The study of the genesis and stages of the competence approach formation based on a comparative analysis of the main scientific schools and directions

Abstract

The article considers the current economic paradigm, defining new imperatives that increase the importance of strategies for building human resources and creating an effective structure and composition of human capital within organizations. This problem is caused by the transition to a qualitatively new model of ensuring the sovereignty and economic stability of Russia. The processes of evolutionary transformation of the economy and its departure from the supply model mainly due to the raw materials and speculative sectors of the economy in the direction that correlates with the new current paradigm of transition to the sixth technological order and informatization of processes, where advanced knowledge is the fundamental variable, served as a reason to rethink the paradigm of the education system. Considerable attention is paid to the justified necessity of using the competence-based approach as a component of the technologies for building an effective mechanism of competence-oriented personnel development. The article develops an evolutionary chronological map of the development of scientific schools with different interpretations of the meaning and role of competencies as a variable within the framework of personnel management, as well as the notional starting point of the Russian direction of the competence-based approach. The article identifies a number of problems caused by the lack of common views and interpretations of the theoretical and methodological aspects of the competence-based approach. Based on the results of the study of the genesis and development of the competence-based approach, a comparative analysis of the main schools and directions was made.
