Kompetenzorientierung in der Finanziellen Grundbildung als Grundlage für die Programmentwicklung

An essential task for administrative staff in adult education is to develop and offer courses. In the field of economic education (basic education), there exist only very few offers and didactic material. Hence, there is a great demand to describe requirements concerning competencies to be taught in this area. Such requirements for competencies may serve as a base for the development of courses in adult education. This article explores the questions on which requirements concerning competencies in basic education can be described empirically. It will provide a theoretical and empirical basis for such a model of competencies. In conclusion, the potentials of such a model to be employed in praxis will be discussed and further research questions will be derived.
