- KAPPAS2 investigates undergraduate and graduate students’ generic skills and the development of these skills during studies in Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences. The project aims to use both a cross-sectional and a longitudinal study design.
- KAPPAS2 produces important information for higher education institutions on the learning outcomes of their students in order to support the development of teaching and learning.
- Students participating in the study will receive their own test results indicating the level of their generic skills.
- The project focuses on students’ analytical reasoning and evaluation, problem solving, argumentative writing, and writing mechanics.
- Generic skills are measured by the Collegiate Learning Assessment CLA+ International instrument developed by the US-based Council for Aid to Education (CAE).
- The instrument includes a 60-minute performance task and a 30-minute section for selected-response questions.
