Competency based on Educational Model 

Competency based on Educational Model 

Competency-based education is different from traditional education in that it breaks from the credit hour, today’s prevailing measure of student progress.

Competency-based education turns the traditional model on its head. Instead of awarding credits based on how much time students spend learning, this model awards credits based on whether students can prove they have mastered competencies—the skills, abilities, and knowledge required in an area of study.

To put it simply: In competency-based education, it’s not about time—it’s about what you know and are able to do.

Then the Teacher showed a short video about competency based Instruction, then we discussed about the video.
