CURRICULUM GUIDEBOOK
While an objective describes ‘what’ we expect learners to achieve, competencies identify
‘how’ learners can achieve that objective. Competencies are specific activities used to
measure whether or not learners have mastered the objective. In Table 1 below, the
learner must master competencies 2.1 and 2.2 (taupe boxes) to demonstrate mastery of
the objective. Where objectives demonstrate the end result, competencies are a means
to that end.
Competencies provide a framework for selecting instructional materials and
techniques and provide a basis for determining when instruction has been
successful.
