Competency-Based Education: Reflection and Application
This module highlighted the importance of competency-based education (CBE) in helping students achieve specific skills and knowledge at their own pace, with a focus on mastery rather than time spent. CBE promotes a student-centered approach, allowing learners to progress as they demonstrate competency in essential areas, ensuring that each student reaches a defined standard of proficiency before moving forward.
To apply this, I plan to integrate clear, measurable competencies in my curriculum, providing benchmarks that students must meet to advance. This will include practical skills assessments, case-based evaluations, and tailored feedback sessions to ensure students fully grasp each concept. By adopting this method, I can better support students in developing the skills necessary for clinical proficiency and professional success.
