    Module Four Overview

    Assessment plays a crucial role in the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) as it moves beyond measuring students' ability to recall information and focuses on evaluating their ability to apply knowledge, skills, and values in real-life situations. This module provides a comprehensive understanding of assessment in CBC, highlighting different approaches to evaluating learners effectively.

    In this module, you will:

    • Explore the principles and purpose of formative, summative, and criterion-referenced assessment.
    • Understand the triangulation of assessment methods to ensure a holistic evaluation of learners.
    • Learn how to link real-world experiences to teaching and learning, making assessment more practical and meaningful.
    • Gain insights into the Activity of Integration (AoI) and how to generate and assess activities that enhance competency development.
    • Understand the evaluation grid and how it supports structured assessment of learners’ progress.

    By the end of this module, you will be able to design and implement assessments that measure not only academic progress but also learners' ability to apply competencies in diverse situations, ensuring they are well-prepared for real-world challenges.

      Assessment Instructions for Learners:

      • Read the Clues Carefully:

        • Use the given definitions and descriptions to identify the correct terms related to scenario-based learning and competency-based education.

      • Fill in the Crossword Grid:

        • Write each answer in the appropriate horizontal or vertical space.
        • Ensure correct spelling, as incorrect spelling may affect scoring.

      • Apply Critical Thinking:

        • Use Bloom’s Taxonomy to analyse, evaluate, and apply concepts from the learning material.
        • Some answers require understanding definitions, while others need deeper reasoning and real-world application.

      • Cross-Check Your Answers:

    • Forum Discussion Topic: Designing Real-Life Scenarios for Competency-Based Learning

      Competency-Based Learning encourages linking teaching and learning to real-life situations through approaches like scenario-based learning.

      Reflect on your subject area:

      👉 Design an activity with a scenario and a task  that helps learners apply a specific concept (e.g., number bases, linear equations, tourism, or any other topic within your subject area) to a real-life situation in their community.

      👉Explain how this activity brings out at least one of the following aspects: supporting learner engagement, critical thinking, understanding  and transfer of knowledge to real-life challenges.

      Instructions:

      • Post your response (at least 150 words).

      • Reply to at least two peers, offering feedback or suggestions to improve their scenarios.
