M.Ed. (Curriculum Studies) / The problem whether competency based modular education (CBE) programs produce better results than conventional educational methods has been investigated and discussed in this report. A comprehensive literature study indicated that the upholders of the CBE program advocated better results than the conventional educational methods in most of the instances. Most research showed positive results. An empirical research on micro-level was launched to determine whether this was the case or not. The procedure was to use a group of standard eight pupils, at a TED school in the south of Johannesburg. They were about to complete a part of the syllabus on electricity as part of this research. An experimental group and a control group was selected at random. The experimental group was sUbjected to the CBE method and the control group to the conventional method of Science teaching.
