Introduction
Throughout the history of education, there have been three different approaches to
curriculum development: content-based approach, objective-based approach, and
competency-based approach. Each method is suitable for a specific stage of national
educational development and unique to the educational mission of each institution. Thus,
educational administrators and teachers must understand the essence of each approach to
apply it effectively. Each approach has its own characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses,
making it essential to comprehend and choose the correct method for curriculum
development.
4. Conclusion
Competency-based education allows managing quality based on specified outcomes.
However, if applied without sufficient attention to content, it may lead to fundamental
knowledge gaps. Understanding the pros and cons of this approach will provide valuable
insights for adjusting and choosing suitable teaching methods for different learners, offering
feedback to management in curriculum design and implementation.
