RETRACTED ARTICLE: A higher education learning profile in the Asia-Pacific

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to expand knowledge beyond quality and assessment practices in the Asia-Pacific region to develop a profile about the nature of learning domains and degree qualifications. Using a policy research and analysis framework, data were collected from 16 of the 21 APEC economies about higher education systems and learning outcomes. This article evaluates the learning outcomes used throughout the region for a focus on workforce development and capacity building and addresses the regional landscape across Asia-Pacific economies for higher education learning domains or outcomes, student mobility, and regional cooperation.
