Work in progress: Modeling the best practices of adaptation to European credit transfer system in technical teachings as improvement to the mobility of students

Abstract:

European countries face significant challenges in crossing international, cultural, and social borders building the common space for Higher Education. The key in this process, to promote the mobility of the students is the implantation of the European credit transfer system (ECTS). The Spanish universities have begun their process of adaptation of unequal way, with the obligation, in any case, to adapt to the system of credits established in its normative prior to 2010. It is at the present moment, with its forced implementation, when universities require knowing the best practices of adaptation. Some universities have begun with some experiences but all of them look for references of how to do it. This task is not trivial. The objectives for the WIP here presented are to establish a description model of experiences of adaptation on credits ECTS that allows the comparison of all of them and to compile and organize experiences. Later, it will be developed a web site to disseminate the best experiences. © 2006 IEEE.
