• Assessment Strategies: Explore various assessment techniques used to evaluate student proficiency and demonstrate acquired competencies. This includes methods for grading and academic reporting.
• Demonstrating Mastery: A core principle of competency-based learning is student demonstration of knowledge and skills. Students actively showcase their abilities as they progress.
• Progressive Skill Development: The module emphasizes how competency-based learning facilitates a gradual build-up of skills and knowledge throughout the educational journey. Students are evaluated on their ability to acquire and apply increasingly complex competencies.
• Knowledge & Skill Acquisition: The focus is on verifiable acquisition of essential knowledge and practical skills required for each stage of learning.
