Variations in teaching of removable partial dentures in Spanish dental schools
2010
Objectives: Despite the increasing demand for implant-based treatments, removable partial dentures (RPDs) are frequently used in the oral rehabilitation of partially dentate patients. Furthermore, the Bologna Declaration Agreement (1999) promotes the freedom of movement both of students among dental schools and of graduates across the European Union (EU).

Assessment of competences in designing online preparatory materials for the Cambridge First Certificate in English examination
2012
The implementation of the competence-based approach set out by the Bologna Declaration within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) entails important changes in learning processes and brings new approaches to content teaching and learning, inevitably affecting planning, methodology and assessment (Cano García, 2008).

Achieving Bologna Goals: Where Does Europe Stand Ahead of 2010
2010
Ten years have passed since the signature of the Bologna declaration. Seventeen countries have joined the process; since then, several new action lines have been added and the original action lines have often gained a new and more sophisticated content. The 2009 Bologna Stocktaking exercise included the traditional quantitative indicators, the criteria this time being designed to evaluate the goals set for 2010. In addition, particular emphasis was put on qualitative analysis on this occasion to provide a realistic picture of what has been achieved and which initiatives will take more time than anticipated to implement. The 2009 stocktaking shows that while there has indeed been important …
