguistics, mathematics, physics and theology) have been selected as target fields. 3. the student learning outcomes in these seven fields of DK, QAA, TUNING and some Japanese universities have been collected. And then, these descriptions of Learning Outcomes in Japanese have been analyzed by using the text mining approach. On the basis of the list of the word-frequency and the collocation (noun-adjective, noun-verb), the student learning outcomes have been reconstructed in those seven fields objectively without the implicit and context-dependent knowledge.
