Pobirchenko N. S. Competency-based Approach in Higher Education: a Theoretical Perspective

Pobirchenko N. S., Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, Chair, Department of Social Pedagogy and History of Pedagogy; Rector, Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University; Corresponding Member, National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine.

Abstract
The article examines the emergence of and research into the category of “competency-based” approach in the context of the Bologna process in Ukraine . The author discusses the difference between the notions of “competency” and “competency-based approach”, characterizes the peculiarities of competency-based approach implementation in higher education, namely its student-centeredness and orientation at job placement of prospective specialists. The comparative analysis of the new category and the traditional triadic knowledge – skills – abilities model suggests that the two approaches should not be opposed due to their relatedness.

Key words: competency, competency-based approach, the conceptual triad “knowledge – skills – abilities” (KSA), The Bologna Process.
