Generic Skills in the Context of Higher Education.
Clanchy, John; Ballard, Brigid
Higher Education Research and Development, v14 n2 p155-66 1995
An Australian report identifying "generic skills, attributes, and values" as the central achievements of higher education is criticized as vague and inconsistent. A more systematic analysis is offered of higher order generic skills as they manifest themselves in thinking, research, and communication, and of the way in which these skills assume a variety of different forms in different disciplinary contexts.
