Abstract
Background and goals:
In contrast to the time-based education approach, which emphasizes the completion of a course or class or a specific topic within a set time frame, competency-based education focuses more on personalized learning and enables students with Learn at your own pace, time and understanding. In the competency-based education system, students go to higher levels of learning after demonstrating mastery of concepts and skills. The main goal of competency-based education is to give every student an equal opportunity to master the necessary skills and become a The adult person is successful. In competency-based education, the focus is on personalized learning and it allows students to learn at their own pace, time and understanding, and after demonstrating mastery of concepts and skills, go to higher levels of learning. This research has been done with the aim of identifying and providing a fuzzy recognition map of the antecedents of competency-based education as a tool for personalizing education.
Methods: The statistical population includes experts in the field of planning and educational technology in education in Lorestan, using the purposeful sampling method and based on the principle of theoretical adequacy, a total of 25 people were examined as a research sample. In the qualitative part, by conducting semi-structured interviews with experts, and conducting content analysis using MAXQDA software, 8 components were identified and extracted as precursors of competency-based education. Finally, in the second (quantitative) phase, the fuzzy Delphi technique has been used in order to verify and verify the extracted components as well as their prioritization.
Findings: The prioritization of the antecedents of competency-based education showed that personal learning paths are the most important key factor for the success of the alignment program. Also, the components of "student as the main driver", "differentiation of learning and curriculum" and flexibility of the educational environment" were placed in the second, third and fourth priorities, respectively.
Conclusion: Given that personal learning paths are the most important key factor in the success of the alignment program. Therefore, in order to implement competency-based training programs, it was suggested that students be allowed to progress at their own pace based on their individual abilities and previous knowledge. Also, the student should be considered as the main driver and the students should be empowered to have more control over the speed and direction of their learning. Finally, it is necessary to design competency-based education in a way that is learner-centered and provides personal and flexible learning opportunities for students, and emphasizes the role of technology in providing students with access to resources, interactive learning materials, and opportunities for collaboration and Focus on communication. . Also, based on the findings of the Fuzzy Delphi, considering the role of feedback and continuous support as a basic prerequisite in competency-based education, it can be suggested that teachers, coaches and peers help students by providing guidance and constructive feedback to improve areas. In order to personalize education, it is necessary that schools based on competency-based education provide the learner with several ways to show their competency.
