Competence Models for Assessing Individual Learning Outcomes and Evaluating Educational Processes – A Priority Program of the German Research Foundation (DFG)

Social change, social cohesion, and opportunities for societal development are all dependent on the educational level of the members of a society. Current discussion in educational research emphasizes the importance of the products of educational processes, often referred to as educational output or outcomes, for human resources (Klieme & Leutner, 2006).
