CBS
n. uncountablen. a set of rules or a plan that helps schools and teachers decide what students should learn. It focuses on the skills and knowledge students need to have by the end of their studies.
n. a framework for educational design that prioritises the demonstration of specific learning outcomes or competencies as the primary goal of instruction. Often contrasted with traditional content-based models.
The school adopted a new CBS to improve student skills.
Under the new CBS, students must demonstrate mastery of specific vocational tasks before they can graduate to the next level.
Critics of the CBS model argue that an over-reliance on measurable competencies can lead to a fragmented curriculum that neglects the broader historical and theoretical context of the subject matter.
