When it comes to learning, there is large consensus that the different individual approaches to acquiring new knowledge have an impact both on the process of learning as well as on the personal performance in terms of learning outcomes. Against this background, the JGU Center for Quality Assurance and Development has been working with BASF and the University of Applied Sciences Worms since June 2011 on the development of a suitable, scientifically based analysis tool meeting the different needs and objectives of the partners involved. The emphasis is put on competence assessment and the identification of learning profiles and individual motives for learning as well as associated learning guidance.
