Module 1: Education Management for Sustainable Development

1. Overview of Competency Education

• Meaning and Types of Competency Education

  • Fundamental relation between education and sustainable development.

  • Competency education focuses on developing essential skills and abilities in learners for real-world applications.

  • Types of competencies include:

    • Core Competencies: Basic skills every learner needs, such as literacy and numeracy.

    • Specific Competencies: Skills tailored to specific professions or roles in the job market.

2. Importance of Competency

• Competency is defined as the ability to perform tasks effectively through the application of knowledge, skills, and attributes.

  • Comprises 3 components: Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes.

• Cited importance of performance in education:

  • Good academic performance does not guarantee success in professional life.

  • Practical competencies correlate with real-world job success.

3. Competency-Based Education (CBE)

• Definition and Characteristics

  • CBE emphasizes mastery of skills and knowledge, fostering a learner-centered environment.

  • Learners progress based on individual abilities, encouraging self-directed learning.

  • The main goal is to equip learners with core competencies necessary for work, problem-solving, and livelihood.

• Strengths of Competency-Based Curriculum

  • Helps develop critical core competencies required for professional success.

  • Reduces unnecessary learning content, focusing on essential knowledge and skills.

  • Decreases the teaching burden on instructors and allows for more effective use of class time.

4. Components of Competency-Based Education Management

• 1. Competency-Based Curriculum

  • Curriculum must emphasize practical applications and redefine learning outcomes centered around competencies.

  • Emphasis on learner behavior and practices over theoretical content.

• 2. Management of Teaching and Learning

  • Instruction must focus on real-life applications and allow for active learner engagement.

  • Diverse teaching methods should be employed to meet the varied needs of learners and to promote critical thinking.

  • Support continuous feedback and assessment based on individual progress.

5. Principles for Designing Competency-Based Teaching

• Seven Principles:

  1. Analyze daily life conditions of students for authentic learning tasks.

  2. Inquiry into learners' interests and curiosities to guide learning.

  3. Leverage community issues (e.g., global warming) for practical learning experiences.

  4. Identify school strengths as focal points for project-based learning.

  5. Collaboration in defining potential outcomes between educators and learners.

  6. Use cross-disciplinary integration for diverse knowledge.

  7. Understand local context to inform curriculum design and delivery.

6. Competency-Based Assessment

• Defined as measuring learner performance through real-life application of knowledge and skills.

• Must focus on progress and actual understanding rather than standard evaluations.

• STAR Technique for Assessment:

  • Situation: Real-world context of the assessment (e.g., community exploration).

  • Task: Define the task expected of learners based on previous exploration.

  • Action: How learners will execute their proposed solutions.

  • Result: Evaluation of the effectiveness of their solutions (e.g., reduction in local pests).

7. Conclusion

• National Education Plan 2017-2036 highlights the importance of competencies in education.

• Two competency types focus on holistic development—core competencies for all and specific competencies for vocational paths.

• Education should focus on curriculum, teaching management, and assessing competencies to ensure effective learner outcomes.
