# Preface
Together with the international educative community, Cameroon has introduced in its educational system, the competence based approach (CBA).
This approach completes or at least reinforces the objective based approach which was presenting the teacher as the holder of knowledge. The competence based approach on the contrary, puts the leaner at the centre of all the pedagogic preoccupations, enkindles in the student, a transposition of the knowledge acquired, skills and attitudes in active life in order to transform him into a model citizen.
The introduction of this new paradigm in the Cameroon school milieu in general, and in the teaching of PES in particular, could not happen without difficulties.
The difficulties include:
- Little mastery of the “competency based approach” by many teachers on the field;
- Inadequacy between training and the exigencies of the new approach in the curricular plan.
This non exhaustive list of elements was a limit to the implementation and to the adhesion by the teacher in general, and particularly by those in charge of PES.
The interest of this memento is to ease the comprehension of the "competence based approach" concept and also to serve as a bridge between teachers already working and those still undergoing training.

# Preamble
This is an opportunity to contribute to the implementation of the educative project that we all pursue by teaching Physical Education and Sports.
We all know that the competence based approach (CBA) concept was introduced in our educative system some years ago.
After several seminars on the topic, the concept seems to be perceived and comprehended by the majority in different ways.
Therefore the harmonization and a harmonized comprehension of the concepts used in the new paradigm is necessary, in order to take the challenges we face as teachers of the sub-sector of Physical Education and Sports namely: to guide the leaner in the mobilization of internal resources (knowledge, abilities, skills) and external resources (documents, cards, resource persons ...) in order to face daily life problems.
Inasmuch as objectives play an undeniable key role in the teaching of large groups and ease learning from simple to complex aspects, it limits the learner to a passive position of an executor receiving instructions from the teachers directives.
