Resumen de Assessment for Capability
Educational programmes within the profession need a new approach if graduates are to be adequately prepared for their roles in the twenty‐first century. This approach should emphasize two broad capabilities for professional practice ‐‐ one related to immediate performance after graduation, and the other recognizing the need for further education. Graduates can develop these capabilities if a set of essential competencies is defined, and if their assessment is treated as an integral part of the educational programme. This paper describes new instruments and procedures together with guidelines for ensuring their reliability and validity.
