Competence and types of knowledge
competence, in the workplace, refers to the knowledge, skills and attitudes demonstrated by organization members. It is the ability to consistently perform, over time, a discrete task, under specified conditions, to an agreed standard. Standards are set by industries and accrediting bodies.
We developing competences by leaning what to do (declarative knowledge), leaning how to do it (procedural knowledge), and when to do it (situational or conditional knowledge).
When developing competencies we processes information using cognitive processes, when we are able to consistently (on a number of occasions and in a number of situations)demonstrate successful performance, we are competent.
