Seminar Competence and Competence Development MA EAE Modul 4b

This seminar belongs to the study unit -Competence and Competence- Development” within the EMAE. Competence has become a key concept in political, scientific and practical education discussions. It is used as a headword in publications, at conferences and congresses: it dominates strategy papers and practical concepts; it is the standard bearer and point of crystallisation for sometimes bitterly fought differences of opinion. Competence and/or developing competence is competing with the old customary concepts like -education-, -learning-, -qualification- and -human capital- and is sometimes used as a counter-concept or synonym. What is in the Seminar? This seminar focuses on both: competence and competence development. It approaches the topic of -competences- from several angles. It firstly provides scientific, secondly training policy and thirdly practical educational access to the theme: • Education policy development guidelines and approaches • Conceptual boundaries (qualification, competence, capability, knowledge etc) • Various types of competence (subject, method, social competence, key competence etc) • Conditions and forms of acquisition of competence • Methods of recording competence Remarks: The online-Seminar runs from 9th Nov. until 5th Feb. including one final on-campus session at 29th January 2010 ( 9.00 a.m. until 6.00 p.m. ).
