17. Questions to be answered before we design a
competency based lesson or assignment.
• What is the key competence?
– Maths, Science/Technology , ICT?
• What is the workprocess?
– Calculations, Experiments, Installing?
• Which perfomance indicator? (What the
student needs to …know, can or do?)
– Which knowledge do we need?
– Which skills are requiered?
– Which (and how) competencies must be
accomplished?
And at what ‘reference’ level!?!?
