Preferred term

competency-based education  

Definition

  • Competency-based education stems from performance-based assessment and was originally known in the United States as performance-based education. There are several definitions of competency-based education, most likely because this methodology has been applied to a diverse group of educational designs such as teacher preparation and vocational programs.
