A Shift From Content Mastery To Skill
Application
BY
DR SUSHMA SINGH
Understanding competency-based Education (CBE).
Exploring its significance in Social Science classrooms.
Practical strategies for implementing CBE.
Strategies to attempt competency based questions
• KNOWLEDGE – Observable
• ATTITUDE (Ability) – Measurable
• SKILLS - Performance Based
Competency
• What CBA is and how it focuses on students'
application of knowledge, skills, and attitudes
(abilities) in real-life contexts.
• Difference between traditional education and
competency-based education.
What is Competency-Based
Education?
Share your understanding or
experiences with competency-based
learning or assessment.
CBE aligns with the goals of CBSE and prepares students for
real-world challenges.
Critical Thinking
Problem Solving
Communication
Asking students to
examine the causes
and consequences of
a historical event or
evaluate the
effectiveness of a
government policy.
Instead of direct answers,
CBA often asks students to
demonstrate their thought
process and problem-solving
skills.
Example: Students analyze a
civic issue (e.g., water crisis
or waste management) and
propose sustainable
solutions..
• Activities like mock
interviews or
debates help
assess
communication,
critical thinking,
and collaboration
skills in real-time.
RECOMMENDATIONS OF NEP -2020
• Away from Rote Learning – Leaning how to learn
• Flexibility in choosing the subject
• Ethical and Moral Reasoning
• Gender Sensitivity
• Citizenship Skills
• Focus on Scientific Temperament
• Language Proficiency
• Mathematics and Mathematical Thinking
• Data Science, Artificial Intelligence
• Shift in the focus of Assessment
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL EDUCATION AND
COMPETENCY-BASED EDUCATION
Aspect Traditional Education
Competency-Based
Education (CBE)
Focus
Memorization and recall of
content.
Application of knowledge,
skills, and attitudes.
Nature of Questions
Direct, fact-based, objective
questions.
Open-ended, situational,
problem-solving tasks.
Learning Outcomes
Not always explicitly
defined or linked to real-
world relevance.
Well-defined competencies
aligned with practical
applications.
Assessment Method
Written exams with limited
interaction.
Varied methods: role plays,
projects, portfolios, peer
reviews.
Feedback
Often delayed and focuses
on marks or grades.
Timely, constructive
feedback that highlights
areas for growth.
Student Role
Passive receiver of
knowledge; focus on getting
the “right answer.”
Active participant; focus on
process, reasoning, and
creativity.
Adaptability One-size-fits-all approach.
Personalized to individual
Tools for Assessing Competencies
• Through Rubrics
• Portfolio – Physical, E-Portfolio
• Integrated assessment with teaching
• Adaptive Assessments
1. Use of Technological Tools
2. School Based Assessment
3. Child Centered Assessment
4. Cooperative Learning and Peer Based Assessment
•The NEP 2020 calls for a shift from (an assessment system)
that is summative and primarily test rote memorization skills
to one that is more regular and formative, is more
competency based, promotes learning , development of
students analysis, critical thinking and conceptual clarity.
•Competency based education (CBE) is an approach to
teaching, learning and assessment that focuses on the
students demonstration of learning outcomes and attaining
proficiency in particular competencies in each subject.
•Teaching which uses a CBE methodology works
to empower students and provide them with a
meaningful & positive learning experience.
•It places the learner at the center and actively
engages them in learning process.
•It emphasizes real-world applications of
Knowledge , skills and authenticity of the learning
experience
•Equity (Equal opportunities for all)
•Differentiated support based on students
individual learning needs
•Progress based on evidence of mastery rather
than time in the classroom
•The use of formative assessment, particularly
peer and self assessment, where students are
encouraged to reflect their own work and identify
areas for improvement
•.
•.
Traditional Assessment Example:
Question: List the causes of the Revolt of 1857.
• This focuses on recall and rote memorization.
Competency-Based Assessment Example:
Task: Imagine you are a newspaper reporter in 1857.Write a report describing the
Revolt of 1857 from your region’s perspective. Include key events, causes, and
reactions of the people.
○ This evaluates historical empathy, writing skills, analysis, and application of
knowledge in a real-world format.

WAYS AND STRATEGIES TO ATTEMPT COMPETENCY-
BASED QUESTIONS IN CBSE BOARD
Competency-based questions (CBQs) in Social Science assess students'
ability to apply concepts, skills, and values to real-life, civic, economic,
geographic, and historical contexts.
CBSE’s question papers now include case-based, source-based, and situation-
based questions that promote critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-
solving linked to real-world applications in society.
CBSE question papers typically include these types of CBQs:
1. Case-Based Questions: Involves a real-life situation or a
case study followed by comprehension and analytical
questions.
2.Situation-Based Questions: Relates to day-to-day
experiences or tasks.
3.Higher-Order Thinking Questions: Requires critical
thinking, reasoning, or creative problem-solving.
4.Integrated Questions: Combines multiple concepts or
disciplines.
1. Remembering (Recall facts and basic concepts)
Q: When and where was the Non-Cooperation
Movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi?
2. Understanding (Explain ideas or concepts)
Q: Explain the significance of the Khilafat Movement
in strengthening Hindu-Muslim unity during the freedom struggle.
.
3.Applying (Use information in new situations)
Q: Imagine you are a student in 1921 during the
Non-Cooperation Movement.What steps would you take to
support the movement in your locality?
4.Analyzing (Draw connections among ideas)
Q: Compare the impact of the Non-Cooperation Movement
in the urban areas and the countryside. How were they different?
.
.
5. Evaluating (Justify a stand or decision)
Q: Do you think Gandhi's decision to call off the
Non-Cooperation Movement after the Chauri Chaura
incident was justified? Give reasons for your answer.
6. Creating (Produce new or original work)
Q: Create a slogan or a message that could have been used during the
Non-Cooperation Movement to motivate people to join.
