COMPETENCY-BASED INSTRUCTION IN THE DEPARTMENT OF OCCUPATION

Abstract

The instruction of the occupational department at present aims for students to have the knowledge, understanding, and basic skills necessary for living. Have work skills in order for students to develop various competencies; however, there are problems in instruction about occupation at present. Most of the time, they are still taught in a lecture-based learning style and there is still a lack of process that will allow students to practice skills that will create competency. However, developing students to have various competencies is still an important thing for teachers to do to develop learning management models so that students have the competencies necessary for work problem solving, and living. However, the instructions should allow students to demonstrate their expertise, focus on putting knowledge into practice, and set high expectations. So, teachers can use the integrated competency-based instruction approach combining multiple competencies. Because that takes what actually happens in life, society, and the world in relation to the learner and connects it with content, skills, and attitudes.
