Abstract
Thailand's curriculum has shifted away from standards-based curriculum, in which standard indicators are established to clearly state the body of knowledge, skills, and characteristics that learners must attain. A competency-based curriculum focuses on developing learners' competencies by integrating knowledge, skills, and attributes for successful performance. It also emphasizes measuring and evaluating curriculum in light of current circumstances by employing a variety of measurement and evaluation methods in order to help learners develop competence in accordance with the curriculum. In order to create an effective competency-based curriculum or implement a competency-based curriculum to its full potential, those involved in the management of education, whether curriculum makers or course teachers, must understand the competency-based curriculum in order to correctly apply the information to various levels. The book entitled “Development of Competency-Based Curriculum and Meaningful Learning Management” is a tool for understanding about competency-based curriculum by providing about concepts and guidelines for developing curriculum makers and teachers.
