How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

At present the concept of “competence” is widely used in the educational literature. However there is no precise definition of the concept in the science of education. For instance in the research of R. Reddy “Administrative Job: Issues and Dilemma» competence is defined as a motivational factor that is responsible for the personal achievements. (Ready, 1967) Although in the generalizing report of the symposium in Bern (27-30 March 1996) on the program of the Council of Europe B. Hutmacher distinguished that the concept of competence as part of a concepts series such as competence, competency, ability, skills, and craftsmanship has the content but it is still not precisely defined. (Hutmacher, 1997) However as the speaker said all the researchers agree that the concept of ‘competence’ is closer to the conceptual field of “I know how” than to the field “I know what.” Nevertheless according to the analysis of the literature it is possible to make a conclusion that today the phenomenon of competence is not stably determined. The absence of the common approach leads to the various interpretations of it and creates difficulties in the classification and evaluation of the future specialist's competence. In this regard this study reveals the essence of the concepts of “competence” and “competency” and the attempts of MA students’ research competence assessment from the position of the competence-based approach are made. According to the results of undergraduates’ research competence examination the evaluation criteria of future specialists’ competence are identified.
