Metaversity Competence-based educational eco-system

Competence-based educationFrom FICCI «Mega Trends of Emerging Third Industrial Revolution in India»!

«Preparing the workforce and citezenry for the new society will require the traditional educational model, with its emphasis on rigid instruction, memorization of facts, reductionist thinking and autonomous learning.» !

(J. Rifkin)!

«The universe of abilities, skills and knowledge a person holds as inividual have been categorized under personal competencies»!

University of future

❖ From knoweledge to skills, competences!

❖ Skills of XXI century!

❖ System to evaluate and track progress!

❖ Personal trajectories!

❖ Practice-oriented education!

❖ Community oriented

Competences have issues

Our issues with competences!• The list is too long to operationalyze!• Objective evaluation!• Tracking progress and setting goals!• Linking different formats of activities!

Working with competences from 2007 !we have encountered some problems, found some solutions,!and keep prototyping the system.

Role-based model for competences

Position matrix

Each faculty creates position matrix (incl emerging jobs). Starting from simple activities with more complicated positions on the top. Competences acquired at basic level are accumulated in the next level.

Position break downl We built a graph of competences required for each

position we envision

How it works for student

Chooses position to achieve

System proposes relevant events and roles

Student chooses a role and takes part in module

Student receives feedback for his/her performance and observes progress towards his/her goal

Metaversity software

l We developed software to make this system a reality

For students

❖ Constant cooperation within the groups

❖ Individual educational trajectories with unique modules

❖ Setting a goal and moving toward it

For employers: match to position & evulation filter

Demand Evaluation

Position match = 38%

Evaluation results can be filtered: you can look for the marks made by best experts shutting of less relevant estimators!

For employers: students competence rating

For academia: program planning & educational process management

1st level focus: operational activity and business initiation

A person who can organize a small interactive event (training, discussion, board game, etc.) based on existing instruction!!

Educational program analysis and competence deficits

Total competence list = 65!!With current modules (CM)!Deficiency = 30!!With recommended modules (RM)!Deficiency =16!!

CM RM

To manage own time, to self-organize to meet deadlines, to plan the activity (self-discipline, self-organization) 2 5

To switch between several tasks keeping efficiency working simultaneously on several issues 1 1

To take responsibility, to achieve results 2 4To assess a situation and to quickly adopt to the changing

environment, to comply to new rules 2 2

Example: National Research Nuclear University MEPhICompetence analysis as education quality control

For academia: activity analysis
