TL;DR: For instance, this paper found that children high in perceived physical competence were more motivated by skill development reasons, and gymnasts motivated by skills development reasons were more likely to participate in sport.
Abstract: One of the most important issues facing youth sport researchers and practitioners is an understanding of why children participate in sport programs. The participation motivation research, however, has not been linked to an existing theoretical model. Thus the purpose of this study was to test the notions, based on Harter's (1978, 1981) competence motivation theory, that perceptions of competence are related to particular motives children have for sport participation. Sixty-seven children involved in youth gymnastic programs were administered the physical, social, and cognitive subscales of Harter's (1982) Perceived Competence Scale and a motives for gymnastic participation questionnaire. Discriminant function analyses revealed support for competence motivation theory as a viable explanation for the relationship between competence perceptions and motives for participation in sport. Specifically, children high in perceived physical competence were more motivated by skill development reasons, and gymnasts hi...

TL;DR: The results of large-scale standardized patient-based performance assessments are presented and discussed in terms of their feasibility, reliability, validity, and implications for assessing competence in other professions.
Abstract: This article reviews recent developments and measurement findings on the use of live patient simulations or “standardized patients” in performance examinations to assess the competence of medical professionals. The results of large-scale standardized patient-based performance assessments are presented and discussed in terms of their feasibility, reliability, validity, and implications for assessing competence in other professions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a literature review upon the concepts of these management methodologies, their characteristics and applications in the organizational field, and analyze the main similarities and differences between them.
Abstract: This article discusses in what sense competence-based management and performance-based management are independent managerial technologies or parts of the same construct. The authors present a literature review upon the concepts of these management methodologies, their characteristics and applications in the organizational field, and analyze the main similarities and differences between them. It is possible to conclude that, more than independent technologies, competencebased and performance-based management methodologies appear to be complementary and part of a wider organization management model. A new conceptual approach, leading to emphasize the interdependence relationship between these management methodologies, is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present guiding principles for the assessment of competence developed by the members of the American Psychological Association's Task Force on Assessment of Competence in Professional Psychology, which are applicable to the education, training, and credentialing of professional psychologists, and to practicing psychologists across the professional life span.
Abstract: This article presents guiding principles for the assessment of competence developed by the members of the American Psychological Association’s Task Force on Assessment of Competence in Professional Psychology. These principles are applicable to the education, training, and credentialing of professional psychologists, and to practicing psychologists across the professional life span. The principles are built upon a review of competency assessment models, including practices in both psychology and other professions. These principles will help to ensure that psychologists reinforce the importance of a culture of competence. The implications of the principles for professional psychology also are highlighted.
