Structuring Competency-Based Courses Through Skill Trees

From the requirements - or rather desired properties.<p>&gt; Subskills cover skills<p>Isn&#x27;t this requirement a common fallacy in education?<p>First, just because you know skill A and skill B does not mean you can automatically do both A and B together. (Of course it helps!)<p>Assume you&#x27;re learning a to play piece of music. If you learn a given sequence [A, B] and start with individually learning the parts A and B you&#x27;d still have to practice the transition.<p>Second, just because you know a composite skill does not mean you can do each part individually.<p>Again assume you&#x27;ve learned to play a part of a piece of music and the notes constituting this part can be decomposed as [A, B]. Then you&#x27;d not directly know how to play B on it&#x27;s own because you&#x27;ve propably learnt to enter B transitioning from A.<p>Still: I think the overvall approach is interesting. Just the details might be a bit off.

Exercism.org takes this approach; I’m not sure if it’s super pedagogically-driven or more about making it fun and keeping a sense of progression (maybe it can be both?)<p>I wonder which fields of knowledge are resistant to being structured like this from a learning perspective.

This idea is probably more interesting if applied to software engineering <i>management</i>. There is a bit of a competency crisis among software managers where it isn&#x27;t possible to tell whether they are any good at what they are allegedly doing.<p>The kneejerk reaction of most businesses seems to be either metrics that don&#x27;t really work or relying on hypercompetent individuals in the higher parts of the management tree. Neither approach works particularly well. But I haven&#x27;t seen a skill tree style competency training &amp; testing approach and I suspect it&#x27;d work better than the apparent status quo. At least on paper the managers have been trained to do something instead of just dumping smart people into the role and hoping that they figure it out.<p>For example someone can get certified in Agile and that is ... in some sense a bit silly because then they just spend the rest of their life noticing that most people don&#x27;t use Agile. But a skill-based approach to the components of Agile development and training them to raise hackles in particular situations where people make common bad architectural decisions would cause productive cultural shifts. I suppose the sort of training that gets done doesn&#x27;t go far enough.

Modeling mastery as a set of skills to be acquired with prerequisites and requirements is clearly valuable. Visualization can serve as a map that guides learners.<p>Universities employ this on a larger scale - degrees require classes that require passing grades and prerequisites. I like the idea of using it for smaller-scale learning like lessons, classes, and job training.

a &quot;Hard Problem&quot; with this approach is that it needs definable, enumerable &quot;skills.&quot; real-world skills often involve flexibly combining tools and tactics in new ways. but not impossible to overcome (LLMs might be uniquely suited to help there actually - coming up with new scenarios etc.)

This makes a great deal of sense to me. If it&#x27;s demonstratably effective I&#x27;d love to see higher education incorporate it.<p>As a side note, I&#x27;m thinking about pursuing an MSc at Georgia Tech OMSC. I wonder if the online nature of it takes into account this kind of skill tree, or if it&#x27;s more traditional.

It looks pretty akin to mathacademy.com, which is fantastic for brushing up on math concepts.

looks like mathacademy&#x27;s approach which I&#x27;ve found to be extremely effective. I wish more moocs used this model of teaching.

&gt;Computer science education has seen two important trends. One has been a shift from raw theory towards skills: competency-based teaching.<p>There is no greater skill in computer science, science or mathematics than a deep understanding of theory. It is the understanding of how distinct things fit together, nothing could be as helpful. Yes, even when developing a JS web app.

The PDF cites Justin&#x27;s book about Math Academy.<p>I like how the paper lays out clearly the steps to create a skill tree, and some general guidelines.<p>The paper is perfect for use as part of an LLM prompt, e.g.<p><pre><code> Using the approach detailed in the attached paper, create a skill tree for writing a magical realism novela. Turn this into mermaid code. Don&#x27;t use parentheses in labels. </code></pre> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mermaid.live&#x2F;edit#pako:eNqNWH9v2zgS_SqEFvufW8SWm228wAKJ7RTFpW1Qp1ngNocDTVMWEYnUUZJTb5Hvfm9ISpYUpXcFitgy-Tg_3rwZ6kckzE5Gi2hveZGyu9WDZvh3-ddD9KdVlWSc3dbbTJUp32aSfeJ7JXjGvkqOZzn7bA4yy_hD9C_25s0f7ArbVhKPTMGWxkq2qYw9snUmc6mrkiXGDiGwNRzpEJZA-MTLSlr2mVvLK3WQ7E6KVKv_1PL_QVgBYf1dihrGV6lk5IbSe3ZrjZClR-Adw7t719j7VSZKw2-9Y-udqhzG624_aL__yvs_dQFoAT7qSiKw1UuEJiStAQ5kGlA4YK4sV7pE_HIHtZGZFBW7LAprCqu6mK9g8Qbs38vpj4doabSQRbVg3_RO2rICKIVlaNihZNdcV7w8sk1tbRPi51eQZ13ku2OBFJlkxLLnES-3RDLJDy89gbc8z5Ct7MiUrgwS5u2rlMBvFSV04O22AR14-8Ga2nvaTaTS_it-4loOzOtA9dz7hIRU-E9glFmrgXRjgNij5c-dFkRPXdZ21GtLbE9lzslRYC5TbrmgaghlRQsHnosGeeD55phvjcsp8eeTrFDggITrLwrouUfiGUxcWp5UqOG8ANHJ4daSpoKGxMG5lfw-MG4WEHlHGE6Z7GA-qSplVzJT8uCFxqDyEQWjB7Se8QZy4O4pVJdWpLJyXCTPP9ccS_rZ6KL0cnxbHkVqMjMeoJ5PRN9Nap46J2O9cDYzcPZFei9rcE5X9DA7DrzaNqADrz6j_mHD3y4UVJyXkAQNOSZIymX38LLA0XLc2g7vOmFfWdJXKoXbzFRe9MCa3dGxUJ5iH6gRuzyWaq_BgKVJpSUz3N6erkL4bS0qnNb3Mw4wxIcvdZWRUP5DHj3CrVEvVCzmzY4XgfEH3XJB9HQSKUwx8L45j3J1EuNNvS1wILKUck9yn6IgEYgq2TNueSeOzugbsNryPbg2LAgKyDfXttjdEwhfUkEjSSarR3gdi-aAgaPuFNSOQvdia50SmXdse3xdb0Ku5mQpdN51b6TmXh3UzrelPEfyKfOjWjoP-ylJy9SYUo7prw-e4JpdCmHy3Oz-d0-a8wZ64ORllZuyIDo5A-8MePEToeqZSbn9VpIvuqRpYwWlU5krwSvbCH9rtGE3KpHjDndy26z_qJOslppi31ZIWz-d_r_00wv1_zXoZI5YydZJgp5NcT7NMvcGiXQwju7ULe-VfGK3X-57Ri2nAZGyEJo_xbrT_19u4c2eQXg_5gUMprOwh0FIvoK13Os6rfEff9rAWnu2bkLzndCJgC7BC6qeoZOOIBinyPbSZ4HGwdKld2D5tkEfEgOaaeBuFjChgCfFc4_GrRSBFCebVopmHkC0WemIcEif63zoY9ZkPWGpy0I6Ze3aPAt7KEH3HMQDASuiykn8fJ5hrp-ub6Teo82RMHj0cUCK8FWtstPBaGk0xbgYftOJydxAMzJo-QOH4tUiC5c7DbkiYlNrcW3lK-jFcQqKg05Ate0CuTuxidsrwfpghI8pZuphVOKwmocEXKt9HTJww_W-prPHMuA382b3gAZjKI5eQRDL3nR3LWXWp0VjVduzV8gy7hVZNm696JJ8mXH4ffSxtVKokoKGHxpTOjqw8ncQdw9wIxTZNbxsuIXTsJK3caWl1wqjOfNbr02WmadGwUK7HIDwBmUQsC_oSlBl2uzA0euvMiMee2Fpbdh2xrONkFqGgWwJXlj2wfDMM-uutm76HenULZY48UTvkRAsX6F-zb5uFYG0p1vHBH25O_BWZlvkEM7ZibdN3w-15MpzdNZYzcJe3s3ltRF1SQoI5ULBWLAFMUsyBXl0Iw9b1a4QmnNI3yq6ig39beC3p6ax5iIltwpyaiPdKOjmYqu2uI6WTYFRcjAD0qA6jjlIJu5Vjtd_GovuAyWoen57Hw40WtLoCVno3G-fG2au_Q136q64B4XSJB3yF_TXo7iehm0UxfWBZ7XrPNQKafxzldBRyt4QXo4juRqsrMuf1KfrDo1G2in06A1yDEq43igfw2VbGFsYN-FBAXZbLh5ZYk2Oe0XFg6qBdvQ-gIYy6HKl8aSFDhEisrmbP8WnVRsfomM2CM8s7KHwQA1Nghvzzu38YHmeo3o2zQ3KyUetEWOvumtrjS3H4banFxE-6Wk7NrRd5toNJsdxgO6433RoQZdpP1sRUOiefedj54csuJVBUnVdCqsKHw5MzrkqXdY3SDW5FTLkGuCjGgjqOg6ww7spvX7gcKyDf-36kR9HW9b--quLOh1E5wsP4Cppp9BG6P7hhiEYmzPQunaXK7dXZLwsVzJpdrEE5i1-SS6SCUraPMrFL3Ech89vntSuShez4vtE4P5n3W-_d4DCm5SJf-0x8W8a_B_6Jty3GW__4OHML4n9w9gvcbPvxM9oEz_wTHzDm3gZn7j6n7iYNab_Hk0izOw5V7toEf0gsx4ichkJXODjTia8zqCbD_oZS3ldmc1Ri2iBopaTqC5oOIcMYw7Jo0UC-W2fEtWNbVYWXP_TmLzzNVr8iL5Hizez-dm7txcXZ_H59OLsbHYxPZ9Ex2gRT397G5_9Njs_m79_fx6_O3v3PIn-dhDzt_P4_bv5eTydxufzi_l0EmGM2aetAXtL7viTkEiUpxM3gJ6_f_4vJ_iHfA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mermaid.live&#x2F;edit#pako:eNqNWH9v2zgS_SqEFvufW8SWm228w...</a>
