Competencies
“Competencies represent a dynamic combination of cognitive and meta-cognitive skills, knowledge and understanding, interpersonal, intellectual and practical skill, and ethical values.” In the U.S. institutions and higher education leaders add civic learning to the categories of competencies that are central to higher education. Some competencies essential to a discipline are developed in the discipline curriculum itself (discipline-specific competencies), while others are developed through allied disciplines or general education (general competencies). Both sets of competencies are essential to the discipline learning outcomes, and both are considered in a Tuning process.
