摘要:Welcome to this special issue of the Journal of Learning Design , focussing on the assessment of learning outcomes in undergraduate science. We are delighted to present nine papers from a variety of scientific disciplines, including chemistry, biology, and agriculture, as well as the fundamental science in nursing degrees. The release of this issue coincides with the 2014 Australian Conference on Science and Mathematics Education, September 29 - October 1 in Sydney. The structure of the special issue is loosely based on the structure of the Australian Threshold Learning Outcomes for Science.
