From this module, I’ve learned that competency-based education (CBE) focuses on ensuring students can demonstrate mastery of specific skills and knowledge rather than simply spending time in a classroom. The emphasis is on outcomes—students progress when they can show competence, not just completion. I also learned that this approach allows for more individualized learning, giving students the flexibility to move at their own pace while ensuring they meet clearly defined standards tied to real-world performance.
Utilizing Bloom's taxonomy can create a successful learning experience for students and all parties combined
Learning how to teach students on all levels is KEY.
Everyone is on a different level when it comes to learning...
how they learn easier as opposed to others, the intake of learning comes at different paces, some are able to take different pieces of information from something as opposed to another person, ect...
Incorporate bloom's taxonomy in teaching.
Being able to work with students at different levels is important.
It was a interesting take on competency learning most of what i teach is competency based i will try and incorporate blooms Taxonomy into my teaching
I've learned the importance of objectives and how they relate to the cognitive and attentive levels of learning. I will ensure that my students always understand the objectives of each lesson and I will use creativity, teamwork, and experimentation to increase the student's level of understanding.
Blooms Taxonomy was very interesting
I learned a lot about competency-based education and how it shifts the focus from seat time to mastery of skills and knowledge.
Bloom's Taxonomy is very interesting.Quite insightful
I thought the pros and cons from the very begininning were helpful. Then continuing to break out the curriculum by interest, attitude and values. There seems to be more of a selection to focus on to be come better,
I enjoyed the breakdown of Bloom's taxonomy.
I learned that education via trial and failure in the laboratory is not only my philosophy, but well researched.
I enjoy learning about Bloom's taxonomy and how to use it as scaffolding for my students.
I learned that clearly defined objectives in lab/shop environments improve instruction and assessment. Competency-based objectives should engage cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains, aligning with Bloom’s Taxonomy.
I learned about blooms taxonomy.
Competency based education is important because it shows the students not only do they need to be able to perform the hands-on task but how they also need to be able to show they have a good understanding of knowledge/ theory behind what they are learning.
The 2005 engineering education survey results are interesting - I will use that in my analog circuits class.
I as an instructor engage in the hands on approach so the students get the real life situations that they will run into in the work environment. Through this I ask questions to see if they understand how it works.
