This book addresses challenges in the theoretically and empirically
adequate assessment of competencies in educational settings. It
presents the scientific projects of the priority program
"Competence Models for Assessing Individual Learning Outcomes and
Evaluating Educational Processes," which focused on competence
assessment across disciplines in Germany. The six-year program
coordinated 30 research projects involving experts from the fields
of psychology, educational science, and subject-specific didactics.
The main reference point for all projects is the concept of
"competencies," which are defined as "context-specific cognitive
dispositions that are acquired and needed to successfully cope with
certain situations or tasks in specific domains" (Koeppen et al.,
2008, p. 62). The projects investigate different aspects of
competence assessment: The primary focus lies on the development of
cognitive models of competencies, complemented by the construction
of psychometric models based on these theoretical models. In turn,
the psychometric models constitute the basis for the construction
of instruments for effectively measuring competencies. The
assessment of competencies plays a key role in optimizing
educational processes and improving the effectiveness of
educational systems. This book contributes to this challenging
endeavor by meeting the need for more integrative,
interdisciplinary research on the structure, levels, and
development of competencies.

Vor dem Hintergrund DFG-geforderter Grundlagenforschung reflektiert
das Sonderheft den aktuellen Stand der Diskussion um Kompetenzen
und Kompetenzmodelle in Deutschland. Die Autoren der Beitrage sind
fuhrende Vertreter der Bildungsforschung, die sich aus
erziehungswissenschaftlicher, psychologischer und fachdidaktischer
Perspektive mit Fragen der Erfassung individueller Lernergebnisse
und der Bilanzierung von Bildungsprozessen befassen."
In der Reihe der thematischen Berichte zur PISA-2000-Studie geht
dieser Band der Frage nach, wie die Problemlosekompetenz von
Jugendlichen im Rahmen von large-scale assessments definiert und
erfasst werden kann. Es werden analytische von dynamischen Aspekten
der Problemlosekompetenz unterschieden. Fur die Erfassung
analytischer Aspekte werden Papier-und-Bleistiftverfahren
entwickelt und evaluiert, dynamische Aspekte werden mittels
computergestutzter Verfahren erhoben. Zudem wird ein Verfahren zur
Erfassung kooperativen Problemlosens vorgestellt. Die
Kompetenzstruktur des Problemlosens wird im Zusammenspiel mit
schulischen Kompetenzen und familiaren Merkmalen analysiert.
