MODEL & GUIDELINES for the development and assessment of generic competences

In this document, we introduce a model for the development and assessment of competences, which is symbolically named COMPASS, just like our project. Our intention is to provide guidance for planning the development and assessment of competences, rather than a rigid framework that overlooks contextual differences.

The COMPASS Model is versatile so it can be used to design, implement and assess learning experiences aimed at developing competencies. The assessment practices and examples presented in this document focus on the development and assessment of the most common generic competences, which encompass a larger number of individual competences specified in national curricula.
