Guide to the Competency-Based Learning Survey for Students

These assessments should include the quantitative and qualitative measurements that provide evidence of success in the development of a learner’s knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Included in this broad framework is the learner’s ability to transparently recognize the strategies they are actors in. If a learner is unable to identify the frame- work in which he or she is learning under, they will be hard-pressed to apply their practice independently. The Education Development Center (EDC) provides such a tool for competency- based assessment. Their Competency-Based Learning Survey measures the effectiveness of competency-based implementation, including the understanding learners have of such a system. By capturing the full scope of your environment’s competency-based implementation, you can see a clear way forward for future iterations.
