Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore a competency-based curriculum model and an instructional design plan using PDCA model in university education. Methods To achive this purpose the components and design principles of the draft competency-based curriculum development model using PDCA were derived through a review of prior literature. This study conducted a total of three Delphi surveys on expert panels in the field. Results The components of the finalized competency-based curriculum development model are as follows. A total of 62 components in 21 categories with 11 sub-stages under four stages (Plan, Do, Check, and Act) were developed for the competency-based curriculum using the PDCA cycle. Components of the “Plan” Stage include educational environment analysis, core competency development, and educational goal establishment. The “Do” Stage comprises of needs analysis, university infrastructure analysis, curriculum design, and evaluation method development. The “Check” Stage has components such as competency-based curriculum evaluation, and the assessment of learners’ competency improvement. The components of the “Act” Stage consist of leap-off toward reinforcement and new plan establishment. Conclusions This study is meaningful in that it established a systematic, cyclical competency-based curriculum development model in terms of the quality management of university education curriculum using the PDCA cycle. In addition, for professors to provide competency-based classes, it developed an instructional design model for competency-based curriculum of university education so that it can be used as a basic material for developing instructional strategy.
