Competence modelling and competence-assessment instruments in the higher education sector

In the framework of the funding line "Competence modelling and competence-assessment instruments in the higher education sector – Validation and methodological innovations" of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), existing models, and pertinent instruments, for assessment of competencies taught at higher education institutions are validated, and innovative measurement methods are developed. In addition, special priority is placed on transfer of the resulting findings into higher education practice.

The following pages describe the overarching objectives of this BMBF funding line, along with the individual research projects being funded. The project descriptions cover the contents of the projects, provide the applicable framework data and list the pertinent contact persons.
