'''[[Competition]]-based learning''' ('''CBL''') is a [[Student-centred learning|student-centered]] [[pedagogy]] that combines [[Project-based learning]] and [[competition]]s.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}} CBL also utilizes [[Team-based learning]] (or Active Collaborative Learning, ACL) and [[Problem-based learning]] paradigms. Competition-based learning involves a team of students in an open-ended assignments or projects that resembles some problems students may face at the work place or in the real-world. However, the performance is being evaluated on the final completion of the project or task assigned in the course as a comparison to other groups. The aspiration is to create motivation in the students to come up with the best overall project. CBL learning relies on the competition results.

Competition is good in the sense that it discourages complacency and raises students’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>{{Citation|last1=Sukiman |first1=S.A.|last2=Yusop |first2=H. |last3=Mokhtar |first3=R.|last4=Jaafar |first4=N.
