Case Study: National Vocational Qualifications and Competence-based Assessment for Technicians--From Sound Principles to Dogma.
Purcell, Jeanette
Education + Training, v43 n1 p30-39 2001
Misconceptions about competency-based assessment in National Vocational Qualifications include the following: they focus only on workplace performance; they are appropriate only at vocational-technical, not higher/professional levels; they are concerned only with practical skills; and they do not encourage further development. Case study of accounting technicians shows how these issues can be addressed. (SK)
