== Background and
The real-world is competitive and [[competition]] has been used in teaching and learning throughout the human history around the world. Countries such as England, Singapore, and South Korea have [[special education]] programs which cater for specialist students, prompting charges of [[academic elitism]]. Currently, academic competitions are popular. According to [https://www.competitionsciences.org/about-ics/ The Institute of Competition Sciences] retrieved on May 30, 2020, over 4,000,000 students participate in educational competitions in over 500 competitions across all academic subject they monitor in their network.
Many practitioners in education claim that CBL can enhance students' motivation to work harder and the learning outcomes since they are more excited about the project and potential rewards.

Competition is good in the sense that it discourages complacency and raises students' consciousness of the value of good outcomes. As a result, the keener the competition, the higher the output among students. This is manifested not only in high individual averages, but in overall high class averages. It is, therefore, a very effective tool to keep your high achievers achieving.<ref>[https://owlcation.com/academia/studentrivalry The Value of Competition in the Classroom]</ref> Other benefits of CBL include the enhancement of problem-solving, creative thinking, and teamwork skills.<ref>{{

Some people think in class competition is not good, since it is discouraging when others always seem to do better than you. Critics of competition as a motivating factor in education systems, such as [[Alfie Kohn]], argue that competition actually has a net negative influence on the achievement levels of students.

Competition can easily lead to stress, anxiety and disappointment, especially if it promotes academic competition between "individual" students.<ref>[https://www.bu.edu/wheelock/classroom-competition/ Classroom Competition by Will English, Retrieved on May 31, 2020]</ref> This stress can force students to push back other interests and extracurricular activities, leading to an unbalanced school life. A poor competition result may affect students' emotions or hurt their confidence. If a competition does not provide students with a goal that is attainable for nearly everyone, the activity becomes unbalanced, with some jumping ahead and others ending up left in the dust. This is the kind of competition that will lead to a diminished desire to participate in related activities or subject fields. An unhealthy competition may be one that is focused on winning instead of moving toward on learning a new skill or working as a team.<ref>[https://brainly.in/question/6736137 Disadvantages of competition in education process, Retrieved on May 31, 2020]</ref> Therefore, the design of CBL methodologies needs to
