Abstract
The competency-based learning approach is known as one of the best approaches to support the development of competencies related to the exercise of a profession. However, students' lack of experience with online learning leads us to reconsider its feasibility and effectiveness. This paper aims to understand how the adoption of the competency-based learning approach for an "emergency course" administered during the Covid 19 pandemic could support students' competencies. Students (N = 54) filled out self-report on various dimensions underlying their learning experience and the competencies targeted by the course. A qualitative research approach supported by the Similarity analysis and the Descending Hierarchical Classification was adopted to study the data collected. This contribution pointed out students' preference for synchronous over asynchronous learning and the effects of the reflexive breaks on competency-based learning.
