A Training Program to Develop the Culture of Competency-Based Assessment among Preparatory Stage Teachers in the Asir Region

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of adopting a training program aimed at cultivating a culture of competency-based evaluation among teachers in the preparatory stage within the Asir region. A cohort study was undertaken to examine teachers who were associated with preparatory schools situated in the Asir region. The study consisted of a cohort of 24 educators, with an equal distribution of 10 teachers in both the experimental and control groups. The findings of the study indicated a statistically significant improvement in post-test scores related to the acquisition and development of the culture of competency-based evaluation for the experimental group, as compared to the control group. No statistically significant difference was seen in the scores of the experimental group and the control group in relation to their culture of competency-based evaluation, both immediately after the intervention and during the later follow-up assessment.
