Lars Heinemann Competence Measurement and Learning – Findings of the Project 'KOMET' INAP Conference Beijing, May 27th 2011
Key questions: • Is it possible to measure vocational competences? • Is it possible to establish a competence model, that is acceptable on an international level? • Is it possible to measure occupational commitment in this context? • How relevant are the findings for trainees, teachers • and colleges?
Key questions: 5. Is it possible to use the concept as a didactical concept for improving teaching and training? 6. Colleagues in China wanted to know how effective their concept of alternating duality works in comparison to the concept of integrated dualism (Germany). 7. What are the factors influencing the development of competence? 8. Would the psychometrical validation of the concept be successful?

Competence is a cognitive disposition to perform in a specific way in a specific context, since areas of competence can, to a certain extent, be generalised by extension to similar situations.
