Abstract

In the beginning of Bologna’s
process and creation of European Higher Education Area (EHEA), great importance
has been to the transparency, increase of quality and concurrency between
institutions of higher education. Nowadays, hot topic in higher education
institutions in Europe are real-time learning outcomes, they are analyzed,
projected and are evaluated today in all Europe and abroad. Traditional models
and methods of success expression in learning and the degree of qualification
is substituted with modern online systems. This paper proposes best practices
for competence based teaching in higher education by using eCompetence
software. The way these competences are organized, activities which are related
to these competences and course contents which will help us to continuously
evaluate students and prepare them for the labor market. Our results suggest
that by implementing competence based teaching system in university evaluation
and competence gaining would be more productive and would better prepare students
for labor market. Consequently, this paper draws attention on provision of
implementation of such a system in higher education by providing competence
matrix, a competence software, and evaluation process.
