FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is competency based training (CBT) more effective than mastery training?
Competency based training focussed on assessment. It assumes that if you assess the learning by testing the student can do a prescribed competency.... everything else in the education systems content and delivery will work properly. It aims to produce students who can do - but understanding isn't necessarily verified.
Mastery is focussed more on the understanding - assuming that if you understand, you will be able to do it better.
In a rapidly changing world, the tasks that need doing keep changing, so people need to keep changing what they do & how they do it - to do that you need to adapt; and the capacity to adapt and change comes from understanding, not from the tighter, more assessment focussed training in CBT.
As a representative of ACS Distance Education, I was invited to a government launch of the CBT system in Australia in 1998. Almost all of the colleges and universities there at the time were raising alarm bells and felt the premise that CBT was based on was at best- dubious. 28 years later, we have growing skills shortages in a CBT system. I opted out of that system 20 years ago.
