What do your students know? What can they actually do and what approaches can students develop to solve challenging problems? The KSA framework from arm.com aims to map out the knowledge, skills and abilities that students (and employees) require to succeed as technical professionals. Join us on Monday 6th October at 2pm GMT to discuss this framework its authors. From a recent blog post
We explain how the Knowlege, Skills and Abilities (KSA) framework can help optimise learning, and describe some of its possible applications. Competency describes an expected level of performance that integrates Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs). Educational and training content is a core ingredient to build KSAs, enabling learners to move from one KSA state (with levels for example, introductory, medium, advanced, expert) to another. In a learning context, the former state defines the learning pre-requisites while the latter describes the learning outcomes. We call this journey a learning path.
We’ll be joined by the authors of the framework from the education team at arm.com. All welcome, details at https://sigcse.cs.manchester.ac.uk/join-usReferences
