Competency-based learning

It is also described as a type of education based on predetermined "competencies," which focuses on outcomes and real-world performance.

[2] In a competency-based education framework, students demonstrate their learned knowledge and skills in order to achieve specific predetermined "competencies.

[5][6] Key concepts that make up the competency-based education framework include demonstrated mastery of a competency, meaningful types of assessment, individualized support for students, and the creation and application of knowledge.

[7][9] The methodology of competency-based learning recognizes that learners tend to find some individual skills or competencies more difficult than others.

[15] The Mastery Transcript Consortium is a group of public and private secondary schools which are working to utilize competency-based learning as part of their effort to create a new type of secondary school transcript.
