Abstract
This chapter portrays the development of the competency-based curriculum and its intended learning outcome on students’ ability to self-regulate. The rise of Industry 4.0 has impacted on, and created enormous challenges for, school education to develop a competent workforce that will sustain economic growth. A competency-based curriculum has been formulated to address human capital development for the 21st century. It necessarily incorporates contemporary skills, Learning to Learn and student self-regulation. The curriculum is characterised by nurturing students’ ability to regulate cognitive strategies for effective learning as the intended learning outcome. This chapter articulates the need for regulation of cognitive learning strategies for effective learning as the intended outcome of the curriculum.
