DESIGNING THE ASSESSMENT FOR A COMPETENCE – BASED CURRICULUM. A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The article presents a synthesis and an analysis of the literature aiming to create conceptual framework for the assessment of the competence based‐curriculum. Contemporary orientations in education promote the necessity and the importance of the competences development through an adequate curriculum design. In this context the curriculum assessment becomes extremely important because its role is to provide information about the effectiveness and functionality of the education process and of the education system, as a whole, in order to improve it. In this study we aim to define and describe the processuality implied by the assessment of a competence‐based curriculum, analysing the levels and the stages that are involved.
