CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Because of global developments and changes in various aspects of life that
have come so quickly, it has become a national challenge and demands immediate
and serious attention. This is very reasonable because the phenomenon in the global
era, especially related to the world of work is always characterized by uncertainty,
the faster and often change, and demand greater flexibility. This change
fundamentally demands not only a hard-working workforce, but it is also essential
to master the ability to face change and to take advantage of the change itself (soft
competence). Therefore, it becomes a challenge of vocational education to be able
to integrate these two components of competence in an integrated way in preparing
students to have the ability to work and develop in the future.
One effort to anticipate such changes and developments is to develop an
educational curriculum, especially in vocational education that provides skills and
skills to survive and compete in change, conflict, and life difficulties. One of the
strategic steps to anticipate the problem is by applying Competency Based
Curriculum.

A. Conclusion
Competency-based curriculum is a curriculum that emphasizes the complex
outcomes of a learning process (i.e. knowledge, skills and attitudes to be applied by
learners) rather than mainly focusing on what learners are expected to learn about
in terms of traditionally-defined subject content. In principle such a curriculum is
learner-centered and adaptive to the changing needs of students, teachers and
society. It implies that learning activities and environments are chosen so that
learners can acquire and apply the knowledge, skills and attitudes to situations they
encounter in everyday life.
