Presentation Transcript

  1. Using a Competency Model for Curriculum Development and Enhancement Competency models assist curriculum developers to: • Develop competency-based training objectives and outcomes • Tailor courses to specific student populations or industry needs • Evaluate and update existing program content • Identify gaps between curriculum outcome objectives and employer expectations.

  2. Using a Competency Model to Conduct Curriculum Gap Analysis Basic Steps • Indentify the competencies of interest on your competency model  • Identify the courses which participants might take under your curriculum • For each competency of interest, identify the course in which that competency is taught. Consider: • To what extent are all the needed skills/information for that competency taught? • How will you know if participants gain the skills and knowledge needed? • Identify any competency for which there is no course. These are your “gaps”. Consider: • Where else might they get this information or skill? • Is there a course which could include this information or is an additional course needed?
