Description

This Springer publication provides a comprehensive overview of literature regarding competence-based vocational and professional education. Since the introduction of the competence concept in the 1950s, the field has evolved significantly. This book structures the subject by distinguishing between three core approaches to defining competence: functional behaviourism, integrated occupationalism, and situated professionalism. Readers will gain a clear understanding of how to operationalize competence through both behaviour-oriented generic methods and task-oriented specific methods. The text also identifies three distinct kinds of competencies to help bridge the gap between the worlds of work and education. This volume is part of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training: Issues, Concerns and Prospects series, making it an essential resource for studying professional education frameworks.
