Competence-based assessment is the cornerstone of the UK Government's reforms of vocational training and of non-academic, full-time education post-16. Australia has adopted similar policies, and there is considerable interest in the notion of 'competence' in both Europe and North America.Alison Wolf describes the main characteristics of the competence-based approach as it has emerged in the UK, and traces its origins in American experimental programmes of the 1970s. The arguments for the approach are discussed in detail.She then analyses the theoretical assumptions which competence-based assessment shares with the criterion-referenced movement as a whole, and synthesizes the growing body of evidence on implementation. Finally, she reviews the prospects for competence-based awards, and offers some conclusions on what is essential to a competence-based approach.Alison Wolf is a Reader in Education at the Institute of Education, University of London.

Originally published in 1926, this book is an exploration of the essentials of logic: the study of the general conditions of valid inference. The main aim of logic is not to teach people to reason correctly, but to explain what happens when they do reason correctly, and why some reasoning is not correct, and this book contains chapters examining judgment and terms; categorical propositions and their implications; and deduction and syllogism.

Higher Education in Nazi Germany was first published in 1944, when it was apparent that Germany was likely to lose the war. Developing themes that were to become commonplace in the analysis of totalitarian regimes, it provides an account of how higher education became a means of both installing and re-enforcing the dominant state ideology.
