Show Notes

In this episode, Dr Kerr Castle introduces a discussion of how the core concepts of competence-based education compare with those of more traditional educational models and how the purposes of assessment might be reimagined through competence-based education. 

He is joined by Mike Ewen, the Head of the Teaching Academy at the University of Hull, along with Dr Dom Henri, Senior Lecturer in Zoology, and Dr Andrew Holmes, Senior Lecturer in Education, both also at Hull. They are members of a team that has led a QAA-funded Collaborative Enhancement Project focused on Generating a competence-based education framework.

The same team have now moved on to develop a new Collaborative Enhancement Project on A Competence-Based Assessment Framework.
