Abstract

Competency-based assessment is an approach to learning evaluation that focuses on the overall achievement of student competencies, including knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This approach assesses the extent to which students are able to apply their knowledge and skills in real-life contexts, so that assessment is not only oriented towards final results but also towards the learning process itself. Competency-based assessment is considered relevant to the demands of modern education, which emphasizes the development of critical thinking, problem solving, and students' readiness to face life's challenges. This article aims to examine in depth the concept of competency-based assessment, its distinguishing features from traditional assessment, and its application in learning. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various relevant scientific sources, such as educational textbooks, scientific journals, and educational policy documents. The results of the study show that competency-based assessment encourages more authentic, sustainable, and improvement-oriented learning and contributes positively to improving the quality of the learning process and outcomes of students.
