Using a Competency Model for Curriculum Development and Enhancement
Competency models assist curriculum developers to:– Develop competency-based training objectives and
outcomes– Tailor courses to specific student populations or
industry needs– Evaluate and update existing program content – Identify gaps between curriculum outcome objectives
and employer expectations.
Using a Competency Model to Conduct Curriculum Gap Analysis
Basic Steps
1. Indentify the competencies of interest on your competency model
2. Identify the courses which participants might take under your curriculum
3. For each competency of interest, identify the course in which that competency is taught. Consider:– To what extent are all the needed skills/information for that
competency taught?– How will you know if participants gain the skills and knowledge
needed?
4. Identify any competency for which there is no course. These are your “gaps”. Consider:– Where else might they get this information or skill?– Is there a course which could include this information or is an
additional course needed?
