COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING
Competency-based learning is learning the competencies
required or expected of a particular profession.
Competencies are behaviors or sets of behaviors that the
students must be able to demonstrate upon completion of a
specified set of learning activities. The competencies must
reflect the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for the
practice of a profession in a specified setting.
Emphasis is shifted from just acquired knowledge to
demonstrated performance. The competencies of the students are
VISIBLE. Students know what they are obligated to learn.
Instructors know what they are obligated to teach.
In competency-based learning, there is accountability.
Because behaviors or competencies of learners have been
identified, instructors are able to document what their students
CAN DO.
COMMUNITY-BASED LEARNING
Community-based learning is learning the competencies
expected of a profession within the environment of a community.
The student may stay in the community during the entire
duration of the course. Requiring the student to stay in the
community more than 50% of the entire course, however, entitles
the curriculum to be called community-based.
Community-oriented curriculum is simply a curriculum that
takes into account the health needs of the community. The
student may or may not have to stay in the community to learn his
profession. If he does, it is less than 50% of the entire course
duration.
