A Manual for Development of the Qualifications Framework for ‘Ecology and Environmental Management’. Tempus Project 159325-TEMPUS-1-2009-1-DE-TEMPUS-JPHES "Qualifications Framework for ‘Ecology and Environmental Management’ (2010-2013).

Qualifications Frameworks (QF-s) allow for a global vision of education systems. They may be viewed as tools for integrating the spheres of work and education, for mutual recognition of job qualifications, for monitoring the quality of educational programmes, as well as for their modernization. The Manual for Development of the Qualifications Framework for ‘Ecology and Environmental Management’ summarizes the joint efforts of a team, including academics and representatives of the labour market, in order to elaborate the content of the QF for this subject area.

The manual is presenting one of the major outcomes of the Tempus Project 159325-TEMPUS-1-2009-1-DE-TEMPUS-JPHES ‘Qualifications Framework for Ecology and Environmental Management’ (2010-2013). The QF-s were developed building on the study of the existing EU and national approaches; on the needs analysis of regional labour markets, including surveys conducted among the graduates and the employers; on the analysis of the legal documents regulating the working activity of specialists in Ecology and Environmental Management, as well as on the governments’ educational standards. The discussion of the contents of the Regional QF-s took place in the course of multiple international seminars, conferences, round tables and discussions with the employers.

The present Manual will be of interest to experts in international education, especially in relation to the Bologna Process; to education managers, academic staff in charge of developing curricula; to students and decision-makers.

Published with a financial support of the Tempus Project 159325-TEMPUS-1-2009-1-DE-TEMPUS-JPHES Qualification Frameworks in the Field of Ecology and Environmental Management.
