Abstract

Competency-based curriculum reform has fundamentally reshaped German higher education since the Bologna Process, shifting educational paradigms from content-centred knowledge transmission to outcome-oriented competence development. This study examines the implementation, challenges, and outcomes of competency-based curriculum reform across German universities and universities of applied sciences, drawing upon national policy frameworks, institutional case studies, and empirical evidence from teacher training and vocational education contexts. Germany's approach is distinguished by the 2005 Qualifications Framework for German Higher Education Degrees, the integration of the European Qualifications Framework, and the systematic embedding of competence orientation within modularised study programmes. The research identifies four critical dimensions of reform: the formulation of learning outcomes at programme, module, and course levels; the transformation of teaching methods toward student-centred, action-oriented pedagogies; the development of competence-based assessment formats; and the alignment of accreditation procedures with competency criteria. Findings indicate that while formal compliance with competence orientation has been widely achieved, substantive implementation of the associated didactic transformations remains uneven across disciplines and institutions. Persistent challenges include the tension between academic scientific training and professional employability, the difficulty of assessing complex competences through traditional examination formats, and the gap between intended curriculum designs and enacted classroom practices. The study concludes that sustainable competency-based reform requires sustained investment in faculty development, systematic approaches to competence progression across study programmes, and institutional cultures that value educational innovation alongside research excellence. These insights contribute to the broader European discourse on the Bologna Process and offer actionable recommendations for higher education systems navigating similar transitions.

Abstract

This study aims to explore effective Public Relations (PR) strategies in building and maintaining a positive image of Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Jadid in the public eye. With a qualitative approach and a case study design, this study employed participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation to collect data. The results indicate that the PR strategies implemented by Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Jadid involve digitalization, alumni networking, and community activities. Digitalization increases interaction and strengthens relationships with audiences, while alumni networking supports reputation and saves resources. Community activities are important for building emotional closeness with the surrounding community. Although challenges in terms of consistency, adequate resources, and innovation remain, the combination of digital and physical strategies, along with transparent documentation, has a positive impact on the madrasah's image. This study recommends that madrasahs continue to balance digital approaches with physical activities to remain relevant and increase public trust.
