About this title

Synopsis:

This work comprises a selection of papers from the first symposium devoted to competency based learning held in Worthing in March 1989. The book provides an historical backdrop for anyone coming new to the study of Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET). Although CBET is a relatively new focus for research and development in the UK it has a long history and literature in the USA. In this book CBET's origins are located and its development is reviewed by relating the American experience to current developments sponsored by the National Council for Vocational Qualifications (NCVQ) and the Training Agency (TA). Technical issues bound up in the concept of competence are examined, the ways in which the three main agencies (NCVQ, the TA and the FEU) are contributing and responding to the development of coherent framework are considered and the implications for Further Education are analysed.
