Skills-based learning is where we teach students a specific skill. This not only allows us to teach a student how to achieve the correct answer in the practice that we use, but it also helps students to achieve the correct answer in every instance they see the same skill. Utilizing the same method, they would be able to replicate the same process, leading them to achieve their maximum potential time and time again. Skill-based instruction lays out the foundation for each skill that may have been missed or not mastered in standard instruction. Once we have instilled a new skill, the student will practice with a practitioner and/or at home, then it will be done by the student on his/her own, demonstrating true mastery of the skill taught.
Importance
In skill-based learning, students are groomed to become successful leaders in their chosen field. To facilitate this process, it is paramount for students to think beyond grades and acquire real life skills. These tangible experiences are often overlooked in the traditional form of education
Skills-based learning allows the students to replicate this process later in their lives, when they will be studying in college in their undergraduate and graduate studies.
Tools of skill based learning
We utilize what we call “project based learning module ” in which the students will be able to take notes on the information that they learn during their respective sessions.
The module include:
- home assignment,
- discussion series
- project
- seminar series
All students are given the same strategies, but they are different from what is seen in other practices.
