In today s complex and ever-changing world it has become obvious
that even highly developed knowledge and skills are no longer
sufficient to meet new challenges, situations and problems facing
individuals, organisations and nations. This raises an enormous and
potentially confusing issue for educators and trainers: how is it
possible to generate and assess abilities to deal with challenges
and problems unknown or not even in existence at the time when the
learning takes place?
The book builds on the experiences and insights of its expert
contributors, all of whom have worked with, studied and analysed
competences and how they are developed. Their collected work
presents
- Comprehensive explanation and analysis of the concept and
nature of competence.
- Specific contexts of competence development, e.g. in the public
sector or small business.
- Competence development as a national strategy for building an
up-to-date education and training system.
With chapters from around the world, including the UK, USA,
Canada, Australia, Scandinavia, this book illustrates in an
engaging and convincing manner the importance and innovative nature
of the concept of competences, resulting in a varied,
differentiated and empathetic guide to the topic. It will appeal to
educators, both in academic and management circles, as well as
students and administrators of education.
