- Summary:
-
This paper is a descriptive presentation of the state-of-the-art of competency-based adult education (CBAE). Readers are provided first with a brief history of the development of the concept and are presented with basic terminology. Then, because CBAE is multi-dimensional, varied notions of functional adult education are discussed and major strands of diversified program and instructional processes are described. In addition, administrative perspectives and current research issues are presented. The paper provides background for understanding the current status and direction of several CBAE programs. It reflects the current base of limited written resources and the supplementing of discussions with personal communication. It presents an overview of the nature of CBAE, the foundations of a CBAE process, the scope of CBAE systems, teaching/learning strategies, administrative trends and issues, and the current state of the research in this area. Tables illustrate (1) APL model of functional competency, examples of tasks, and (2) five-state comparison of adult alternative programs. Appended materials include a list of potential resources concerning programs, bibliographies and product listings, and suggested readings. (CT)
