DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW METACOGNITIVE SELF-REGULATED MODEL OF COMPETENCY

Résumé

Since 2017, the University of Aix-Marseille (AMU) has engaged in a pedagogical transformation towards a Competency-Based Approach (CBA). Nevertheless, the evaluation of competencies is not yet operational. The transition to a CBA implies a pedagogical paradigm shift: what is evaluated here is not only students' performance (the result of their activity) but also their ability to achieve this result (the mental processes that lead to performance). In order to make CBA operational, it is essential to go beyond traditional evaluation systems since these systems focus almost exclusively on the productive character of competence (performance). Indeed, some conceptions of CBA are still influenced by an empiricist and behaviourist approach and tend to reduce competence to its observable manifestations, leaving aside its constructive character. The difficulty of creating new tools to assess competencies lies in the lack of socio-constructivist models that give their rights due to the learner's cognitive activity and social acceptability. The present model aims to anchor CBA in the Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) theories and, more specifically, to define competency through the metacognitive approach. Metacognitive analysis, judgments, and controls are necessary for students to plan and regulate their activity according to what is asked of them in a specific situation. To be competent, students must be performative and consciously explain the mental processes that lead them to acceptable performance. Also, for a student to be competent, a third party must validate their knowledge and abilities. Competence is certificative. Competency is a conscious mental ability that translates into socially acceptable behaviour. This model aims to present competence through a fuller scope, including its productive, constructive, and social characteristics. The practical use of this model would allow for the implementation of new and more robust competency assessment tools.
