P1484.20.2 Recommended Practice for Defining CompetenciesThis document provides information related to the IEEE P1484.20.2 working group that is developing Recommended Practices for Defining Competencies. IEEE P1484.20.2 supports IEEE 1484.20.1 which is a technical standard for competency definitions data. This document gives recommended practices for defining the kinds of information that the 1484.20.1 standard encodes as interoperable data, i.e. data that defines a skill, knowledge, ability, attitude, habit of practice, behavior, or learning outcome.Learning Technology Standards CommitteeC/LTSC_7eb86d5e-5d57-11ec-88a1-cf98fd82ea00Sponsoring Society and Standards Committee: IEEE Computer Society/ Learning Technology Standards Committee (C/LTSC)IEEE Computer SocietyEric ShepherdChairSteven ForthVice ChairSecretaryLinda SteedmanVanessa LalitteIEEE Program ManagerStakeholdersWHY GET INVOLVED ~ Competency-based education, training, and workforce development is essential to embrace and develop the new skills required for the future of work. A common vocabulary, and recommended practices, are required to help stakeholders develop and communicate competency definitions. Common, shareable competency definitions enable systems, courseware, assessments, and learning tools to interoperability reference the same competencies so that, for example, learner records can be meaningfully transported from one system to another and from one organization to another. The quality of the information in these competency definitions has an impact on competency-based education, training, and workforce development. The stakeholders include policymakers, educators, awarding bodies, employers, and labor unions.PolicymakersEducatorsAwarding BodiesEmployersLabor UnionsContributors & ConsumersContributors and consumers of this standard will include curricular designers, designers of learning content, credentials designers, learners, developers of academic and workforce competency frameworks, assessments developers, catalogers of learning content, educators, human resources professionals, and job boards, who need well-defined competency definition.Curricular DesignersLearning Content DesignersCredentials DesignersLearnersAcademic Competency Framework DevelopersWorkforce Competency Framework DevelopersAssessments DevelopersCatalogers of Learning ContentEducatorsHuman Resources ProfessionalsJob BoardsCompetency is competently defined and communicated_7eb86ec6-5d57-11ec-88a1-cf98fd82ea00To provide information related to Recommended Practices for Defining Competencies_7eb86fc0-5d57-11ec-88a1-cf98fd82ea00CompetencyInteroperabilitySkillKnowledgeAbilityAttitudeHabitPracticeBehaviorLearningOutcomesData DefinitionRecommend practices for defining data that defines a skill, knowledge, ability, attitude, habit of practice, behavior, or learning outcome_7eb87218-5d57-11ec-88a1-cf98fd82ea00_7eb8731c-5d57-11ec-88a1-cf98fd82ea002021-12-14https://sagroups.ieee.org/1484-20-2/OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
