Competency-based education focuses on demonstrating mastery of skills rather than time spent in class. It allows students to progress at their own pace by allowing credit for competencies achieved. Key aspects include variable time and location of learning, ensuring all concepts are mastered, and evaluating outcomes rather than process. Challenges include technological issues, policy/funding concerns, and ensuring quality. Literature reviews competency models for professional psychology training and core competencies in relationships, assessment, intervention and other areas.

16. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
 Competency-based education for professional
psychology.
Kenkel, Mary Beth (Ed); Peterson, Roger L. (Ed)
Washington, DC, US: American
PsychologicalAssociation Competency-based
education for professional psychology.(2010)
Over half of the clinical psychologists graduating each year come
from professionally oriented doctoral programs in psychology.

17. Therefore, the impact of the type of training those
students receive is tremendous. Competency-
Based Education for Professional
Psychology presents the most up-to-date, research-
based model for education in professional
psychology. Based on more than 30 years of
research and development by the National Council
of Schools and Programs of Professional
Psychology, the model focuses on core
competencies.

18. The volume is divided into four parts. Part I presents
an overview of the training model and discusses the
theories and research that form the basis of the
model. Part II describes the seven core competencies
needed by professional psychologists: relationship,
assessment, intervention, research and evaluation,
consultation and education, management and
supervision, and diversity. Chapters in this section
discuss the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that
characterize each competency and provide examples
of proven curricula and teaching methods.

19. Part III addresses the characteristics and key roles of
faculty and administrators, and Part IV describes
future challenges in professional psychology
education. By providing methods for implementing
the model in different educational and training
settings, this book will serve as a key resource for
everyone involved in the education, training, and
regulation of professional psychologists. (PsycINFO
