A Bermuda Triangle? A Case Study of the Disappearance of Competence-Based Vocational Training Policy in the Context of Practice.
Bates, Inge; Dutson, Judith
British Journal of Education and Work, v8 n2 p41-59 1995

The competence approach often disappeared in the face of more pressing concerns; it serves to legitimate a political response rather than solve an educational problem. (SK)
