• In Event: 75.036 - Learning Mathematics, Reading, and Foreign Languages

Abstract

We developed an online Competency-Based Learning (CBL) geometry methods course (MAED 5355) along with a series of assessment instruments as a field test to evaluate the feasibility of implementing CBL. The following procedure was used to develop the CBL course: creating course goals and unit objectives; mapping a list of competencies based on standards; designing/identifying learning activities (e.g., reading, projects, reflections, assignments, discussions) aligned with the course objectives and competencies, and developing assessment instruments.
