Competency Based Learning

Competency-based education (CBE) is an approach that allows students to advance based on demonstrating mastery of skills regardless of time or place. CBE focuses on specific, measurable learning objectives so students receive timely support based on individual needs. It defines explicit competencies required for a particular field and assesses if students have mastered them through valid and reliable evaluations. CBE has advantages like ensuring students achieve job-required competencies, building confidence through mastery, and using training time efficiently. However, it requires initial training for instructors and attention to identifying essential skills to be truly effective. Overall, CBE is important in health care which demands improved quality and cost containment given expanding knowledge and demand.

INTRODUCTION :-

A competency is the capability to apply or use a set of related knowledge,


skills, and abilities required to successfully perform "critical work functions" or
tasks in a defined work setting. Competencies often serve as the basis for skill
standards that specify the level of knowledge, skills, and abilities required for
success in the workplace as well as potential measurement criteria for
assessing competency attainment.
Competency-based education is defined as an “approach [that] allows students
to advance based on their ability to master a skill or competency at their own
pace regardless of environment. This method is tailored to meet
different learning abilities and can lead to more efficient student outcomes.”

DEFINITION :-
Competency-based education is a combination of the knowledge, attitudes,
and skill necessary to meet a certain standard of practice. (Kelly 2002).

PURPOSES :-
•It helps in instructing students by examples.
• To understand skills when performing to the standards required in
employment.
• To provide nursing care that clients require.
• Safely and competently to ensure the responsibilities necessary for publics
protection.
•To provide safe and effective practice.
• Students advance upon achieving mastery.
•Competencies include explicit, measurable, transferable learning objectives
that empower students.
•Assessment is meaningful and a positive learning experience for students.
•Students receive timely, differentiated support based on their
individual learning need.
CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPETENCY BASED EDUCAITION:-

 Acquisition of essential cognitive psychomotor and affective skills


 Continued development of skills
 Authentic assessment which are valid and reliable
 Individual learning styles and abilities are recognize and appreciated
 Broadly based competency development derived from the best
professional evidence, current standard and regulation.

PRINCIPLES :-
Competency-based education has four principles.
• Responsibilities
•Assertiveness
•Accountability
•Authority
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF COMPETENCY BASED EDUCATION: -
 The main focus of competency based education is always on the
outcome rather than process.
• Processes are important when the outcomes are competencies are
consider.

REASONS FOR CURRENT INTEREST IN COMPETENCY-BASED EDUCATION :-

• Educational institution and providers need evidence that anyone who


completes a degree or course has achieved a required level of competency.
•A crediting regulatory and professional groups want assurance that complete
educational endeavour indicates competency.
•There is greater accountability for the costs and time it takes to complete
educational endeavour and determine if they achieve the expected outcome.
•Employers invest in extensive training programmes to address the initial
needs of all employees, especially those in complex, changing work
environments.
•Workers need to continue their own personal and professional development
to advance their own personal and professional development to advance their
careers and make positive contributions to organisations.
ADVANTAGES OF COMPETENCY BASED EDUCATION :-

• Participants will achieve competencies required in the performance of


Their jobs.
• Participants receive a transcript or list of the competencies they have
achieved.
• Participant build confidence as they succeed in mastering specific
competencies.
• Training time is used more effectively and efficiently.
• Focusing learning on the critical competencies needed for success in
the job and organization.
• Providing standards.

DISADVANTAGE OF COMPETENCY BASED EDUCATION :-

• Unless initial training and follow assistance is provided for the the
trainers, there is tendency to teach as we were thought and CBT
trainers quickly slip back into the role of the traditional teachers.

• Competency based teaching course is only as effective as the process


Used to identify the competencies. When little or no attention
given to the identification of the essential job skill, then the resulting
training course is likely to be ineffective.
• A course may be classified as competency based, but unless specific
competency based teaching materials and training approaches are
designed to be used as part of a competency based teaching
approach, it is unlikely that the resulting course will be truly
competency based.

Health care systems are facing a rapid expansion of knowledge and increasing
demand for improve quality of health care provision, with a concomitant
requirement for cost containment. So CBE is most essential in our daily life.
