In the current era of rapid technological advancement and global interconnectedness, higher education institutions are increasingly embracing flexible learning formats such as dual, distance, and hybrid models. These innovative approaches to education provide greater accessibility and personalization for students with diverse backgrounds, learning styles, and life circumstances. The shift towards flexible forms necessitates not only structural changes in the delivery of content but also a fundamental transformation in teaching methodologies. At the heart of these changes lies competency-based education (CBE), a framework focused on developing learners’ practical knowledge, skills, and dispositions in alignment with the needs of the labor market and society at large. The digital transformation of CBE methodology within the context of dual, distance, and hybrid education modes is both a challenge and an opportunity, requiring a re-examination of pedagogical principles in light of new technological realities.
