Contrary to the stated trend, the characterization of Professional Competence is intended to serve as the guiding concept for the paper. The role of Professional Competence is discussed in various areas incorporating context-relevant publications in consecutive chapters. The discussion starts with the area of material development, covering Educational Standards and ends with Didactic Principles.
