Right Tracks--Wrong Rails: The Development of Generic Skills in Higher Education.
Leckey, Janet F.; McGuigan, Maureen A.
Research in Higher Education, v38 n3 p365-78 Jun 1997
A study at the University of Ulster (Northern Ireland) explored student (n=1,456) and faculty (n=357) views on whether course content develops skills that are transferable to work. While faculty and students ascribed equal importance to key generic skills, they differed in the extent to which they believed necessary skills are being developed through course content. (MSE)
