The EQF Model and Teacher's Competences

Abstract

The ‘Bologna Declaration’ has highlighted the importance of skills in Higher Education as well as primary and secondary education. The purpose of this paper is to show the most relevant aspects of the EQF model, and the aim of the powers in the EQF model. The compromise of each of the member states of the EU is to assume the EQF model. The final objective is to obtain a common education principally based on a focus of learning outcomes and with a lifelong learning perspective. We conclude by noting that the pretension of the EQF model for lifelong learning falls short. As noted by Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics’ “ethical actions are not forgotten”. This observation leads us to ask a question that we will try to answer in another paper: Is it appropriate consideration of ethics in the model EQF according to the make through the learning outcomes?
