Authentic Learning in Competency-Based Education (CBE)

CBE emphasizes demonstrable skills and mastery rather than seat time. Authentic alignment with CBE i. Learners demonstrate competencies through real-world tasks. ii. Assessments focus on performance, portfolios, and projects. iii. Progress is measured by evidence of mastery, not memorization. Example: In teacher education, learners design inclusive lesson plans and implement them in real classrooms, showing competency in pedagogy and inclusivity.
