Diagnostik beruflicher Kompetenzentwicklung

The questions regarding a valid assessment of commercial competence and its development during initial vocational training, as central desiderata of economic education research, are systematically addressed in this volume on an interdisciplinary basis. Engaging with relevant findings from vocational and economic education as well as methods of pedagogical-psychological diagnostics, various assumptions about the nature and development of commercial competence are examined, integrated, and specified in a pseudo-longitudinal design at an aggregated overall level. The author demonstrates that the development of commercial competence and its success factors can be captured through selected methods, and that the developed instruments can also provide benefits for vocational examination practice.
