Abstract

Motivation -- To support subjects performing knowledge-intensive processes and to predict their performance, it is necessary to describe and measure the subject's competence (trait) in suitable dimensions. Research approach -- By combining different aspects of process modeling, knowledge modeling and educational competence, a Meta-Model-Map (M3) has been developed. Findings/Design -- A Meta-Model-Map combining the different aspects seems to be a possible approach to combine the different aspects and allow adapting different models for the single areas. Research limitations/Implications -- So far only some parts of the M3 have been tested by populating the model with real data. The statistical evaluation may lack from insufficient number of data. Originality/Value -- So far the idea of competence (trait) has not been widely introduced to process modeling. While the concept is familiar in educational science and human resource management, few work has been done to try a fine-grained, explanatory approach. Take away message -- To evaluate competence for further use, a Meta-Model along with statistics is a possible approach.
