Andriessen, D.; Johnson, L. (2006): Creating a catalyst for the development of knowledge work competence

andriessen_2006_competence_of_knowledge_worker.gifDieses Paper von Andriessen und Johnson (presented at the 7th International Conference on HRD research and practice across Europe, Tilburg May 22-24) beschreibt den Zusammenhang wischen wissensbasierter Arbeit und Kompetenz. Es ist bezeichnend, dass ein eingewiesener Fachmann für Intellectual Capital Statement und Knowledge Management wie Andriessen, sich mit diesem Thema befasst. Hier einige (aus meiner Sicht) interessante Stellen in dem Paper (Seite 3): “The term competence presents the researcher with definition choices. Broadly speaking, we can find three types of definition in the literature: 1. Check-lists of tasks 2. Knowledge, skills and attitudes 3. Knowledge, skills, attitudes plus judgement. Oost et al. (2001) subscribe to this tripartition, labelling the first category as a behaviourist approach, the second as a generic approach and the third as a cognitive approach (…). This holistic approach has the advantage of allowing consideration of such features of performance as intelligent judgement. This can then be identified as a third category of definition: knowledge, skills and attitudes plus judgement. It is this third category which seems to be gaining ground within the competence debate and which is of the most interest to us as educationalists.” Bitte beachten Sie, dass sich alle Ausführungen auf “knowledge work competence” beziehen (Siehe Titel). Genau das entspricht auch meinen Vorstellungen, die ich in meiner Dissertation weiter untersuche!
