Although the push toward competency-based higher education is strong and increasing over the years (see e.g. Christensen & Eyring, 2011), teaching and learning competencies at the university is a demanding challenge for both students and teachers.
The Tahderiyyah curriculum is based on the principles of early childhood and development, which enhances learning competencies of young children.
An assessment of students learning competencies completed in 2011 by UNICEF, found that a displaced child attending a regular school is roughly 1.5 grades behind a typical learner who has not suffered displacement.
Through child‐to‐child interactions, the younger child develops early learning competencies and is better prepared to start school at the right age; the older child also benefits from enhanced confidence and self-esteem by taking part in the approach.
A 2010 UNICEF supported assessment of students learning competencies found that a displaced child attending a regular school is roughly 1.5 grades behind a typical learner who has not suffered displacement.
Through child‐to‐child interactions, the younger child develops early learning competencies and is better prepared to start school at the right age; the older child also benefits, by developing confidence and selfesteem in the process.
However, 10 per cent of girls and 15 per cent of boys in the primary school age group have never been enrolled in schools, and there are also high drop-out rates and low achievement in learning competencies.
Enhancing skills The revised curriculum holds so much appeal to parents because it blends the values of the Bangsamoro culture with principles of early childhood and development, enhancing learning competencies of young children.
In addition to the hierarchy of the assessment process, it is important to consider the three domains of learning competencies being measured: knowledge (cognitive), skills (psychomotor) and attitudes (affective).
Breaking down each project into target, result and learned competencies shows relevant skills and achievements in context.
