b. Defining the skills to measure / What is going to be assessed/ evaluated?
In order to define the skills that will be acquired and measured, we start from the
Job Description which will outline the tasks for the specific job and the skills
required for that job. Each trainee will require a minimum amount of theoretical
knowledge of the tasks to be performed, some practical and soft skills and work
based competencies that will facilitate them to perform the task. All the trainees
on each of the jobs will also require a general sense of responsibility and a certain
04
grade of autonomy in order to perform the tasks and achieve a successful result.
According to the European Qualification System (EQF), we use the following
definitions:
KNOWLEDGE: means the outcome of the assimilation of information through
learning. Knowledge is the body of facts, principles, theories and practices that is
related to a field of work or study. In the context of the European Qualifications
Framework, knowledge is described as theoretical and/or factual.
SKILLS: means the ability to apply knowledge and use know-how to complete
tasks and solve problems. In the context of the European Qualifications
Framework, skills are described as cognitive (involving the use of logical, intuitive
and creative thinking) or practical (involving manual dexterity and the use of
methods, materials, tools and instruments).
COMPETENCE: means the proven ability to use knowledge, skills and personal,
social and/or methodological abilities, in work or study situations and in
professional and personal development. In the context of the European
Qualifications Framework, competence is described in terms of responsibility and
autonomy.
