COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT - MODEL FOR EVALUATING PROGRESS
| Resumo: | Soft skills are increasingly valued by recruiting companies. These skills are developed throughout life, but can also be worked on in a vocational training context. Throughout a training course, students are expected to acquire new technical skills, but are soft skills developed in parallel? This model aims to answer this question. It is based on recruitment and selection procedures and proposes the application of data collection and measurement instruments that make it possible to assess competences; as well as the phases of application of the same instruments; and the analysis and discussion of the results is also presented. To analyze the data obtained, this study uses qualitative and quantitative methodologies in order to achieve complementarity between the two and better understand the scenario studied. In the case of assessing soft skills, this involves creating a candidate profile by defining a set of key skills and their expected behavior, using current data on the skills sought by companies in the same area, and assessing them in an observable way in terms of demonstrated behavior, interaction and attitudes, in group dynamics. |
