The research on key competences is a study necessary to define a common language and background for the implementation of the framework and the online assessment tool: it allows to valorize and integrate previous European experiences
and models and will include the gathering and analysis of the existing European standards to recognize and record the competences, and the methods, practices and tools of assessment and evaluation.
Coordinated by PLATO the VINTAGE partners each conducted desk research in which existing European standards, practices, tools and technological devices in use to assess competences at a European level were collected, recorded and analyzed. For this purpose PLATO developed a format to allow the partners to collect relevant information. This allowed the VINTAGE partners to identify criteria and instruments to build a framework for the evaluation of the key competences, setting the evaluation levels, the descriptors and the checklists on national level. The research was carried out by all partners, each of them wrote a report about the practices for the assessment of key competences used in his Countries with the main references of local literature and online resources.
