Beyond Primary Education: Challenges of and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in AfricaAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education Session 6A: Curriculum for Post-Primary Education Processes of curriculum change and competency-based approaches in basic education within an interregional perspective Presenter: Renato Opertti ADEA 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond Primary Education: Challenges and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in Africa

Beyond Primary Education: Challenges of and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in AfricaAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education Problem statement  Competency-based approaches to curricula change – advances made and challenges to address  Objective: to contribute to the understanding and sharing of concepts and tools on an inter-regional basis aimed at providing examples for the expansion, enlargement and democratization of post-primary education in Africa.  Areas of debate: i. how to envisage the education systems and learners’ diversities and ii. the controversial and polysemic nature of the concept of competencies.

Beyond Primary Education: Challenges of and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in AfricaAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education Share practices inter-regionally  Common challenge: how competency-based approaches could be core tools of education reforms  Canada: close gaps between programmes of study and real life classroom experiences  China: cultivate competencies through practical situations  Guatemala: integrative learning situations as a tool to implement a macro curricular structure competency- based (from vision to practice)  Uruguay: competency approaches as the main focus of curriculum design and implementation ADEA 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond Primary Education: Challenges and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in Africa

Beyond Primary Education: Challenges of and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in AfricaAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education Diverse processes and results  Canada: bank of situations based on the actions of students feed the study programmes (competent action in situation)  China: cross-disciplinary studies and elective courses to help break a subject-centered curricula  Guatemala: pedagogy of integration- teachers fell at ease using classroom situations and students enjoy them  Uruguay: the competency approach as a cross-cutting dimension of a comprehensive curricular vision ADEA 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond Primary Education: Challenges and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in Africa

Beyond Primary Education: Challenges of and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in AfricaAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education Challenges ahead  Need of a more open, frank and evidence-based discussion around competencies  Competency-based approaches should be incorporated into the curricula structure, the design of study programmes, the school and the classrooms  Learning situations as the origin and criterion of competencies  Competencies can help the visualization of students as learning actors and not as learning targets  The reforms of basic and teachers’ education should be articulated ADEA 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond Primary Education: Challenges and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in Africa

Beyond Primary Education: Challenges of and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in AfricaAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) Biennale 2008 on Post-Primary Education An opportunity towards EFA  Latin American experience: competency-based approaches can contribute to expand years of schooling and to democratize learning opportunities. Not conclusive evidence on students´ outcomes.  Competency approaches could be seen as a main entrance to design a curricular framework for basic education (objectives, structures and contents).  A competency-based curriculum can better visualize learners’ diversities leading to an inclusive curriculum. One renovated way of addressing EFA goals? ADEA 2008 Biennale on Education in Africa Beyond Primary Education: Challenges and Approaches to Expanding Learning Opportunities in Africa
