Learning Objectives
• By the end of this workshop, you will be able
to:
• • Understand key principles of CBL.
• • Differentiate traditional vs competency-
based assessment.
• • Identify competencies and learning
outcomes.
• • Design competency-based questions.
• • Reflect on NEP 2020 classroom applications.
Context: Why NEP 2020 Matters
• • Focuses on holistic, flexible, and
multidisciplinary learning.
• • Encourages conceptual understanding, not
rote memorization.
• • Aims for competency-based education that
builds real-life skills.
• • Teachers are key implementers of this vision.
The Shift in Indian Education
• Old Paradigm vs New Paradigm (NEP 2020)
• Content-heavy → Competency-based
• Marks-driven → Skill-driven
• Teacher-centered → Student-centered
• Recall-based → Application-based
What is Competency?
• A competency is the ability to apply
knowledge, skills, and attitudes to perform a
task successfully.
• Components:
• 🧠 Knowledge
• 💪 Skill
• 💖 Attitude
What is Competency-Based
Learning (CBL)?
• CBL ensures that students:
• • Demonstrate mastery of competencies.
• • Learn at their own pace.
• • Are assessed through application and
reasoning.
• • Receive feedback that promotes reflection.
Features of CBL
• ✅ Focuses on learning outcomes.
• ✅ Promotes real-world application.
• ✅ Encourages creativity and collaboration.
• ✅ Uses formative assessments.
• ✅ Allows flexible learning.
NEP 2020 on Competency-Based
Education
• Key Excerpts:
• • Assessment focuses on higher-order skills.
• • Curriculum develops competencies.
• • Students learn how to learn.
Why Move to CBL
• • Encourages deep understanding.
• • Bridges school and real-life skills.
• • Builds lifelong learners.
• • Prepares students for future skills.
Learning Outcomes vs
Competencies
• Learning Outcomes: What students know or
do.
• Competencies: Application of learning in real-
life situations.
• Focus: Results vs Process + Performance.
Example: Subject-Wise
Competencies
• English: Analyzes texts and interprets
meaning.
• Math: Applies reasoning to daily-life problems.
• Science: Uses concepts to explain natural
phenomena.
• Social Science: Connects past to present
issues.
Question Transformation Examples
• Science: ❌ Define reflection. ✅ Explain how
reflection helps drivers.
• English: ❌ Write the meaning of perseverance.
✅ Describe a situation showing perseverance.
• Math: ❌ Find ½ of 36. ✅ You baked 36
cupcakes. Share half — how many given?
The Teacher’s Role in CBL
• • Acts as facilitator and mentor.
• • Designs competency-aligned experiences.
• • Encourages inquiry and exploration.
• • Uses continuous assessment.
Traditional vs Competency-Based
Learning
• Traditional → Teacher-centered, marks-driven
• CBL → Student-centered, mastery-driven
Bloom’s Taxonomy Overview
• 1. Remember
• 2. Understand
• 3. Apply
• 4. Analyze
• 5. Evaluate
• 6. Create
Verbs for Question Design
• Remember: define, recall
• Understand: explain, describe
• Apply: use, demonstrate
• Analyze: compare, differentiate
• Evaluate: assess, justify
• Create: design, compose
Question Levels Example (Science)
• Remember: Define photosynthesis.
• Apply: Explain why plants in dark don't
produce starch.
• Analyze: Predict greenhouse effect of more
CO2.
Question Levels Example (Maths)
• Remember: State area of circle formula.
• Apply: Calculate park area with radius 7m.
• Evaluate: Compare fencing costs of two circles.
Question Levels Example (English)
• Understand: What is the central idea?
• Apply: How does imagery express emotion?
• Create: Write a similar poem.
Question Levels Example (Social
Science)
• Remember: When did India gain
independence?
• Analyze: Why was unity important?
• Evaluate: How does democracy ensure
equality?
Traditional vs CBL Questions
Summary
• Traditional: What is photosynthesis?
• CBL: Why do farmers use transparent sheets?
• Traditional: Define democracy.
• CBL: How can citizens strengthen democracy?
Activity 1: Identify Competencies
• Instructions:
• • Choose a topic.
• • Write two competencies students should
show.
• Format:
• Subject | Topic | Outcome | Competency
Example: Identifying Competencies
• Science - Light: Explains reflection.
• English - Reading: Interprets inferences.
• Maths - Percentages: Applies in real-life.
• SST - Government: Explains citizen roles.
Activity 2: Design CBL Questions
• Task: Create 3 questions - Knowledge,
Application, Higher Order.
• Template:
• Level | Question | Competency | Bloom’s
Level
Group Work Guidelines
• • Work in subject teams.
• • Finalize best 3 questions.
• • Ensure clear competencies.
• • Be ready to share.
Peer Sharing & Discussion
• • Present one question.
• • Identify competency & Bloom’s level.
• • Receive feedback and refine.
Reflection
• Think & Write:
• • What changes will I make in assessment?
• • How can I include competencies?
• • What support do I need?
Key Takeaways
• ✅ NEP 2020 promotes skill mastery.
• ✅ Competency = K + S + A.
• ✅ Bloom’s Taxonomy guides design.
• ✅ Focus on understanding & application.
• ✅ Teachers drive classroom change.
Action Plan
• Next Steps:
• • Revisit outcomes.
• • Write competencies per unit.
• • Design one CBL test monthly.
• • Share & review with peers.
