Determining Competencies
This piece is part of a series exploring competency-based education (CBE). This piece focuses on how programs and faculty, whether fully implementing CBE or incorporating select elements, might determine high-quality competencies to guide assessments.
Introduction to Competency-Based Education
As higher education evolves to meet the needs of today’s diverse learners, competency-based education (CBE) is gaining traction for its student-centered approach and promises of affordability and workplace preparation. According to a 2020 survey, 128 unique institutions were operating a total of 1,057 CBE programs between 2018 and 2020, and 82% of responding institutions expected CBE programs to grow further between 2020 and 2025 (American Institutes for Research [AIR], 2021). While interest in CBE may be growing, most institutions remain in the early planning stages.
