Cross-curricular final objectives in mainstream secondary education
Introduction
Inspired by the European recommendation, and in concordance with
ideas from the OESO-project ‘The definition and selection of key
competences’, the revision of the final objectives should primarily
offer an answer to the question which capacities every citizen in
Flanders minimally needs to be able to participate actively in society,
and to develop a personal life.
To review the cross-curricular final objectives the choice has been made
to fall back on the definition as mentioned in the ratification decree
of final objectives mentioned before, in which, in the starting points
for the final objectives of the first grade of secondary education, a
feasible and actual vision on basic education is defined as follows:
Every pupil has the right to a relevant basic education. Basic education
prepares a pupil for a creative functioning in society in a critical
way, and for the development of a personal life.
To give shape to these ideas, a new reference framework has been
designed. This framework makes operational this vision on basic
education in seven contexts or areas of application, a common trunk and
learning to learn:
- Physical health and safety
- Mental health
- Socio-relational development
- Environment and sustainable development
- Political-legal society
- Socio-economic society
- Socio-cultural society
The new cross-curricular final
objectives 1/09/2010.
The current cross-curricular final objectives for ICT (first stage) and
technical-technological education (only for general secondary education/ASO in
second and third stage), still remain unchanged.
The list of the final objectives (pdf, 15 p.) and
the text of the starting points (pdf, 20 p.)
are also available in pdf-format.
