Competency Based Instruction
Competency-based Instruction is learner focused development and delivery of curriculum. The basis for curriculum development is identified, verified competencies required to effectively complete a project in a real life situation as it relates to the program. Many terms are used to express competency-based instruction (hands-on, active learning, etc.), but the essence of this type of instruction is rooted in the idea that the student actually performs a competency in practice and assessments. The Instructional Development office offers workshops on developing competency-based curriculum and instruction. These workshops are available for both Workforce and Academic program areas. Another tool useful in competency-based curriculum development is the Worldwide Instructional Design System (WIDS). This software is specifically designed for competency-based curriculum. Check our link to WIDS training for more information regarding this software. For additional information, start here by initiating a project or contact the Instructional Design Manager at Instructional Development Services. |
