Outcome based education is a global reform trend of higher education in recent decades. A studentcenter and learning outcomes-oriented peer evaluation system of nursing education was initiated by the accreditation and promotion of Taiwan Nursing Accreditation Council in 2006. Traditional learning process is teacher-oriented and content-focused. In outcome based education, learning process needs to be shifted to a student-oriented and competence-focused. This shift of teaching paradigm is a great challenge to teachers. In this paper, we introduced the Competency Outcomes Performance Assessment Model proposed by Lenburg (1999) as a framework for designing a curriculum that is competence-based. Four elements comprised the model are described and discussed, including specifying competency outcomes, conversion of objectives outcome statements, most effective ways of learning competencies, and creating competency performance examination and assessments. Faculty who are interested in competence-based teaching may use the framework as a guide to develop teaching activities and bring favorable outcomes. |
