According to Erpenbeck and Heise, competencies are "prerequisites for action, i.e. basic abilities to find one's way in new, open, unmanageable, dynamic situations and to act actively". So far, so good, but what competence models are there and how can I use them didactically?

The second part shows you the possibilities and opportunities of competence-oriented university teaching and offers you orientation with regard to the successful integration of competence development into your own teaching.
