A letter to friend, or thinking out loud

Abstract

The paper consists of two parts. The first part presents a review of the article T. Bazarov, A. Yerofeev, A. Shmelev “Collective definition of “competence”: an attempt to extract meaningful trends from diffuse expert knowledge”, sustained in a polemical style. In particular, we are talking about the relationship of concepts such as “competence”, “competency”, “property”, “quality”, “professional important qualities”, “psychologically-important qualities.” The second part describes the author’s view on the evaluation procedure of the job competence, including expert instruction, examples of criteria for assessing competencies, as well as mathematical formula for calculating the job competence.
