- to fully understand and be able to use, in authentic situations, the different learning approaches of students (in depth, surface and strategic learning ; ideas of learning etc.)
- to identify the main characteristics of non-compulsory education and tracing the routes for improvement in teaching practice relating to them (management and teaching of large groups, dealing with mixed groups arising from the policy of free access, supporting young adults as they become students for the first time etc)
- to develop a critical attitude towards the use of new information and communication technology in education, particularly in highlighting how these techniques can add value

c) Educational approach to academic knowledge
- to identify the main conceptions of academic knowledge that students develop when they enter higher education
- to measure the impact of these conceptions on how students adapt
- to design ways of trying to bring these conceptions more into line with the expectations of knowledge in higher education.
d) Motivation and engagement factors in higher education
- to identify the main sources of motivation in higher education
- to analyze the roles of study projects, professional projects and life projects respectively in the dynamic of studies
- to gain understanding of failure and dropout with the help of engagement theories.

- to develop awareness of the main methods for evaluating what students have learned
- to design a systematic approach for producing examinations which are as valid, accurate and reliable as possible
- to measure the impact of different kinds of examinations on learning
