Key competences
Key competences are a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes appropriate to different
contexts and situations. They encourage the development of skills rather than the assimilation
of theoretical content: individuals become ‘competent’ when they learn how to solve problems
effectively. Competences develop progressively and are acquired in different learning situations
and institutions. They are interdisciplinary because they integrate knowledge that originates
in different academic disciplines. Essential Science Plus 5 focusses on key competences in the unit
activities. The Practising competences page per unit helps develop skills related to competences.
