Integration of Learning Outcomes for Stem Laboratories Into a New Learning Outcome Catalogue

Learning outcomes play an important role in education. For laboratory education in STEM, a multitude of different collections for programme level laboratory learning outcomes exist. This work has two major contributions: 1. a comparison of the different programme level learning outcome collections applying qualitative content analysis; and 2. a synthesis of a catalogue of 16 programme level learning outcomes for educational STEM laboratories based on the comparison. By including some more general frameworks - namely the Stifterverband Future Skills framework and the World Economic Forum Education 4.0 framework - we aim for a wider point of view that respects not only Academia but also economic perspectives while at the same time consolidating different perspectives and nomenclatures. We hope that the catalogue can both be useful for practitioners as well as for research in the area of laboratory pedagogy.
