Bases of Competence:A Framework for Facilitating Reflective Learner-Centered Educational Environments

摘要

As the business world becomes more complex, the role of professional higher education in the development of "reflective practitioners" becomes more cogent. In this article, the authors argue for the Bases of Competence model, which articulates base competencies required of today's higher education professional graduates, as a tool in learner-centered, self-reflective pedagogy and self-assessment.The purpose of this article is to describe the Bases of Competence model and to demonstrate its use in two learner-centered, self-reflective course-level initiatives.
