Self-competence
Self-competence is a term that is used in rehabilitation and education , among other things . The educational scientist Heinrich Roth coined the term in 1971 to distinguish between competencies that are expressed in human development. In addition, there are social and technical skills .
rehabilitation
In rehabilitation, it describes the ability of patients to take responsibility for the treatment process and rehabilitation on the basis of relevant knowledge . Among other things, this also includes modulating one's own treatment process, paying attention to a healthy lifestyle - but also finding ways to live better with a ( chronic ) illness or disability. Self-competence can be acquired or strengthened by working in a self-help group .
Education
The German Standing Conference describes self-competence as
“Willingness and ability, as an individual personality, to clarify, think through and assess the development opportunities, requirements and restrictions in family, work and public life, to develop one's own talents and to formulate and develop life plans. It includes characteristics such as independence, the ability to criticize, self-confidence, reliability, and a sense of responsibility and duty. It also includes the development of well thought-out values and the self-determined commitment to values. "
The term “personal competence” replaces (in this context) the previously used term “ human competence ”.
In the context of business administration , empowerment or personal competence (here synonymous with human competence / personality competence) is used instead of self- competence - in the broadest sense as the ability to deal with oneself.
