Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to encourage the expansion of research in postsecondary competency-based education (CBE) by providing specific directions for further study and outlining paths for other researchers, practitioners, and policymakers alike to inform useful research. The authors make the case that the continued development of postsecondary CBE programs relies on effective research to inform program development, growth, and expansion. In this context, the authors examine the primary audiences for research and their interests, the current barriers and enablers to conducting studies about CBE, key directions for a future research agenda, and a snapshot of what is known about those critical topics to date.
