Competency-Based Assessment is an educational approach that evaluates a learner's ability to demonstrate specific skills and knowledge. Instead of traditional grading systems, this method focuses on whether students can perform tasks or apply concepts effectively in real-world situations. This assessment type emphasizes mastery of competencies, allowing learners to progress at their own pace. It often includes practical evaluations, projects, and portfolios, ensuring that students not only understand the material but can also use it in practical contexts. This approach is commonly used in vocational training and professional development programs.
