FORMING AND ASSESSING THE COMPETENCE TO ELABORATE PROPOSALS OF SPATIAL PLANNING MEASURES FOR HYDROGRAPHICAL BASINS
Abstract
During the M.Sc. programme of Resources and risks within the hydroatmospheric environment, at the Faculty of Geography of Babeş-Bolyai University, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, we aimed to form our students’ competence to elaborate proposals of integrated spatial planning measures, at the course of Integrated spatial planning of hydrographical basins. For increasing the education quality concerning the elaboration of proposals for spatial planning measures and for developing university students’ competence to elaborate such proposals at as high a level as possible, in this research we targeted the realising of five objectives. In order to achieve those objectives, we analysed the activities we had with our students. The tools we used during this research were very useful for the rigorous and systematic planning and organising of the activity and we introduced a series of novelty elements. By using those tools in this assessment type of research, we identified easily and quickly M.Sc. students’ lacunae and mistakes when elaborating the proposals of integrated spatial planning measures for hydrographical basins, we categorised them and that enabled us to identify the ways to improve our future activity and students’ results.
